Hi Tara,
It's aOK to have really bad days. I am here for you and am hoping
tomorrow is a better day. I do think you can get hot flashes from the
Progesterone, but like you I am an opposite. I was having hot flashes
pre any kind of treatment and got much better on the Prometrium. I
think our age difference has a lot to do with the differences we are
feeling as well. When I was your age, I had so much tailbone pain I
thought I was gonna die. Everyone said it was from my poor posture, but
now I know it was because of adeno since many on the site I go to have
lots of tailbone, low back etc. pain. That pain is back for me now
post ablation. A chiropractic adjustment really helped the first time
and I'm not sure why, but I'm going to find one and do another since the
last one helped until now which has got to be 10 years. I hope you can
find relief ASAP!!
Tara
