OK ladys!!! need help on this one

I am a 25-year-old mother with a 7-year-old daughter. This is my story.

Early July of this year I started on the Nuvaring (not the first time), All was well for the three weeks except for the fact that that I had some real bad mood swing. I thought it would go away because this is how it was the last time. After the 3 weeks of having, the ring in I took it out, and put another one right in. You are supposed to leave the ring out for a week to go through your cycle and the replace it with a new one. It is not against the law to skip your period, so I did just that.

A few days later, I was lying in bed and the room started to spin, so I closed my eyes and went to sleep. The next morning, I woke up got dressed for work and out the door, I went. Around noon that day I was sitting t my desk and out of no where my heart felt like it was going to blow right out of my chest, I was not able to catch my breath and then my vision started to go in and out. I was going to go home and lay down and one of my co workers told me just to go lay in my car just in case something happened someone would be near me. I would say about 10 min later I was in the E.R and was told that I had PSVT (heart condition) so I went home to lay down. The next day I was back in the E.R and then they told me I was depressed and had anxiety, which I new was not the case but ok what ever the Doctors say. I had told them about the pills (not bc) I had taken a few days before and they told me that was not the issue and nor was the birth control I was on. So back home I went and slept most of the day. The following day I got myself together enough to get in the car and Pick up my Daughter from my Brothers House (her vacation) the next Morning I was on my way back to the E.R! In addition, was told the something again.

Well I am a woman and have lived in my Body for 25 years and I know it like no other. By this time, I wanted noting in my body so I took my Nuvaring out and Guess what. After my cycle I was fine. To be honest I thought my body was reacting to the medication (not BC) I had taken the week before, so after 2 weeks of being back to normal I made the choice to go back on the ring.

I put it on Monday Aug 22 and on Friday the 26 I was at work and all hell broke loose in my body, vision off, heart pounding,weakness,tired ect. So went outside to get some air and that did not work and the rest of my day was a mess. The next day I was fine, went on about my life, and went to spend time with family and friends. Well just when I thought all was well.....Sunday I woke up in a panic, heart racing, crying and tingling in my arms,neck,back and chest, all of the same symptoms I had before. My boyfriend grabbed the box that the Nuvaring came in and started to read and much to our surprise I had all the worst symptoms. I picked up the phone, called the on-call Doctor, and went over my findings. He then told me “Well I think you have found your problem! Can you take it out? I told him I had just removed it about 10 min ago. He said Ok, and I should call my Doctor On Monday to get back on a different form Of BC. In return I told him that I was done with the shit and GOD made it possible for my to have children and I will be damned if I am going to mess my body up any longer and I hung up the phone.


Ever since the ring was taken out I have been a mess. I am going through my second natural cycle now. There was a period of a 2 weeks where I was fine and then BAM all hell breaks loose once again.

I'm taking a tone of vitamins right now. the Doctors have tryed to push prozac down my throat. My family doctor gave me paxil and I used that for 6 days and "said no more". Today is the first day with out any medication. I had a rough morning but fell some what ok now!

If you can think of anything else I need to do please let me know!!!
Thanks!!!!
 
what medication?
Nuvaring is birth control but u never said the other type of medicaiton you are on?

Also sometimes we get paranoid.. after we get bad reactions to things we think they are still there.. just a thought
 
Hey Covergrl :):

You posted me privately but before I responded to that I noticed this posting ... truth be told, you telling it makes it MUCH clearer than your dear BF's ... his heart's in the right place but he's not so hot at history of present illness.

What medications and vitamins (prescription and otherwise) are you currently taking? A ton of vitamins isn't necessarily needed ... let's take a look at that first.

You said all hell still breaks loose, I'm assuming that's the emotional upheaval with physical problems like you were getting when you were still on the Nuvaring (but now you're NOT using it)? The heart pounding, vision fading in and out (you could actually be getting orthostatic hypotension from the tachycardia), room spinning, etc.?

The symptoms you're describing COULD be purely emotional, but I have a hunch they're not. Your BF strongly believes that your problems are purely endocrine (hormonally) based, I'm not so sure, but I won't say it's impossible.

Here's an example: HYPERthyroidism (too much thyroid) will cause a LOT of the symptoms you're describing, but I would also expect you to be also either losing your hair, or losing weight, or your hands would be shaking, or you'd be too hot, or some combination of the above. And there's more than one potential cause of hyperthyroidism.

I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just trying to point out that long range diagnosis with sketchy details is dangerous business.

If you think you're dealing with an estrogen inbalance the safe, easy way to eliminate that as a problem is to go the health food store and buy a good natural progesterone cream and use 1/8 teaspoon twice a day for two weeks, starting fourteen days after your period started, you want to rub it into your tummy, thighs, inner arms, soft skin that doesn't get a lot of sun, and rotate locations. But estrogen dominance generally doesn't cause tachycardia ...

A panic attack causes many of the symptoms you're describing, too, but usually a panic attack doesn't wake you out of your sleep ... and panic attacks generally don't make you excessively tired.

I'm really beginning to wonder if the Nuvaring isn't just coincidental ...

Think really hard, is there some pattern, time wise, to the episodes? They seem to happen sort of in conjunction with your periods, but I'm wondering if there's some place you're going (work or home or somewhere else) and your getting exposed to some sort of chemical, like pesticides or cleaning agents ... chemical sensitivity would cause ALL of the symptoms your describing, but it's damn tough to diagnose, there are no definitive tests for it, it's sort of a process of elimination and intuition.

Thanks for the reply!

Well I can not think of anything that I have done diffrent in my home life,work life or just my life period.

Right now I am up in the air about the whole thing. I am not sure if my head is on the right way,or up my ass trying to figure this crap out.

The episodes seem to come and go. I will be ok for a few weeks and them all hell breaks loose once again. My mornings seem to be real bad. As the aftrenoon draws near I start to feel better from the on. I can only think that is is hormonal at this point.

Almost a week to the day before I started me period is when I started to feel all the symptoms again.

Another thing that is diffrent then before is that my boobs would always get sore right before my cycle. These last cycles that have not been sore at all(weird)

Okay .. the timing of the moodiness with the breast soreness really tweaks it for me, add that to the fact your BF said you've had a couple of funky periods, and your loss of libido, the mood/depression, I definitely think you're having anovulatory periods (not releasing an egg).

The one thing you could try that's totally natural and totally harmless is the natural progesterone cream I mentioned. Try that for this month and see how you feel. If it's what you need, you'll know in less than a month. The cream costs under $20 a tube. One of the common side effects of using progesterone cream (besides a general mood calming effect) is breast soreness, it's actually like the only negative side effect.

Check out Dr. John Lee's book, that explains all the fun details about hormones, artificial hormones, estrogen, progesterone. Insufficient progesterone will make you feel like you're losing it. On the plus side if it's what you need your body will straighten itself out.

I'm curious, would you happen to be getting headaches/migraines, or shooting pains in your eyes?

As a matter of fact I bought a bottle yesterday and used it last night,and a few times today! I will say that it is very calming! I am also using primrose oil before bed.

It's just going to be a waiting game from this point......

Trying to get throught this the natural way is the only way! I think this is going to be the best way.

I will keep you up to date. I will aslo let you know what the Doctor as to say on monday (keeping finger crossed on this one)

Thanks for the info !!!!!

Groovy, hope it works. Just keep in mind you do want to measure it and you do want to be using it the two weeks before your period is due. The EPO is good stuff, too, and I'm saying a little prayer that your doctor has their head screwed on straight this Monday!!! BTW, don't mention the cream to the doctor or it's going to make their head explode ;)
 
you say not to use the cream until 2 weeks before my period is due. Why? I have been using it while I'm going through my cycle. And about the headaches. Last week I had a headach for days. Not to the piont I could not stand it but to the point it made me mad because there was nothing what would get it to go away,and yes,sometimes my eyes would hurt (behind them)
 
OH, I almost forgot to let you know what vitamins I was using at the present.
Vitamin C 1000
Vitamin B complex
Vitamin E 400IU
Soy pills
Primrose oil (before bed)
Melatonin (before bed)
And Phytoestrogen body cream w/ dong Quai licorice and Black Cohosh

Why should I not tell the Doc about the cream????
 
Why wouldnt u tell him?

Maybe the Doctors think the cream is a big Hoax.

Well this morning was a little easier then other mornings. I had some tingling and a little heart-pounding episode, other then that I feel much better today! Not so tired I might add. Which is a good thing cause I have a ton of house cleaning to do.LOL?

Now I’m 6 days into my cycle and thing seem to be looking up.
 
Well Lady's lets just say the Endo Doc was no HELP!!!

This man could not even look me in the eyes while he was talking to me. His famous words were “I do not know” umm I’m not sure” “It could help”

He say's I think you could be going through pre-menopause. He said there is a shot I could give me that would stop my cycle for 3 months,but then you could be right back to where I started.
He then recommended PROZAC!! I told him I was not using that again because it made me worse and the he gave me to sample boxes of Lexapro. He also told me there was no way to test my hormones!!!

I do not think this man has ever had to deal with something like this.

So I left his office being a 25 year old women going through pre- menopause and sample boxes of antidepressants.

Let me add this…….I was not in his office with a box of tissues crying my eyes out. So why would he try to shove that crap down my throat?

I have to say that before I punched him in the head I had to take some deep breaths and hold my ass in the chair. I have never met a Doctor that was such an idiot.

Well I am back to square one!!!!

Sounds like my former doc.
If you have insurance and he was a part of you plan make a phone call to your provider about the service or lack thereof he provided.

Find another doctor and don't stop seeing different people until you can find someone to help you.

DON'T GIVE UP.
 
Well I have another appt today with a Holistic Doc. I will keep my fingers crossed once again. On monday I have another appt with my OBGYN,just to go over my charting that I have been keeping track of.

I do feel much better now!!! I have to say being a women is sometimes ROUGH!
 
Let me just say that I should have seen this Doctor in the first place.

He was awesome, understanding and was straight to the point. Now I was a little worried when he was looking at my tongue, but only because I had no idea why he was looking there.

He told me the tongue is the road map to the body. Then showed me how you can tell what a person is lacking and what a person has to much of just by the color, in-dents and the size

WOW!! was all I could get out of my mouth. After he was done taking notes he said ” let me go over this for the next few days and come up with something that is going to fix what’s going on in your body and not just cover it up with Damn drugs the Doctors are pushing on you.

Lady’s after those words came out of his mouth I felt those 90lb weights come right off my shoulders. I have found someone to listen to me for the first time in 3 months! Now I feel like I am getting somewhere. Never the less I feel blessed to be doing this without the mind-altering drugs Doctors are handing out like Vitamins these days.

“LET’S FIX THE PROBLEM…NOT COVER IT UP”

WOOOOHOOOOOOO
 
I don't get over to this side much, but I was reading your bf's posts on the other side.

Gotta' love those holistic docs! I'm so happy for you. Simple depression is hard enough to deal with but your symptoms I'm sure are hell! Hopefully, he will get you all fixed up and on your merry way back to HAPPY!!!!! :)

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

I love thse stories.
 
I feel great!!! I have a tiny headache but not to the point, I have to take something. Now this morning I was thinking “oh shit in a few weeks I am going to be a dang mess again” Then I found that I was just working myself up and need to stop this shit and just enjoy being me again.

I guess that’s to be expected. I have been on a roller coaster called “Between PMS and preimenopause”for 3 months now. LOL!!

However, I love feeling more like me and not my evil twin. I told the b/f…look at it this way, you have 2 girlfriends (one is nice and the other is not so nice) LOL

:D Remember the song by Meredith Brooks? "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed
I'm your health, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between, You know you wouldn't want it any other way."

Now we know what here problem was :qt:
 
That's waht i told you.. u can't stress.. because if you worry about it.. you will get worked up:)
 
First, let me say thank you to all the EF Ladies that have left me such nice responses over the past few weeks! It means a lot and has helped so much!!

I had one more visit with my OBGYN yesterday afternoon. This time I was not a bundle of nerves and crying the whole time. I guess this helped some. Because now he knows how I feel from day to day. I am not just a mess all the time!

He is sending me to have my FSH,LH,Testosterone and DHEA Sulfate level’s checked. The only thing that I’m wondering is weather I should go now even though I feel pretty good or should I wait till I’m a mess all over again? He said they will be able to tell, but I am not sure.

What do you Ladies think?

I had my blood test done for my Hormones and I should know something by Tuesday of next week.

Yesterday was not a good day for me. I had not been feeling to well for the past three days. Yesterday was the worst.
I was feeling dizzy all the time and some chest discomfort that was starting to get painful and. I called my Family Doctor and she advised me to make an appt with a Cardiologist. I made an appt with them for Next Tuesday.

The Holistic Doctor is still working on the things that we would like to me to take, so nothing there yet.
I feel a lot better today considering the way I was feeling yesterday. I am 2 weeks away from starting my cycle. So I may just be going through some different symptoms.

I will keep you updated on my progress:)
 
Re: OK ladys!!! need help on this one. Update 11/12

WEll I have my all natural supplements in hand and just took my first dose of the day!

Yesterday while I was in the office picking up the bottles The Doctor came up to me and said " watch your goinng to feel great"

Talk about a smile on my face. I can not wait to be back to the old me. Nevertheless the wonderful B/F and my little girl are really wanting the old me back. Lord knows there such troopers!

I am going to keep a journal of my progress starting today. Praying this stuff works!

Thank you lady's so much once again for your support! :verygood:

Now what I am taking......

Shen-Gem 3 pills @ 3x a day
Eight Treasures- 3 pills @ 3x a day
and both pills on a empty stomach! yuckkkk

:heart: Shannon
 
when did the doc say you should be seeing improvement? ...a day, a week?
 
I started taking the pills on Nov 11.
I can feel a change already. Today is a very good day and my cycle is right around the corner so this is a good thing!

So far so good!

But the Doc said may notice a change in 3-6 weeks.
 
Re: OK ladys!!! need help on this one( up date)

Just a little up date on how I have been feeling....

On Saturday (6 days before my cycle is due) I just had this over welming feeling of sadness,and found myself sitting on the couch without anything to say pretty much a zombie. When dinner was ready I started to cry because there were no clean spoons for the soup!!!

I looked at myself and started to laugh and could not believe I was crying over something so little. Then out of no where I was feeling much more like me.

I found myself so stress out on Sunday because My daughter was driving me nuts and did not know how to be a good little girl in the store while I was trying to get some X mas shopping. She is 7 and should not have been acting in this nature.

Now again today (4 days before my cycle is due) I was sitting at work and I just started to cry for no reasson,and then about a hour later I was feeling like me again.

Keep in mind I have been feeling much better until just this past week. I have to say as the months go by the better I'm feeling.

Nevertheless I'm keeping the faith and praying this is the last month I have to deal with this crap.

The Doctor has yet to call me about my Hormone test that was done 2 weeks ago. I have called and left a few messages. So I guess I will have to wait and see.
 
Has the doctor's office called you yet?!?! I sure as hell hope they have by now!! How are you feeling?

You know, last night I was watching the news and one of our local boys (21 yrs old) was killed by a roadside bomb over in Irac. Usually, I feel really angry, shake my head and curse the assholes, but this time it was all I could do to hold back the tears. My jaw was KILLING me I was trying so hard to fight it. My fiance was in the room and I didn't want him to see me like that.

Then this morning, I'm on my way to work and hear a song on the radio and....same thing. I'm feeling a little weapy lately, but I'm sure it's my hormones and where I am in my cycle.

You're not crazy, we all do it! lol Yours just needs a little xtra attention. It is good that you can stop in the middle of a cry and realize what's going on and make it stop. That's definitely a good thing!
 
My hormone test came back normal. That is what I excpected being I was feeling fine when the test was done. I was reading that when you have a hormone test done it's suppost to be done the week before your cycle,during or a week after you cycle. beings my doctor this he is the Doctor of all doctors he sends me two weeks before my cycle starts! When he calls me about the test he say well something could still not be right,I think you need to get back on Birth control.

He must have lost his frickin mind (what I was thinking) How many times do I have to tell these People that The birth conrol caused me to have this problem in the first place. I was on the lowest birth control(low hormones)

There was 38 days in between my last cylce and this one I started on the 30th of Nov.
I do however still cry a lot when my cycle is near.

i just have to keep strong(says*missfit*) This month is way better then last month,and better then the months before. So I am getting better.

I just keep the faith and lay it in Gods hands.
 
Just another update. 12/06/05

My cycle is ending after 7 days. This cycle was a little different then the months before. I actually had cramps in my lower abs and in my lower back. My days were better during this cycle.

Thursday morning was a little rough but as the day went on I felt better. Friday morning was a little rough but my night was GREAT! I felt like the old me. Saturday Morning was good, got up cleaned but noticed to get tired quick. Therefore, I would relax a bit and get right back to it. The night was wonderful. Sunday was good in the morning but Sunday night was different. My Daughter said something that just got to me. I had to leave the dinner table, go to the back room, and cry.

Yesterday was a good day all day besides a little crying while talking to my Dad.

Now today is a different story. I have tingling in my arms and I am very, very, very tired.

This feels like a never-ending battle
 
Covergirl, I tried to PM you but your mailbox was full. I sent you a note via your hotmail account.

Oh, another thought ... what's your diet like? Are you getting enough fats/esp. EFAs????

Well either you're either sick to death of my questions and being sarcastically facetious, or in a good mood ... ;) I'm hoping for the latter ...

Primarily what are your pro/fat/carb ratios; do you use flaxseed oil, eat coldwater fish? If you don't get in what your body requires in EFAs some very odd things can go haywire with your health, and there's some very interesting research that cropped up that some people just require MORE of these types of fats than others -- has to do with where our ancient ancestors came from, whether they were primarily coastal dwellers and had a plentiful supply of fish.
 
Another update 12/14/05.

After some talking with Musclemom and her searching, I have learned some new things about myself. First off, I never knew what Candida was nor did I ever think I had it. With a small test in the morning and answering some questions, I pray that this was my problem all along.

I feel good at this point and hope things will continue to get better from here on out.

Well back to work for me! I will keep you up to date on this diet and how I have been feeling!!!!

Thanks to all the Ladies who have helped me out and answered my questions!!!

Muah!!!!
 
UpDate 1/05/06

One more cycle has come and gone(31 days in between). I had some nervousness as time came close but much to my surprise this cycle was not so bad. I felt somewhat sad and a little anxiety but nothing like before. However my stomach as been killing me. It almost feels like there is not enough room in my stomach for all that has to fit in there. When I lay down on my back, I feel pressure and when I relax my stomach, I fell some pain. I tried a few things the Doctor recommended. Still not relief; so I will be back to see her once again.
 
Girl, we need to get this thing figured out....for your sanity!!! Glad to hear you're feeling better...kinda' feeling better. Hope all is well with you.:rose:
 
For the hormone issues, I would suggest saliva testing. Check out some of the info at www.hormonewell.com about human identical hormones too.

Good luck, hun. I've been going through hormone imballance issues since I was a teenager (I'll be 40 this year) and am just now getting some help with HRT. Some of it's hit and miss though, you gotta keep being patient and educating yourself. I have lost faith in most doctors.
 
Hey Covergirl did you post this in the medical forum awhile ago? If not there is something on there that sounds just like your problem....
