being 49 is not for the faint of ovary.
Sep. 3rd, 2024 08:49 pmI might not be able to do HRT. Which is so sad for me.
I stopped getting hot flashes, but thb, that was not a very severe symptom for me.
So far my mood has not shifted, my joints still hurt, my skin is the same, my brain is still just as foggy, I have more headaches instead of fewer, my sleep is the same, my energy is the same, I realize things will not change overnight, BUT.
My tinnitus is WORSE, by like, a lot.
My orgasms are weaker?
And my right ovary is SCREAMING at me. Daily. Stabbing pain. Multiple times a day.
It has done this before, but not with this frequency. It has been three days straight of regular intervals of stabbing pain.
I don't understand why estrogen would do this.
But I think I need to stop.
I have no one to talk to about this who would respond immediately. I will try sending a note to my doctor, but normally her team's reply is to schedule an appt, and she is booked out several weeks.
Sigh.
