Hera again,
Well, I got another estrogen pellet Monday and I am feeling pretty bad. I already suffer from dysthymia but this was different, felt very depressed, kept thinking about all I had to look forward to was getting older and dying (like you said, looking in the mirror is not fun although I don't look too bad yet as I had a face lift about a year and a half ago and I must say he did an excellent job--out today and saw this card that said, "the only thing bad about middle age is that you grow out of it" and I just got so depressed). Also been feeling slightly jittery, difficulty concentrating, really getting worried but then I thought I bet it has something to do with estrogen and probably being hormonally unbalanced. My dr. keeps saying that it may take a while to get everything balanced properly and that for some women it takes a while but I'm with you, this is getting pretty frustrating. I think my testosterone is going down also--still working out hard at gym and libido higher than it was but like you said, not going crazy anymore. I am now taking a vaginal progesterone that you take every other night for 6 doses a month. However, I am not losing any wt--can't believe it as much as I'm working out but then I do like to eat but still. The skin tone is better--luckily I'm not hairy so that's not a problem but my face has broken out some which is certainly the pits--in your 50s with zits, unreal I don't know, guess I will try a little longer but do agree with you, it's been a bit of a roller coaster.WHere do you live and what is your doctor telling you. Am so glad that found someone else who is not thrilled with these pellets.
