Monsterfromid, I am sending a huge hug.
Your post struck a chord with me - reminded me so much of how I felt when I was in the midst of the progesterone phase of each HRT I'd tried. I am 49 and I too felt all those things you write about

But - I have logged on here today to post an update (lots of ladies have been kind to me during my struggle with progesterone intolerance) to say I am now on Utrogestan, micronized progesterone , for the prog phase of HRT and I feel absolutely fine!!!!!

(fingers crossed - been on it 10 days now and have felt the awful effects round about day 4/5 on other progs)
Just to say, please do not give up hope, I'm sure there will be a solution to how you're feeling. I know for sure I never want to feel like I did before, and to a lesser extent on my own cycles where I had awful PMT, and am so glad I came across this forum and learned about Utrogestan.
I'm not sure if you are on HRT? or where you are in your cycle? have you thought you might be intolerant of prog? and yes, I know its not the answer for everyone but worth considering.
be kind to yourself, keep chatting if it helps - here's another big hug xxx
