Since my last post re:norethisterone - I started bleeding heavily 3 days after stopping the tabs, which eventually dwindled to spotting which I get every 3/4 days. I piled on a good 10lbs, and have a face full of spots. Great. But, far worse are the mega flushes I am now experiencing. At least 20 a day/night - far worse than a year ago when I was put on clonidine which seemed to stop them in their tracks. I don't know whether it's the norethisterone that has caused this to happen or if it's just a coincidence, but I feel really rough. Fortunately I'm seeing my gynae this Thursday. I finally had a letter from her saying that the polyp I had showed oestragen stimulation, so she wants to discuss the mirena coil with me.......obviously forgetting that I told her I had had it twice before, and removed twice due to unacceptable side effects (weight gain, acne, constant but light bleeding). Sorry if I'm coming across all whingey, but I'm so fed up. Everything seems like a battle. It took three visits to my GP to get referred back to gynae (didn't qualify for an automatic follow-up as the poly wasn't cancerous) even though I was still bleeding and have had menstrual-like cramps for months. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled I haven't got cancer, especially as my mother had it, and an oestragen-hungry breast cancer, but I know something's not right and I feel yucky day in, day out. Thanks for reading, and God bless you all xxx
