Hi,
Some context:
I lost an ovary in 2015 to a cyst aged 35. Aged around 38 I started to experience night sweats and some other symptoms which only do I now recognise as peri symptoms. By Dec 2020 I was is in crisis due to palpitations, numbness, heavy extended periods and adrenalin rushes. Finally in April 2022, after private appointments and numerous tests for a plethora of other things I was prescribed HRT and had a mirena fitted.
For 3 months after the mirena fitting and hrt I'd felt much better. Then at the end of June some symptoms returned and I'm now feel like I'm back at crisis point. My bleeding is under control due to the mirena but my palpitations and adrenaline rushes are extreme. I'm jittery, my vision is blurry and when the adrenaline rushes happen I feel totally out of control. I have correlated these extreme symptoms to ovulation and what would be my period.
My life isn't very stressful at the moment as I'm on summer holidays and my daughters are away with my sister. I feel OK within myself most of the time but these symptoms are causing me some anxiety.
I'm considering stopping hrt as I can't cope with the symptoms but wondered if anyone had experienced similar and might be able to offer some further insight before I call it quits.
I have had some recent bloods which were:
FSH 4.0 iu/L
LH 5.0 iu/L
Oestradiol 1839 pmol/L (500 pgml)
Thanks for reading.
