has anyone experienced a dermoid cyst on hormones/allergic reaction?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Have not posted in a while but I have a friend that was taking E and P and

recently had a dermoid cyst removed, she stopped all hormones and than after

taking 2 aspirin one night went into anaphylactic shock. Since then it has

happened to her twice more after eating other foods. Could this be some sort of

reaction to the P she has been taking for a while. Does P cause allergic type

reactions?

Worried about her.

Thanks,

BigBird! Hi! How are you doing? How are you and your daughters?

About your question. For me. Yes.

I never had a single allergic reaction to anything until I was using OTC

progesterone. It was carefully measured only 14 days a month. It was supported

by my doc and pharmacist. After a few months I started getting huge face

swelling. Something would stink in my face and half of it would be huge. And

the allergies just got worse. My doc gave me an epi pen as he was worried about

that reaction happening near my throat. When allergy season came the only

thing that gave relief was intravenous Vit C!! I moved out of Austin the the

Northwest. A saliva test revealed too much P, but I didn't understand the

consequences. In the NW, that's when I met the WP promoters in my area and got

on that. The first few lines of E felt like heaven even though it made me

nauseated with a headache. All other pain and lethargy and allergy feeling was

gone. Until 4 days into the P cycle and all the hell came back, with bleeding.

Since I got off the WP and eventually detoxed the P I am rather oblivious to

most things people are allergic too. I'm around lots of cats when I visit

friends, the springtime is fine, dust is fine. I haven't gone to Austin during

cedar fever though. But what knocks me? A cycle of Prometrium. If I do it too

long then illness returns and allergy returns. Might just be me, but P is hard

on me. Oh, and during the lat pregnancy (one after using OTC P and having

gotten allergies) at the end of the pregnancy my skin was breaking open and it

looked like poison ivy. I thought that was it at the time, but when on the WP I

got the same oozing from my broken open skin. I talked to Dr. Formby about it

and he pointed out that the time I got the broken open skin was the height of

the P during my pregnancy. I did other research on it about P and those sores

and wiki had links. To me the whole mess of problems were P.

You could show your friend the P dominance article on the RL that discusses how

long it takes to get it out of the body.

Thanks Laurel,

I am doing good just turned 50 and have been on just E Patch for the last couple

of years. My girls are doing well and just taking Vit D for now.

I am getting my period every 28days (the most regular I have ever been has been

the last 4 yrs). Still on high Vit D and calcium a little thyroid and on a

gluten free diet. Don't need any P because I still get my period for 5 days and

shed the lining and when last checked my P was about 16 so my body is doing its

own thing. Can't handle any P at all from the outside. I will tell my friend to

maybe start the E slowly and take as small a dose to keep her comfortable and to

stay away from the P.

That's great to hear Karin! I love your story and how you and your daughters so

elegantly and simply supported your ovarian systems. For anyone interested

search the archives for Karin's posts (Bigbird).

What strength of E patch are you on? I might be able to kick my system back in.

I'm finally down to 1.5 E gel a day now (.75 AM and .75 PM). Many days I

simply forget to put it on now because I don't get hot flashes or major signs

that I'm low on E.

My mother, who got off WP the same time as me hasn't been able to get her dose

as low as I've gotten mine. She has a doc who is always going on about " the

lining, the lining " so that gets the P story going and I'm concerned that Mom is

a bit overdosed again if she needs a 100 patch every 3 days. From my memory an

Estraderm 100 is about 8 mg of E total.

If I could go back to the person I was many years ago with too much P in my body

I'd tell her to use E to get over the hump of P overdose. About the lining...?

I'd say, better to keep your body healthy overall and the immune system in top

form rather than crash it all for abstract uterus fears.

I am on .05 vivelle for 3 weeks, and the week of my period I don't use any E and

then I start up again by cutting the patch in half .025 for a day or two. Period

is pretty normal and heavy for a two days and get cramps on day one or two where

I have to take some advil. Starting to take more fish oil and may try some black

currant oil as well (just read it helps pms on study out of Brazil).
