Guest guest Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hi Laurel, After reading your reply, I immediately went into a panic attack. it scared the crap out of me. Jaw dropping response from Dr. Formby...OMG!!!!! So now what? am I doomed to die from this mess? is there a way to recover? What the hell did the WP do to me, to us? we should sue them!!!! I have been to so many doctors and they have not a clue how to help me and think I am nuts. how long were you on the WP? what happened to you? how did you fix it? Sure you can post my story...anything I can do to help spread the word of how awful this junk is and how it is ruining our lives, our bodies. What do I do now? is there healing or we are doomed? 1395 progesterone on the saliva tests after being off for 9 days, that’s an obscene amount of progesterone, no wonder I am so sick. Estradiol was over 550. I just stopped the protocol cold turkey, maybe that was a bad idea and not to taper down. No amount even the smallest amount of progesterone and estradiol that a new gyno put me on made me sick. I had a hunch this was the wrong way to go and I should have trusted my instincts. now its too late. Will I die and could I die. I am off since April 24th 2011. I am scared to death what I did to my body, my adrenals, my entire endocrine system and beyond. You can always write me off group if you like. do you have my story to print or need it? I hope you are doing well, Fondly, Nanci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hi Nanci, You are completely welcome on the group!! It's for post-WP women needing support that I kept the group alive! That's why the archives have been maintained. It took me years to get to normal doses of E and be able to handle the P. I posted about it recently on RL. My Mom and I both used a lot of E to overcome the P overdose. We did the WP from Sept 04 - the Sprung of '05. There are women on RL who did it for several years and then it stopped working for them. For some of us, when we would rub the area we put the P (the depot) it would dislodge P into our bloodstream. Some of us used for E to counteract that. Other women had very different responses. If they used more E they thought they would have a heart attack their hearts pounded so hard, or they got hives. In my case the P made my heart pound and E settled it down. Some women simply went cold turkey. Our journeys are in the archives. The most important thing is that you gather information and then see what fits for your body. Work with a doc who will listen to your experience. I recommend NOT getting a massage in the areas you rubbed in the P. There is no one size fits all method for getting of the WP. Be very attuned to your experience and see what symptoms and responses you are having. The blessing from this is that I got very clear about what E and P do to me. Now I can feel when I need E and when I need P and am clear on the difference. I think women who don't realize what their bodies have been through are the ones in danger. If you are well informed I believe you can get through this. You can access the archives on the groups' yahoo page.
