Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi to the new user. From what I've learned from Dr. Schwarzbein, my amazing endocronologist, it's important to taper the hormones slowly. I'm doing just that and experiencing all kinds of weird things...don't even really know if they're all hormone related since she also has me on a strict anti-candida diet. I'm having serious leg issues, especially on one side, where I feel like I have a rubber band around them all day and restless leg syndrome type symptoms at night which is making sleeping challenging which makes everything else weird. Now I'm starting to have pain in my groin so I think I'm experiencing other things as well...and I'm scared. But back to the hormones, YES, Progesterone blocks Estrogen uptake. That's why when my periods where too close together (21 days instead of 28) the doctors who didn't understand, kept upping my E when they should have been lowering my P. Anyway, take a couple of months to lower each one. I was on E+4, now, 3 months later I'm E+2 and she has me doing this one more month. Doctor has also lowered my P and now I'm on a shorter cycle of it from day 18 to 28 instead of day 14 or 15. That's all I know for now. But if anyone else is suffering from leg twitches, let me know please! beth > > Hi Everyone, > > Our newest member has arrived. She is suffering on the WP. Sounds like the P is blocking the E. )-: I haven't heard of that one before. It takes a while for some women to build up the P, but it's amazing to me when someone can bypass immune suppression, high blood sugar, hair loss, weight gain, and have this be the first sign. > > Welcome new member.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi beth: I was thinking of doing a phone consult with Schwarzbein..I have been a very complex pt and I like much of what she has to see (bought both Schwarzbein Principle I and II)..However, she does NOT like porcine thyroid..believes this contributes to insulin resistance. However, T4 meds cause my Hashis antibodies to rise and I get major Reverse T3..Do you know if she still feels the same re: Armour/ERFA/etc?
