I'm Unbalanced, Yay!
I got some wonderful news on Wednesday, and I've been so happy ever since. I had a saliva hormone test done a couple of weeks ago, and the results came back that I am all messed up. This has nothing to do with my hysterectomy, since I still have my ovaries. Normal progesterone is 30-90, mine was 20, normal cortisol which is the stress hormone is 4-9, mine is 11.8. They gave me a natural progesterone pink bouncy pill which should really regulate me, they also said when you are this off balance it can affect other things like your thyroid, and mental wellness. I'm going to have to take this forever, but the good news is that this is not the bad hormone to take, estrogen can be harmful. In 3-4 months after this is in my system good, I'm going to wean myself off the paxil, I'm very hopeful that this imbalance has greatly contributed to my anxiety. I'm so thankful to be on the road to mental clarity.

I know how you feel. When I found out my thyroid was off and that could be the reason for my *mental clarity* problems I was so excited. I was even more excited when it DID help!
