I had a total hysterectomy in June and have battling just about everything since then!! I have had 3 saliva tests done for hormone levels, along with blood work for hormones & thyroid. My depression is getting worse & worse. Trying to juggle the hormone meds is a challenge, to say the least. I am using the Femring for estrogen & Prometrium for progesterone. My DHEA level came back incredibly high in both the saliva & blood tests. My gyn is sending me for a CAT scan of the adrenal glands to rule out any tumors (??). My life is such a mess, emotionally & physically. I can't get a grip on things and I'm tired of trying meds (I also have Raynaud's syndrome). I've tried so many AD's & none have worked. I simply give up. Perhaps a higher power is telling me that this is as good as it's going to get.
Good luck with the hormones! It is a true jungle, and I believe that hormonal balance could be the key to happiness!!!
