Fybroids and zoladex

Hi I have 2 injections so far, my period has stopped this month but pelvic pain and joint pain has been really bad this time, also have been getting cramp. Is this normal?

Hi. Is it Prostap injections? I had four of these (one a month). The side effects I had were joint pains, uterine cramps (mild), tiredness, mood swings, loss of appetite, dry and brittle hair and hot flushes. These were not too bad as it was Autumn/winter and i just sat outside in the cold in my tshirt and pj bottoms for a few minutes! I had no HRT back up. But by third injection things were easier. Hope this helps.

Wow, that sounds exactly like what I experienced for years with no relief. I even had repeated labs, was put on every different birth control pill or form of estrogen possible...only later discovered that the estrogen was the cause! Last May, I discovered a treatment which has seemingly cured my endometriosis, PCOS, related pain, and ALL symptoms...I was constantly fatigued and overall felt awful. My joints hurt and I literally was worried I had cancer or something terminal...that's how bad I felt! Apparently, many women today are estrogen dominant (birth control pills make it seriously worse because of the synthetic estrogen) and the elevated estrogen in our bodies throws the body out of synch. I began using an over the counter progesterone cream (ProgesterAll) which is also available online. I used it religiously morning and night...into the second month of using it; huge results. No more cyclical migraines, horrible ovarian pain that lasted for days, cysts, or ANY of the terrible issues that I had been experiencing for years. I've currently been on it for right at a year and have never had such regular periods and been so pain free in many years. All of my migraines and 'sinus' migraines and allergies have quit too. I am not taking any birth control pills or anything that could possibly increase estrogen, as the progesterone naturally balances it and counteracts the effects of estrogen...thus, the ovarian pain from my ovaries being literally fried by too much estrogen has totally stopped... I first started experiences all of those symptoms with the use of birth control pills when in my early twenties...I am now in my mid thirties. Months after using progesterone the endometriosis, all symptoms of it, literally vanished as the elevated estrogen was no longer worsening it, etc. This is just my personal experiences but please consider reading up on estrogen dominance and the use of progesterone to counteract too much estrogen! It literally gave my life quality again and ended all of my pain and the constant sickness.
