Prostap withdrawal symptoms

[Clarabelle1980]

Hi, I am am 44 years old and was put on prostap for over a year as due to have hysterectomy for endometriosis but I also have other health issues namely Graves disease and type 2 diabetes. I had complete thyroidectomy in 2019

Anyway I started prostep to stop periods due to severe pain and heavy bleeding while waiting for hysterectomy, however about 2 months ago I noticed my joints etc becoming weak especially in my wrists as well as brain fog etc which I already suffered from due to no thyroid but had gotten a lot worse.

I stopped taking the prostap and had hardly any symptoms during the first part of the treatment no hot flushes during the treatment hardly needed hormone patches but since stopping it have have been getting dizzy symptoms, severe lower back pain especially when I wake up in the morning ( which i did get from endometriosis but went away on prostap) and sometimes my body would feel shaky and I'd feel dizzy.

As I have other health issues I can't say for sure if it's due to prostap withdrawal or not as I have type 2 diabetes as well.

I am on a 6 month review for gynecology as I am still overweight and consultant wants me to lose another 2 stone before I have the hysterectomy.

Which is a little harder when you have no thyroid to control your metabolism.

I have not had my period yet since stopping prostap.

Any advise greatly appreciated 👍

I don't think it's prostrap withdrawal it's more likely to be your hormones starting to return and your endometriosis. Estrogen can cause most of your issues and we are probably estrogen dominant to start with having endometriosis. Did you take addback HRT with it? This can alleviate some of the pains you experienced. If you are off it now and waiting for hysterectomy then I'd say it's your hormones.
