When Hormones go Haywire. Life can be hell.

Having had and still have mine going haywire, the article above makes for sobering and interesting reading.

In my case if somebody had run a thyroid test, when my periods went haywire and energy level went flat among other common symptons, I may not be in the horrific state I am now left in care of surgeons and Drs who failed to hear what I was reporting.

It was when I was put on Deprovera the panic set in. I went a few hours later to a party I went from happy directly into a full blow red mist rage. I scared myself such was the ferocity of my rage. I could not control myself at all. I still now suffer nightmares and anxiety of I feel a red mist appear.

The rage was brought on by... the barman put 4 icecubes in my orange juice instead of 5.. I just went ballistic. I felt as though I was being pulled backwards watching but unable to stop this monster that took over. I didnt even realise I had shattered the glass in my hand and cut myself quite badly.

Thats when I learnt all about hormonal imbalances and how much they are real issues. certainly not ' womans problems' to be dismissed by Drs.

It's good that the Daily Mail published this article and I am sorry you had such a disturbing time with your hormones. It must be frightening when you don't know why you are 'out of control'.

I hope you are getting better.

Thanks Shaws. Fingers crossed for a miracle to happen. I can but hope that things settle down.

As for out of control, If I feel cross I keep out of peoples way. If I am angry I go to bed and sleep it off. strange side effect but rather sleep than lash out verbally or physcially. Its awareness of the problem that firmly keeps me on guard and grounded.

I have a warning I insisted be put on my medical file stating never to give Deprovera or similiar and to not anger me.

It is also in my childrens file not to give Deprovera due to adverse effects, possibly inherited from Mothers adverse reactions to it.

It's great that the Mail has printed this - shame that their info about Hypo is so lame..! Particularly because their case study is a MSP! HUMPH!
