MigrainesQ: I have suffered from migraines for many years. I had 2 children....has my periods until age 59. I am now 60. my bone density is good...my weight is good...hot flushes..... I have always believed in HRT. My doctor gave in and ordered low dose estrogen/progestin and I felt horrible... then tried low dose estrogen.. patch. within a couple of hours... I had a headache...dizzy and nauseous. Isn't estrogen supposed to make you feel good. I am very confused. About a year ago he gave me just progesterone....and for one week I felt good....but will not give that me alone....
A: I do not want to go against your physician’s advice but I have a different feeling about hormones. Progesterone is fine alone if you feel good on it. The majority of my patients are on transdermal (through he skin) estrogen, either the gel or the patch in the lowest dose that works. Progestins are not progesterone and often make you feel lousy It is important to use bio-identical hormones, that is hormones that are identical to those your body produced before menopause. My success rate is over 95% using this approach. Keep searching. I know that you can feel better. We are just starting to consider on-line consultations for women regarding hormones. Keep looking at www.drkomer.com to see when they are offered. |
