Firstly, probably something only the ladies can help with -- I’d been on progest-e for about a week (3 drops 3-4x each day); I felt fine with it being a low dose and decided that was probably because I was also taking thyroid medication. However, yesterday I got my period after only 18 days. And now I’ve crashed – I know my stress hormones are quite high because I get eczema outbreaks, super emotional, restless sleep, nausea, loss of appetite, among other things. I'd never responded to stress like this prior to eating this way, even the eczema is new. But I’m also not eating any food that I’ve never had before. So I have no idea why. Anyone know what could cause this short cycle/crash?
I’ve been trying everything to lower stress hormones, and nothing seems to be working. I’m still gaining weight, even after 6 months of this stuff. I still can’t go for more than 2 hours without food, or an hour if I’m out and about. I don’t get hunger pangs, just feel super tired, or sore, or dizzy. I’m trying every Peat type of recommendation I’ve come across to lose weight and stabilise blood sugar. It’s not working. I’m just about ready to give up on this kind of "diet", but then I don’t really know what to eat. I am yet to find a medical professional who doesn’t blame my weight gain on the sugar that I’m eating - which probably is the problem, but I do wonder why my body isn’t using it properly, despite my efforts. I can't easily get lab tests, unfortunately.
(Sorry that all my posts on here are whinges, I don't know what to do or where to go for help! Maybe I should just start eating vegetables again??)
