Dr. Andrew P. Jones, M.D

Becky,

I’ve been really ill (still am) and it involves my hormones. Mine flatlined at an all-time low
and I am having shocking symptoms right now. My progesterone is basically zero (that will give you erratic periods)
and my estrogen is so low it’s worse than ever. 12 pg/ml on my recent labwork. oh please!
I may as well be dead. I am back to using a cane since I can barely walk and my legs are ready to collapse.
It’s so weird to read your post today since no more than an hour ago I was thinking about when I got off the pill in my mid 30’s.
Scary coincidence.

The problem with the pill is it contains fake progesterone. They call it progestin but it is not what our bodies make.
Being on the pill is like being pregnant in a way. The levels of hormones usually are much different than our own so when we get off the pill,
our bodies can become very confused. It can take 6 months or so to even get some kind of a rhythm going again in the body.
Knowing what I know now, I would never have used the pill.
If you have a doc who doesn’t know that hormones are linked to migrainous activity, get rid of him or her.

You are right not to get hormones on line. That is ridiculous. You need to find a doc who knows what they are doing.
BTW, acne is a sure sign of hormonal imbalance. I have had the same problem.
The cause of erratic periods and migrainous activity are the same. Hormones.
This is no secret, trust me. It’s been for known for what-- decades.
There’s so much info about hormones and migraine you’d die before reading it all.

Elizabeth Vliet M.D. has written great books on hormones. She is a neuro-endocrinologist.
