1468230 tn?1286477551 Hi and welcome to our forum. It is always good to hear from people who have remained symptom free for some time, however I believe that finding out and learning as much as possible about the condition can help one to deal with the condition. The fact that you are asking these questions and have come to this forum, indicates to me that you have some concerns that you may be experiencing some new MS symptoms but are hoping that there may be another reason.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Has anyone experienced a full face full of acne for a prolonged period after starting Arimidex for breast cancer treatment? It is my friend who had breast cancer and she is blind and wants me to write for her. She also has Lupus but she has seen a dermatologist and rheumatologist and they dismiss it as acne. She knows she is out of remission with discoid lupus but she also has systemic lupus. But they assured her the 'acne" is not lupus breakout.
Avatar f tn Several factors are usually considered to cause acne such as diet, stress, genetic, dirt hormonal imbalances, cosmetics, work-related and drugs. Treatment options include topical and oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. Normally a combination of treatments is followed and if nothing proves effective then dermabrasion and laser therapy are useful. You can discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
Avatar f tn Bloodwork indicates early menopause. Was not ready to hear that. So down. Was told to monitor for the next 6 months. I don't expect a change though.
Avatar m tn The same time that happened, I got acne and got kinda uglier as well. So that makes me think puberty imbalance hormones did this to me. I also got depressed and used to be very happy (Not because of the acne or getting uglier! just how I started feeling). Has anyone ever heard of this happening, as well as the person getting better once they're out of puberty and reached adulthood? If so, how much long do I have to wait for puberty to be finished?
Avatar f tn It is probably hormonal. The swellings and acne you are describing are in your T-zone, a very common place for these kinds of skin conditions. If this is a chronic condition, your best bet is to see a dermatologist.
Avatar f tn As far as acne, I can tell you that my daughter was suffering from acne due to hormonal imbalance and she had clearlight treatments which completely cured her acne. I imagine that this treatment has not been widely accepted because it really works and then the acne indurstry looses money, but I witnessed it and it worked. However, if you can correct your hormonal imbalance, which is probably harder to do, then your acne will probably clear up.
Avatar n tn m really more interested in finding out the cause than in experimenting with the treatments. Can this be hormonal...menopause, post child-birth? Dr. feels it is definitley not acne, and it also doesn't have the itching and burning that usually accompanies perioral dermatitis. Any other ideas? Thanks!
Avatar m tn I have had a hormonal imbalance for 2 years (producing too much androgen) and in that time I had gained quite a bit of weight. I am now taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen and have actually begun to FINALLY start losing weight. My weight loss is not much yet, but I was wondering if taking these birth control pills is actually the reason for my weight loss?
Avatar n tn I am 25 (F) with a lot of acne problem on my face. i even did my hormonal test which hv shown normal results. i have tried everything else but nothing has help. i m getting married in 4 months. should i still consider hormonal treatment or go on accutane?
Avatar f tn for me but now her vagina has shrunk up such that it is impossible for me to penetrate. Her ObGyn is no help. All she suggests is a hormonal cream that causes her to break out in acne like a teenager. We saw a brief TV ad for some sort of device or ring for this but don't know it's name nor have we seen the ad again.
Avatar f tn Anyways, I went to my doctor multiple times in a desperate attempt to find a pill or medication that could clear my acne, and was even considering Accutane during that bout of acne last year (doc said no because I was on antidepressants at the time). I've tried everything from clindamycin to minocyclin to tretinoin to bactrim (which gave me a rash and high fever, turns out I'm allergic to it) to birth control pills... to no avail.
Avatar f tn So, I had to fill out a questionaire with a million questions before I see an RE at the end of the month. One of the questions was about acne, and whether I have it or not. What does having acne mean? (I've heard getting acne can be a sign of something, I just can't remember what) Lately, I've been having so many breakouts, and today noticed I had some back acne. Gross! I never had acne before.
Avatar f tn I start taking this and it finally help with my terrible acne. I have acne in my back, face and chest. Some its really deep and leave marks everywhere. Go to a dermatologis, and try different treatments. Good luck!!!
Avatar f tn She mentioned that I am going into peri-menopause and that all the symptoms I was describing were hormonal changes. There are 2 things you can do: 1. either go on a low dosage hormonal pill to regulate the hormones and/or 2. take herbal supplements like evening primrose oil, black cohash, chaste berry, magnesium and vitamin B supplements. Please talk with your gyneco, or find one who will listen and who is a woman and will understand. Let me know who you go on?
Avatar n tn I have some hormonal issues- a micro prolactinoma and hypothyroidism, both in treatment, but still not optimal levels. I'm also in a peri-menopause, my period is since few months irregular. My anxiety is very strong, I'm on beta blocker, because I don't want to start with psycho drugs which would make me addicted. Is here someone with similar problems, thyroid condition, peri-menopause, or other hormonal dysfunction, having anxiety all the time? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Just before the detox I was breaking out about once a month, likely due to menopause/hormonal stress. Before that, it was once every 2-3 years. At about the 6 month mark after doing the detox, I began bleeding upon intercourse. Super scary, so I went in to my OB/Gyn and they did a series of tests, saying that there was something wrong with my uterine lining.
Avatar n tn Menopause is what I have....no periods.I'm 24.
Avatar f tn Twenty years ago I had a total hysterectomy. Now I am experiencing all the menopause symptoms. Didn't I go through a "forced" menopause after my hysterectomy?????
643867 tn?1225298753 I do not have hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms normally reported with menopause. My FSH is normal indicating I am not in menopause.
Avatar f tn After 35 years of monthly migraines I am now approaching menopause. I am lucky if I have a couple of pain-free weeks a month, last month it was one day. As I had no headaches when I was pregnant or when I had a contraceptive implant I still have hopes that once I no longer bleed I will have no more migraines. For now though the lenghtening of the time with migraines is extremely worrying and exasperating. My life has been put on hold by the disease. Can anyone addvise ?
1908295 tn?1321933699 Hello everyone I am 50 and experiancing high blood pressure, before that it was heart papiltations. Well the main question is can high blood pressure be related to a hormonal imbalance? I ask this because I have been to the emergency room twice and my ekg is normal and cardiomediastinal silhouete is normal, Hilar structures are unremarkable. Pulmonary vasculature is normal, There is no focal opacity seen in the lung fields.
Avatar n tn Hello, The normal age range for the occurrence of menopause is somewhere between the age of 45 and 55. During menopause, the production of most of the reproductive hormones, including the estrogens, progesterone and testosterone, diminishes and becomes more irregular, often with wide and unpredictable fluctuations in levels,resulting in various symptoms.
Avatar f tn I have been going thru menopause for 1 1/2 yrs, I was put om premilin .
Avatar m tn Are you watching your diet-getting lots of water, fruit, veggies? Have you tried different facial cleaners/soaps?
Tbd Be wary of a woman going through menopause. LOL There is a direct and proven link between menopause and depression and often medication is indeed necessary. One should not be afraid to treat their depression just because it's correlated with menopause. My opinion.
