When I left the hospital I was fine emotionally for about a week, as they placed a large estrogen patch on my abdomen before I woke up form surgery. When that evidently started to wear off, the EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS from when I was 20 came back with a vengeance - cold sweat panic attacks/severe can't-stop-crying depression, etc.
m sure the NP went over it with me, but my memory is totally shot.) I am just not sure exactly how the Fentanyl patch works. I know it releases the medicine through your skin over a period of hours. I started out changing it every 72 but she changed it to every 48. What I'm wondering is, if I were to take it off and not put another one on, how long would the medicine still work? I am pretty sure when she started me on this she said it takes about 12 hours to kick in.
t have, and was placed on a higher dose of estrogen. I use the vivelle dot patch, oral estrogen and vaginal estrogen. This seems to have helped the urinary problems amongst other things. Are you on hormone replacement?
There is a great book I am reading called "Screaming to be heard" by Elizabeth Vliet MD and it really goes into detail on how hormones affect every organ system.
Are you on Hormone replacement? I hope this helps, and I hope you get some answers.
Hi! I have low estrogen and normal FSH (I'm 38, though). My course of action is to wear an estrogen patch from 3 days after ovulation to 12 days after ovulation (since that's when mine is dropping off). I have heard of (and tried it once, but didn't like how I felt) that the patch can also be worn during CD8-12 to help with low estrogen. My acupuncturist told me that the patch is the most similar to actual estrogen (versus pills) so I pushed for that!
Your doctor probably has heard so many things, Bio identical hrt comes in many forms vaginal suppositorys or cremes, creme to apply to arm or leg, mists that you spray on,,I had wondered if patients sensitive to surgical tape and such would be sensitive to the patch, now I know !!! Once you find a product that works for you, you feel a little bit better each and every day.
d only been on the estrogen for a very short time before the blood was drawn. T4 is very long lasting and takes time to build in your blood, so I suspect your FT4 was already high before the patch. However, the patch might help to lower your levels now, but that won't happen immediately; it'll take time.
I'm in Sisters. Where did you live in OR?
Right now the annoying stiff feeling of the patch/insision is bothering me. About how long before it starts to feel more normal? I can't turn my head more than a few degrees either side right now. Iv also got that very annoying post op depression, but that had to be expected as my sister and mother both get super depressed for a few weeks after surgery.
Estrogen causes some of the glands in the breast tissue to swell .Birth control patch causes consistent release of estrogen which causes elevated estrogen levels throughout the body making the breasts become larger. If you are too concerned it will be best to discuss it with your gynecologist. I hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
Since then I have been on an estrogen patch and felt great for the first couple of months after the procedure. I began to experience low back pain; particularly in the morning. So severe at times that I can hardly bend to put on my shoes. I did gain 20lbs but I am still active at 46 years old. Is it possible to have a prolaspe bladder as I feel that there is something coming out of me. Also, when I have sneezed or coughed, I feel a ripping in my abdomin but does not hurt.
