Hello, ... ... Not sure about a plastic smell, but if you are beginning a program, with probiotics and whatever else, you may be killing something off, old rank bacteria hopefully, which can change the odor of stool. I think any time you disrupt the environment of a pathogen/parasite and they start dying, the odor of your stool can change. Drink lots of pure water and keep the bowels moving to get that stuff out. Good Luck :) [End]

another thing to mention is copper can store up in the system... depending on your metabolic type from what i have read... ur diet can play a role too. so maybe good idea is to have enough vitamin c (standard 1000mcg or mg a day) after ur done with lipoic to prevent copper from building up again. u will have to limit ur bad sugar and use honey or stevia instead, because bad sugar eats away vitamin c. c detoxifies copper. so far so good for me for 6 months already :D thank God.

Re: hormone help pls!!1 this makes no sense by Iolite 32 mon 1,462

With hypothyroid, sometimes adrenal fatigue is a factor too. With adrenal fatigue, especially in the early stages, in an attempt to compensate for a faltering thyroid, the adrenal glands increase production of cortisol and dhea rises. Dhea is the building block for estrogen and testosterone. The adrenals also produce pregnenolone. If you have cystic ovaries, isn’t that going to cause an over production of hormones too? Wacked-out thyroid and stressed adrenals is going to cause your sex hormones to be wacked out too. Once you get your thyroid supported, (check out http://www.stoptheth ... [retrieve this message]

Morning cortisol should be at the TOP of the range. A 24-hr saliva test will give you a better picture of your adrenal fatigue. Think of a hill that slopes gently down to the bottom. That’s what your cortisol should do. It should be at the top of the range first thing in the morning and near the top at around noon and lower in the early evening and at the bottom at midnight. Are you taking ANY adrenal supporting herbs like licorice? How about isocort? In the end, it may not be enough, you’ll probably need some rx strength hydrocortison.

Re: Has anyone tried regular exercise to help symptoms? by hohohormone 4 year 2,762

Definitely exercise! My regular yoga practice was the only thing that kept me hanging on in my last few years with the Mirena. Kundalini yoga is supposed to be good for regulating glands-- obviously appropriate for us. If you can’t get to a class, there are good dvds and books. I do hatha flow too. [End]

Re: Has anyone tried regular exercise to help symptoms? by dragnfly2 4 year 2,797

since my removal, exercise has been a must!!! i feel soooo much better physically. when i first got mirena removed i also took 10 minute walks to clear my mind. i still take walks if i am grumpy or upset. then i feel better. i have figured out if i dont exercise i get facial hair and my pms is worse. the more i exercise the less pms symptoms i have. i definitely agree with your theory that exercise may help regulate your periods.

Re: Has anyone tried regular exercise to help symptoms? by karita 4 year 2,817

I agree that exercise can definitely help overall, but have any of you experienced shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat after normal activities? Normally I ride my mountain bike straight uphill for 45 minutes twice a week. It gets my heart working at a rate that I have always been able to handle. Since the Mirena has been out (2 1/2 mos) I’ve been afraid to test my heart at this level because of the above and also heart palps that I was having last week before ovulation. [End]

Re: Has anyone tried regular exercise to help symptoms? by dv12 4 year 2,938

I just got my heart checked by the doctor, I would recommend it. I was getting shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat, but my heart checked out fine. They did an EKG and a sonogram to check and see how my heart was doing and how it was pumping. They also did a stress test, where I walked briskly on a tredmill for 5 minutes or so while they mesured my oxygen flow and heart beats. ... ... Since everything is going well, and it’s been so dry here, the doc is assuming my shortness of breath is from excercise induced asthma, which I used to have as a child.

Yaz Warning, It might not be for you..

by #82194 4 year 3,603 Birth Control / Women’s Fo / PCOS

I am not even through one pack, and I have already had a pretty awful experience with Yaz. I started taking Yaz to regulate my periods and get my insides in line due to PCOS, but unfortunately, I’ve been bleeding for 8 days after about a week and 1/2 on the active pills, the first couple days of which had very painful PMS symptoms. I have started to get acne on my face, chest, and back, which I never had before. I have gained 8lbs. in less than a month. The worst side effect, though, is my major mood swings and horrible depression. I should point out that I do take a depression medication, ... [retrieve this message]

Panic attacks...

Hey everyone, I’m 20 and I got Mirena last October. I had had 2 panic attacks before I got it, both caused by alcohol or marijuana. I was informed of Mirena because I have PCOS and Mirena apparently can help that. The only side effects I was told about were cramping afterwards. I was laid up for 2 weeks, such intense pain that I could barely move.

Re: Panic attacks... by nile 5 year 3,117

I had bad panic attacks right before I had my mirena removed, which always coincided with my cycles. It’s been 7 1/2 months since my removal, and I am not fully recovered, but I am much better than when I had the mirena in. I gave up caffeine completely, and that helped a lot. I also find that limiting alcohol helps. I am on atenolol and zoloft for the anxiety, and they have really pulled me thru. I wouldn’t say that it gets worse after removal, but that it gets worse the longer you have it in. The sooner you have it removed, the sooner you will start feeling better. Good luck! [End]

Re: Panic attacks... by andyeah 5 year 2,856

I still don’t have a cycle, and the panic attacks are constant. I’m off caffeine and I’m scared of alcohol and drugs so that’s not a problem, haha. I’m also on Zoloft and it’s been helpful. I have Ativan for when it gets horrible. Thank you so much, I’m going to see a doctor tomorrow to talk about it. Did it hurt you a lot to get it in? And did it hurt to have it removed? [End]

Re: Panic attacks... by nile 5 year 2,903

It hurt a lot to get it in, but it was a breeze to get it out. It hurt less than a pap smear! They just give a little tug and it pops right out. I think that’s the consensus from reading posts on here, unless there is some kind of complication. Also, if you read back on this site, chances are your doctor will not believe that Mirena could possibly have anything to do with your symptoms. What I have done is print out posts from a bunch of women on this site that have the same symptoms as me. You can just do a search on panic attack and you’ll find a bunch.
