Dear Madam
I think my message to you is my last hope and a sign of despair, powerlessness and sadness.
I am a 26 year old woman and I have been battling painful and heavy periods and fainting since I was 14. When I was 15, I gave up and agreed to take the pill. I felt really bad on the pill so I have taken breaks from it more often since then and only went back on the pill when my periods ended with fainting again. I also tried several pills at that time, but still could not find the right one. Gave birth to a premature miracle in 2020. After 6 months I fainted again from the pain so I was put back on the pill. I took another break in July 2022 and in September 2022 things really went wrong. Hair loss, acne, mood swings, hot then cold sweats, anxiety, depression and you name it all. Then to the doctor. My hormones aren't right. Testosterone, androstedione, DHEAS were too high 610, scan my head and abdomen clean so they put me back on the pill. My appearance complaints such as acne and hair loss stopped. Got migraines again from the pill. Very bad migraines. I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days, feeling unwell, unconscious... so I was advised to stop taking the pill. Hair loss. Received Utrogestan for a few days. Again the complaints from last year and again the advice to go back on the pill.. I try all kinds of supplements, inositol, ashwagandha, reishi mint tea, etc. Androcur got a nosebleed every day, so I stopped after 4 months. I am helpless and hopeless.. from one doctor I hear a diagnosis of PCOS from another that that is not possible and that it is my adrenal glands that are working too hard or that it is androgenization, that I am too sensitive to male hormones etc etc all these years unable to find help and diagnosis. I was wondering if you could do something for me? I have already outsourced a lot of money for all types of help, bioresonance, leeches, coaching, etc., but nothing helps... I have low ferritin and low b9. Iwould just like to throw away that shitty pill after so many years and never need it again because it doesn't help with hair loss and Hirsutism. Do you think you can help me?
Please help me.
