I’m having a weird experience using topical estrogen and I’m looking to know if others are having the same issue.
I was prescribed vaginal estrogen and gel estrogen to put on my arms.
I was told that vaginal estrogen did not have a systemic effect which doesn’t seem to be to case for me. whenever I use it I feel a bit better and some pelvic floor issues seems to improve too.
whenever I use both cream and gel together as prescribed, I get very anxious, I have difficulty sleeping and once I manage to sleep my dreams are frightening.
whenever I use only the gel I feel a bit better but it doesn’t really address the pelvic floor issues.
overall I feel like the cream is enough.. but my doctor tells me that I really need both..
I had bad luck with oral hormones… so I’m a bit uncomfortable using too many… they used to slowly push me into severe depression and anxiety. I really don’t want to fall back into that.
so if anyone has any input I’d be happy to know.
