Hi
I didn't get any replies to my last post but I have another query!
I am in the second month of zoladex (had second jab on 12th Jan and next one is 9th Feb).
After the initial bloating and weight gain, I reduced the oestrogen gel to 0.5 sachet and things settled down. In fact I had a couple of weeks where I felt better than I had in years.
Then a week ago, my back 'went' and I had a few days in bed taking codeine and ibuprofen.
Since Saturday, I have felt just awful. Every joint, bone, muscle hurts, I feel sick, I have an upset stomach and feel nauseous. Plus I have bloating and mild periody pains. I haven't been out of the house, I feel so unwell.
I don't know if this is the zoladex side effects, a need for more oestrogen or a reaction to talking codeine?
Can anyone shine any light on this and tell me if they experienced feeling rough in month 2 of GnRH injections and things got better?
I am feeling really desperate, in floods of tears as really thought things were on the way up with feeling a hint of who I used to be before this pms nightmare took hold.
My husband thinks I should go to the doctors but I just feel they don't understand and I get embarrassed trying to explain it all. I also worry that they think I am a hypochondriac which I know I am not as I just want to do what ever is needed to feel well including a hysterectomy if necessary.
I am just so gutted and upset that the most I seem to every get feeling good is a couple of weeks and that I am so stupid to think 'this is it' every time and start telling everyone I feel better!
