Histamine & Perimenopause: What to Know!

[@shannasemel4805]

I am 43. Peri with hasimotos on meds. Last few mths hit with alot of symps including itching. Tried progesterone twice. Once vaginally and then topical and had anxiety and shortness of breath sensation both times. Did not even use the full dose bc I'm sensitive to meds usually so I puncture and squeezed out some of the dose. Very frustrating since I can't start estrogen I'd I can't tolerate PG since I have my uterus still. Any thoughts?

@@shannasemel4805 was this a topical cream you bought over the counter or RX via a compounded pharmacy? And you were not able to use oral micronized progesterone? I know some women have progesterone resistance. But if you’re not using a compounded formula (via a compounded pharmacy) I would try that (a doctor/NP has to prescribe of course). Less inactive ingredients.

@@claudiapetrillihealthcoach8545 I used the prometrium and punctured the cap since it's an oil liquid. Attempted it vaginally after squeezing out half the drops that are in the capsule and one time actually just used one drop transdermally and had the same reaction both times but obviously less severe would just using the one drop
