Hi there,

I am an (almost) 37 year old woman, one child, 4 miscarriages. I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome, have had my gall bladder removed 4 years ago, have harrington rods on my spine due to scoliosis (20 years ago) and am overweight.

Two years ago I began to experience an internal tremor sensation. It happens about once a month for a stretch of about 5 nights, usually strongest when laying down (though is detectable while upright/moving about) and seems to preceed my period by about a week. I had about a 4 month grace period last summer where it seemed to die away and I felt I had moved beyond whatever it was. I have been tested by so many spcialists and told so much junk about things ranging from restless leg syndrome to sleep apnea. No one seems to have a solid idea, though there are sure a lot of speculative diagnosticians who would like to think they do.

I discovered while researching myself that Progesterone deficiency could cause many of the symptoms I have, including the tremor. I have not been able to book a saliva swab with my doctor yet, but would like to know if what I have described could be relative to a progesterone deficiency?

My hormone levels came back ok last fall, even though my GYNO tried to convince me I am now peri-menopausal. She was rushing me out the door at the time, not a thorough examination or discussion so I do not give it much merit. She was ready to book me for partial hysterectomy based on a 5 minute talk.

Let me quickly list some of my ongoing symptoms to help if possible:


- hair loss - thinning, sparsity of thickness - loss of luster and thickness.
- facial hair growth on chin and neck, getting thicker and darker as I age.
- anxiety/panic disorder.
- night tremors, internal vibrating, pulsating from bottom of toes to back of neck/behind ears - all over.
- mood swings, extreme emotional imbalance during periods.


There are other symptoms but those are the major ones which lead me to investigate progesterone.

any tips?

Cheers,
Dee
