I started premarin about 6 years ago. I
take .9 mg per day. I have noticed some
strange symptoms within the past year and
I am starting to worry about the side
effects. I am wondering if anyone else
has had these symptoms. I have pain in
my left shoulder blade - which I think is
muscular - but it is causing numbness in
my left hand and both feet. My ears ring
in the evening after I eat and I have
heart palpations within an hour or so
after eating in the evening. I have
recently been diagnosed with
diverticulitis and ibs.....I am only 38
years old. I have tried to come off of
the premarin several times, but the hot
flashes are unbearable as I live in south
florida. I recently had a bone density
test and it determined that I was at risk
for osteoporosis with a heel bmd t-score
of -1.0. Unfortunately I do not have
healthcare and I am reluctant to go to the
doctor. My mother died of breast cancer
in her 50's and I have had two benign
cycts removed from my left breast that
were apparently the type of nodules with
cells that have been determined to turn
into breast cancer......I now feel a lump
in my right breast.......When I stop
taking the premarin, immediately I start
with the hot flashes, can't sleep, just
feel plain miserable. I tried black
cohosh and soy, but nothing on the market
seems to help............Any advice or
suggestions would be greatly apreciated
and welcomed.
