It sounds like you have been/are on a roller coaster. I haven’t even had surgery yet and from what everyone is saying it sounds like the medication is the worst part. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. Take care!

The way I see it, if we need to take medicine, we need to take it. But if everything affects how much or how little hormones your body produces, it is hard to figure out how to figure out a dosage for
medication. The body mechanics would be a changing system and the medication is a constant. It is helpful if you keep a symptom diary with the medication and dose. I have been told that most people start medications and don’t have any concerns adjusting to it. But, if you start to notice issues and don’t feel right, you should consider the medication and dose first. It should be noted, I have had a history of side effects for medications….. no real allergies just not tolerant to medications; so issues might just be related to that. My father, Aunts and Grandmother had issue with several medications so it could just be some type of an intolerance. The doctors told me that most people do fine on medication so don’t worry. Good luck!
