Recently I was diagnosed with low adrenal hormone and low progesterone in comparison to estrogen function with saliva test. I believe it is mostly from Candida infection I had but I had such fatigue once in the past too. I had adrenal granular supplement for 10 days and natural progesterone for a month but only 50 mg because of drowsiness. It didn’t help for hot flashes I have. I have noticed that intake of any supplements like stimulants or hormones cause problems to me. I had severe fatigue after birth of my son with help of Oxiticin. I was never able to take a pill for birth control without nausea.

Severe acid reflux started after one progesterone birth control shot and following small haital hernia 5 years ago. I had severe hot flashes and sweats. Have already inflammation in esophagus and probably ulcers and may need operation for that. Now I am 52 and I am afraid I will have more hot flashes and more reflux and other problems like adonomyosis. I don’t have sweats now but I can put even light cover now and feel cold at night in the winter. My doctors don't know what the problem is now. No one doctor can explain me that and I asked dozens of them. I still have menstruations and sometimes heavy or long though I skip it once after progesterone pills.
If I have hot flashes from low estrogen why I have more flashes from phytoestrogens? I am intolerant to soy so it is not an option for me.I also wonder if there is other way to reduce hot flashes and reflux because I am so sensitive to hormones.

Thank you,

Lisa
