Dr. Diana,
Can you explain what you did/or took to stop your periods? My dr. tried Yasmin with the hopes of doing it for several months without break (skipping the week of sugar pills), but I all did was bleed non stop from the time I started it for 3 weeks. That was NOT helpful at all.

My doctor is considering having me do 10 mg of prednisone a day to help stabilize my adrenals, but that won’t stop those whacky female hormones and periods, will it? My symptoms are SO MUCH WORSE the day before through the second day of my period. It is a for sure spend at least a day in bed if not two days!

Thanks so much for your help!

Everybody is so different, but my doctor put me on a low dose estrogen pill and that did the trick. Pretty much. Ha. I had a tiny bit of break-through bleeding on some days, but otherwise, it was GREAT. I hope that helps, Hon!
