Hi so a couple years ago I switched from a non hormonal iud to a hormonal one and started having so many issues. I kept going to different gynos (at the same practice) and they just dismissed me because my hormone test came back fine. I didn't have any of these issues before I had switched - Literally on the 14th of every month I would get a yeast infection right before my period, my mental health would take a dive and my suicidal ideations would come up (I suffer from this but take lithium so I don't have them,) I became very irritable and easily angered, I would get a cyst on my eye in the SAME spot every month, and I started getting cystic acne.
I switched to a different practice all together and they took out the hormonal iud right away but it had been over a year at this point. I thought that would be the end of my issues but of course it's not that easy. I am still getting cystic acne, irritability and today I started my period and woke up with oral mucocele which is like a cyst in the mouth which I have never had and now it's the end of the day and it is already 90% gone like wtf. I also seem to now be having hyperandrogenism causing unwanted hair at the top of my cheeks near my eye. Not really easily visible thank God but not too fond of it either.
The last gynecologist I saw told me it was all coincidental which I think is complete bs so I will try to see someone else. It's been over 2 years in total that I have been having some type of issue that seems to be related to hormones and I feel like I'm just doomed at this point. The endocrinologist said that they don't deal with this kind of stuff. I have state funded insurance and need a referral by my PCP to go somewhere else - I was trying to see an Integrative medicine specialist but my PCP didn't approve that.
Has anyone else gone through anything similar?? How do I go about finding resolve for something like this?
