Hello members,
I have had a few messages from members asking questions about my health and why am I stopping herbs and why this and why that, so I thought tell the world, not that some of you may not be interested but here goes.
Over the months I was getting some bad side effects from herbs so I tried HRT and again some bad side efects, this all came to a head in February 20 when I was diagnosed with bells palsy which is a serious facial paralysis it is graded 1 - 4, I had grade 4 the most serious.
After steroids and other meds and MRI things have started to improve, October just gone i was assessed again and it is now at grade 3, the best it will get to is grade 2, I will never due to my age get any better than 2.
Ok moving on, I was also having scrotal pain and the doctors were concerned because my bloods were up and down, my T was virually non existant, then things took a turn for the worse I was crippled with pain, my testicles was throbbing, after various tests it was discovered that even though I had stopped PM I was still taking Red R, my T levels was down to near zero (bit more to it than this but wont bore you)
Again tests discovered I have what is called VARICOCELE which basically means vericose veins accross both testicles, this also causes testosterone issues, add that to the REd R it was causing massive issues.
At my age of nearly 69 (January 2024) there is no cure, and that is not good because it also effects other things like mood swings and eratic behaviour in men who have this problem, it is very simular to a male menopause.
So that is me, hence not taking herbs anymore and just sticking to HRT because my T is low enough.
Thanks to the members who have been in contact, hope this explain my problems and to Jennifer thanks sorry I did not keep in touch.
Take care all
Yours with love
Liz
