Reasons For Not Producing Estrogen Posted: 01-12-04 02:31am


I'm a mid-twenties female, and while I was in college, I developed what doctors finally diagnosed as fibromyalgia. Because the symptoms were coupled with type I diabetes, the pain I experienced was severely debilitating, and my mobility was impaired for several months. Needless to say, a lot of tests were run, and one of them showed I no longer produced any estrogen. I had an mri for a possible pituitary tumor, which turned up negative. I started taking birth control pills so that my bone density wouldn't suffer -- and the pain went virtually away. </p> </p>it's been several years since this happened, and I was at first so grateful that I could go back to life without such pain that I didn't think too clearly about it. But now I want to know why i'm not producing estrogen anymore. Other than diabetes, I don't have other medical conditions. I'm about 20 pounds "overweight" (i. E., the ideal in the doctor's office), but I exercise 4-6 times/week, and my blood pressure is fine -- my gp doesn't seem to think i'm unhealthy.</p> </p>i'd be really grateful for any information people could point me to about young women who stop producing estrogen, or other hormones -- even a place to start.</p> good health to all
