Progesterone (Progest e or the health natural brand) helps me tremendously with sleep, anxiety, mood and PMS but the diuretic effects are so extreme that I have to stop using it. It makes my skin so dry that it literally peels in multiple places. It then gets red, irritated and itchy and dermatitis results. My urine turns dark brown, and I feel like I have a UTI. My gums get irritated and swell like I have gingivitis or something.
I've tried high and low doses, oral and transdermal, multiple doses over the day and single doses at night. I've tried taking breaks and restarting. Same effect every time. It's definitely the progesterone. I want to keep using it so badly as it seriously helps me feel like a human again but I can't bear the side effects. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm lost.
