I just got my levels checked just because I knew they were off, and I have had problems since I have been 14 with that. And all the ordinary tests came back normal, and then he got my hormone levels and they were wack. I haven't started in like 5 months (which is fine with me) but i know its bad. SO he put me on hormones and then birth control to level my hormones out. I haven't noticed it do anything to the pain... as I just had a ketamine infusion yesterday and I feel like an energizer bunny. It not good to have your hormones out of wack... so its good to get it checked!
