Almond I am so pleased that you have identified problem and are on the mend so to speak. Had a similar tale to yourself. I ended up in hospital with a medical team that thought I was either attention seeking or that I had appendicitis.
I managed to get out without surgery, and have been receiving treatement from a western herbalist. My daily tincture appears to have done the trick.
Our NHS service over in UK is a bit of a lottery!
Also trying natural progesterone is just a thought, as you are taking Chinese Bitters, (which I assume help the liver get rid off excess estrogens?) it maybe a help, my thought is that estrogen receptors may be less senstive to progesterone, again I maybe wrong, but I have just started with prog. cream myself.
