Thanks for the thread and all the responses. I find this most helpful to read as when I’m in my BP denial phase I always gravitate to thinking all I’ve gone through this year is hormones. The rational me is pretty sure it’s not hormones but they can certainly affect things as stated. I asked my pdoc and she’s pretty sure it’s BP2 and if left untreated I’d only wind up back in her office in a worse state. All I know right now is I think the Med she prescribed is helping regardless of diagnosis.
