Hey All,

So my wife started on 100mg progesterone and 0.025 estradiol using the Vivelle-Dot in mid March.

Before all this she had all the classic symptoms that’s talked about in this subreddit. We used Midihealth and I was able to get her an appt.

Anyway, within days she completely 180 and was lighter and happier and with me. Soon I had to get a refill but they (Safeway) were out of stock. So I got it switched to Walgreens which used Sandoz for their estradiol patch.

Didn’t think much of it but in this last month her symptoms and moods have shifted back slowly. I initially wondered if it was the dosage but that would be so drastic. Now I’ve read about the manufacturer being a big shift.

Anyone have this experience? I need to call the first pharmacy again to see if they have any more Vivelle-Dot. From what I read, Sandoz is like a generic version of the same formula.

EDIT: I looked at photos I took and realized my wife did really well on Mylan. She is currently using Sandoz but it’s not effective it seems.

Well today’s the one year anniversary of my mom and I last time we were able to talk since she went into a coma the next day and passed away a week after. I initially didn’t think today would matter but as we get closer to the anniversaries, I’m noticing all the little details a little more.

I don’t know who in life to be able to talk about this with so I just thought I’d write about it here. It was a weird last day because I had a few brothers who I normally would split time in the hospital with to spend time with her throughout the day, but on that particular day, I was the only one able to make it. I spent a large chunk of the day with her and had to leave since I had to get ready for the work week. She called me a couple times on her phone and left messages wondering where I was, and I haven’t listened to them since but still have them on my phone. I know there wasn’t much I can do in hindsight but it still bums me out that I wasn’t there longer. We had no idea and the coma came out of no where. (Blood sugar dropped overnight drastically)

Anyway, a week from tomorrow will be her death anniversary as well. It was a terrible last week as we had to cut life support and the time waiting. I guess I’m just writing this to be able to write it out as I see a lot of people here do as well. Weird and sad times.

Can you play Cyberpunk if you have it via gamepass ultimate? I tried but don’t see the option and I have the GeForce highest tier as well.

I have the PS5 Pro version as well but just realized this would look even better!
