A member asked:

Can low estrogen or progesterone make you sick? nauseated, sweaty, diarrhea, sleep problems, achy joints, shortness of breath. happens 1 month x1week

Not usually: Have your md check your thyroid (TSH) and your fasting blood sugar (FBS) for diabetes testing. Usually low hormone levels do not cause those symptoms.
