Fibrocystic Breast Tissue
Does anyone else suffer from fibrocystic breast tissue? This just started for me in January 2015. I had been on Depo Provera to manage endometriosis symptoms for nearly 10 years, switched to a pill, then back to Depo, then, I think I got on the Skyla IUD around Oct 2014? Something like that - I can't quite remember. I am not sure if age has something to do with it but I am 35.
I started to get cysts in my underarms, and in my breasts - I thought that they were lumps and panicked - had all checked out and they're just cysts. I've stopped drinking caffeinated drinks, and I take 1k mg of primrose oil 2x day. All of this has helped me a lot! The cysts stay pretty calm and I no longer wake up in awful pain. Since then, I've found that my breasts swell a bit once in a while - visually noticeable to only me and just enough to make my bras feel tight. ugh.
If this has happened to you, did it ever go away? Did your body heal itself? Did your breast tissue change otherwise?

knorfka thanks! I just hope that someday I will be able to drink coffee again - I love the taste!
