Serenity Cream and Breast Pain - An Update

June 21, 2010

Dear all,

A while ago I posted about my using Serenity and pain I have in my left breast -

well, I wrote to Serenity and they passed my concerns onto one of their medics.

They also asked me questions relating to my menopausal state and general health.

I told them I had had a thyroidectomy 7 years ago - had been taking LevoT and

now on NDT and doing generally well except for this pain. I got a reply back

from their Dr.C. I forwarded it onto Sheila, who suggested that I post his

reply on here for your observations / thoughts and comments, so here goes:_

Dear Mrs Kaczor,

Your info to Wellsprings was sent to me.

You had a ? total thyroidectomy and you were put on thyroid replacement. It

seemed that the l-thyroxine either didn't work or perhaps the dose was

insufficient replacement, because your weight went up.

However your weight and therefore thyroid replacement seem well balanced now. I

would be interested to see your lab results

You had breast pain before applying Serenity as well as during applying Serenity

indicating pre existing low progesterone-unopposed or dominant oestrogen. This

is common during the menopause and may cause painful breasts due to water

retention.

The initial low thyroid could cause water retention in the breasts also.

Serenity does not cause painful breasts from water retention--in fact it is used

to treat this condition. Are you applying exactly 1/8th teaspoon of Serenity

twice a day for 24 days and then none for 6 days, then twice a day for 24 and so

on?

It is best to use an 1/8 th tsp to get this dose accurately.

I note you are having a lot of trouble with hot flushes. The progesterone in

Serenity breaks down also into oestrogen which would raise your lowered level of

it causing this symptom to disappear. Sometimes the oestrogen level is so low

that it needs a temporary boost [for 2 months only] with oestrogen directly such

as oestradiol skin patches or applying oestriol vaginal cream [whilst still

applying the Serenity cream]. Wellsprings can supply you with red clover / black

cohosh capsules which can be taken as well

Play an oscillating electric fan on your body-especially at night, and if you

have a pool spend all day in it! Avoid hot/ caffeine/ alcohol drinks and

spices.

Hope this helps but do email me direct for queries or progress.

Yours sincerely,

Any comments would be well appreciated - Thanks in advance - Carol K in Thailand
