Re: PCOS and AutoImmune Thyroiditis

[Guest guest]

I have both PCOS and Hashimotos... and Fibromyalgia... With one auto immune disorder can easily come more. Talk to yuor aunt and cousin about using wild yam pills. I seemed to have reversed most of the side effects with taking 6-8 wild yam pills a day... it's alot of pills but worth it. PCOS sucks....

Also I don't know if the PCOS stopped their periods... mine was gone for a year. No doc could figure out how to fix it. Within 3 months of taking the wild yam I got my period back and have had it ever since.

Also eating Yam supposedly has the same effect... you just have to eat ALOT of yams! Lol!

I am being treated with metformin for PCOS, it seems to be helping. I

am not gonna try hormones for now.

Stay away from the hormones as long as you can if your case isn't that serious... I was put on them and had a psychotic episode. No joke... Messed up stuff. Metaformin has been suggested but I think I'm doing ok for now. Pregnancy isn't an issue for me, meaning that as long as I am healthy I don't feel the need to protect my fertility.

I am trying to conceive, but I do get my periods and according to my

tests, I am probably ovulating without the Metformin. My main issue

to take the Met was that with testosterone 11x normal, I was pretty

sure to miscarry if I conceived (the progesterone has to be in

balance not only with the estrogen but also with the testosterone to

sustain the pregnancy). Add that to the Hashi's risk of miscarriage

and it was not a good prospect.

I prefer to stay on the Metformin and the Prednisone (I am taking

that to suppress the testosterone in the adrenal glands) than to go

on hormones, they would be my last resort. They'd mess up my thyroid

all over again, for starters. And when I was on the pill, I spent one

year after and the 4 months while I took it having endless varicose

vein treatments and with lots of leg pain. No, thanks. Besides, the

Metformin and the Prednisone treat the sources of problems, and the

hormones just treat the symptoms - I always prefer to treat the

source.
