Re: Weight gain, hormones and Chiari

[Guest guest]

Hi Ann and all,

Wow, I didn't know of that connection. I did know that Chiari can

cause some hormone problems. Mine are that I don't make any melatonin,

hardly any testosterone, and very little progesterone.

I'm now on bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. I also have

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an Autoimmune disorder, so I have to take bio-

identical T3. I used to take Synthroid but it didn't help at all.

One thing I wanted to mention to anyone who has thyroid issues is that

if you have ankle/feet swelling, that can be caused by your thyroid. I

didn't know that. But since I switched to a doctor who prescribes T3 I

don't have much trouble with that at all anymore.

Thanks for posting that Ann!

Take care,

Suzette
