@ susan re progesterone doc

[Guest guest]

He is a new hormone doc just starting a practice in Warner Robins -- is taking

charge of thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, Dhea. Apparently I have plenty of

aldosterone (man hair on face), just losing thyroid hair everywhere else.

He corrects as we go along, trying to achieve balance. Gives me IV nutrition

(Myers) b/c not absorbing nutrition (candida leaky gut), trying to get rid of

candida and support adrenals, while adjusting hormones. Add this, cut back on

that, see what happens next month...am a treatment conundrum. He's on it, tho,

very knowledgeable.

All bio-id hormone creams except Estrace/(estradiol is the bio-id), said that

was okay ( & lots cheaper than compounded). Hates synthetics everything, says

bad (unless some reason like mary's pork). Goes by symptoms, tests at first to

diagnose. Wanted badly to test amino acids for nutrition and neurotransmitters

for brain action on hormones, but Medicare/Insurance not pay, and we not afford,

too bad could not have! So he's doing best he can w/o that info.

Don't get to see him as much as like, but practice already almost full, and

barely got office decorated~ see every 4 to 6 weeks, weekly see nurse for Myers.

We need more of these integrative docs that " get it " !! I'm hanging in there

while he works on me. Vicki K

Prometrium is bio-identical progesterone in a capsule with peanut oil.

The issue is not synthetic or natural, but bio-identical or not. Premarin is bio-identical estrogen for horses, but not for humans. It is actually also altered to be more persistent in your system. Not good.

Compounded bio-identical hormones can be made up into any form: capsules, creams, gels, pills, troches, drops.
