Re: When should I test my thyroid panel?

And worse - they keep pumping the same people they refuse to give

thyroid drugs to full of diet pills and antidepressants, which can all

have worse side effects than the possible osteoporosis. But don't worry,

when you have side effects, there will be more pills they can give you

for that!

LOL She explained her stupid theory of how my fat was mimicking the

symptoms of PCOS and weight loss was gonna cure it, but she was stumped

when I asked her why I had so much estrogen.

Her theory is: the estrogen reaches my body fat, and is converted into

testosterone. That is ok, it does happen to people. The opposite happens

to men who develop gynecomastia (breasts). I researched and found that

is the usual explanation to women with estrogen on the low side of

normal and testosterone a tiny bit over normal, or on the high end of

normal, complaining of excess body hair and acne. But my testosterone

was 11x higher than normal and my estrogen was normal. So no matter how

you look at it, even if you believe my ovaries and adrenals are not

making extra testosterone, they have to be making extra estrogen, cause

I still have 12x the normal amount of both hormones together. So if I

got stick thin to stop the conversion, the best that could happen would

be normal testosterone, and 11x normal estrogen (I'd call that " estrogen

dominance from hell " haha). Duh.

Good idea that, appealing to the ego.

I'll give it a go, but I'm usually too reticent to openly kiss the

doctor's 4ss .

But the doctors get great little prizes from the labs. I have a friend

who is a medical rep and they even give state of the art notebook

computers to their top prescribers in the end of the year. So it is all

good. If they gave the patients Armour or even Synthroid, it would still

just be one medication so no prizes for the doctors.
