Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi, Debbie, Make sure you take care of yourself! Get to your doctor about this. I don't know how old you are. But are you familiar with estrogen dominance and progesterone? The progesterone might be a help to you. I can send you info, if you'd like. in Va. Hi ya'll, I've been off a couple of months. Been busy with travel, putting up vegetables etc. This forum is sooooo busy. The prompt to get me on today is I've discovered a lump in my breast, about the size of a large grape. I don't think it's a cyst b/c it is really deep. I am wondering if there is a propensity toward this with thyroid issues. BTW, I am not on my optimum dose. I talked the docs into an increase, but the TSH went down to almost nothing and they have decreased my meds. I am doing my best to get to another doc. Blessings, Debbie K.

My husband has come around pretty quickly on this...even though I have an Rx...he told me to order some extra to make sure I never had a problem with running out. I musta been something during those coma-like hypo months. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually a bit sore...and didn't move around. I've had some other cysts too...when I was hypo...I think the hypo makes us more prone to them.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi, Debbie, I hope you can get an earlier appt. I just sent you a few things. Dr. Lee's book is excellent. Estrogen can cause growth of tissue and progesterone can halt it. I know I'm not explaining it correctly. But I believe Dr. Lee explains it in that book. in Va. ----- No I did not know that estrogen dominance can have anything to do with breast lumps. I guess I may have read that somewhere, but wasn't concerned about that then. Makes me glad I've been using the progesterone cream. I will get my " What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause " book down and look it up. If you have any info that is not in the WYDMNTYAM book, I'd be interested in reading it. I am calling my doc tomorrow. I meant to call today, but it was a bad morning. I have a regular annual checkup the end of Aug, but maybe they will work me in earlier. Blessings, Debbie K.
