I had the same thing but that was before I started thyroid meds. I found that

progesterone cream and VitE helped a lot

PMS gone 2 months on thyroid meds, back 2

months?

Hi Ladies!

The first 2 months on thyroid meds PMS breast pain went away! Now

it's back 2 months. HELP! It went completely away and now it's back

just as painful. I'm talking about SEVERE breast pain.

Hi . Severe breast pain is usually due to estrogen dominance. If

that's the case, you can be helped with a small amount of

progesterone cream rubbed right on the breasts daily. Also, if you

have estrogen dominance, it can bind some of your thyroid hormones.

Hi ,

I'm new here. I have a little experience with progesterone to share. The

good news is you can't OD on progesterone cream. If you take too much,

you get sleepy and that's about it. The reason that's good news is if

your doctor won't test you, you can safely do your own " clinical trial "

of progesterone cream. Just start using 1/4 teaspoon of it at bedtime

from the 14th to the 26th day of your cycle (where day one is the first

day of your period) and see if it helps. Sometimes it takes a few months

to see results, though I personally got relief in just two weeks.

A very informative book on this subject is What Your Doctor May Not Tell

You About Menopause by R. Lee MD. The title is somewhat

misleading--there's useful information for any woman over 35 or so. He

even discusses the connection between estrogen dominance (progesterone

deficiency) and hypothyroidism. Very interesting stuff.

Sounds like you need an increase in your Armour, to me. Estrogen Dominance

Syndrome causes this, IMHO. I do the progesterone cream, but make sure it

is u.s.p, as in reprocessed in the lab to exactly match our own natural

progesterone and able to be absorbed through the skin. I do the Sarati that

I got from www.heranswer.com, (appropriately named, I might say!).
