Re: Re: [NaturalThyroidHormones) Thank you ladies

Instead of using progesterone cream, doesn't just taking Armour correct any

imbalances with that? How about estrogen? Does Armour correct that deficiency

too?

Since I stopped taking my Estradiol a few months ago, I've been having terrible

day & night sweats or hot flashes. I hate them. So as of yesterday I'm back on

Estradiol again. But it will take a couple of weeks, no doubt, for it to start

eliminating the sweats/flashes.

I'm also terribly moody. Good thing I live alone or I would pity my partner.

Can't even stand my own company most days. LOL!!

Re: [NaturalThyroidHormones) Thank you

ladies

yes, you are right, I too believe they don't look out for our best interests,

only their own.

I am perimenopausal, and have found that as I have used the progesterone

cream, my night sweats, insomnia and moodiness have disappeared. I am hoping to

see my thyroid improving also. I have begun to look in to self dosing along with

the Rx my doctor has given me for Armour, since I don't think that 1.5 grains is

going to be sufficient to get me back on track. I haven't had any labs run for

about 6 months or more, so will have to get the T3 and T4 run, along with

several other ones that I have been making notes about.

I am so thankful for this group of ladies and the courage they have given

me...thank you!!!

Armour will HELP with Progesterone deficiency or Estrogen dominance, but it will

not replace estrogen. I am using an Estrogen gel and it (or the pills) will work

within ONE day! That is a fast acting hormone. You will know when you take too

much estrogen by the breast tenderness. I wouldn't think at your age you would

need estrogen every day. I only use the gel about 3 days a week to avoid

estrogen dominance and I use Progesterone cream the other days. Seems to be

working for me and I am 50 years old(soon!).

Ok, thanx. Then I don't need to take Estradiol pills everyday? I wouldn't know

how else to take them...how many days per week, that is. I'm not at all good

with putting creams on myself. I have some estrogren cream in fact & not using

it. Too much of a nuisance & I keep forgetting to do it. Rather take pills.

If it's so fast-acting, then maybe the hot flashes/sweats I'm having aren't

related to that? I started back on taking it yesterday & still have the sweats.

Oh well, we'll see how it goes I guess.

Oh... I used to have a bit of breast tenderness, aches, pains in that area when

I was on Estradiol before. But then I discovered evening primrose oil stops that

a lot. I ran out of it recently tho so prolly shld buy more.

Give it a couple days as you are probably depleted and it will need a few doses

to build up.

Rather than using the Evening Primrose Oil to relieve it, use it as a symptom of

too much estrogen and just cut back. Now that I am not using it every day, I am

not having any tenderness, but I really overdid it at first and OUCH! I couldn't

even sleep on my stomach! LOL Felt like I had a Zena chest! ....

Zena or Wonder Woman?? LOL!! Doubt that'll be my problem. Tee hee.

All right, thanx then. Then I'll just take the usual amount of Estradiol for a

few days & if I have the breast tenderness, I'll cut the pills in half or take

them every other day something.

TY,
