Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi all, Went to my doc's appt today. As my Vitamin D levels have been quite low over time, my doc immediately wrote out a request for a bone density scan. Has anyone else out there had a bone density scan done? I didn't even think of asking for one. It was my doc who recommended it. My oestrogen and progesterone tests came back - seems things are quite out of whack. My oestrogen levels are way too high (in one case 4x too high) + the oestrogen/progesterone ratio is out of whack too. Doc thinks that this all could be contributing to my memory problems. The doc has prescribed natural progesterone cream & DHEA. Does anyone know of a good website that covers info about high oestrogen levels and the use of natural progesterone cream? Doc wants me to stay on thyroxine for now, but they are adding a small amount of 'bio-identical' T3 (quite small amount, given my previous experience) to try and increase the low levels of T3 and very high levels of Reverse T3. I cannot have T3 on its own as I've tried this before and my body cannot tolerate it. I hold my breath while I wait to see whether this new method of taking my thyroid meds helps in any way. Not too sure what I think about staying on thyroxine because I've felt so bad on it for so long, but I've got nothing to lose. Can't feel much worse than I do right now. Hopefully the addition of a low amount of T3 does some good. I'll wait and see! P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else out there had a bone density scan done? I didn't even think of asking for one. It was my doc who recommended it. I have had two bone scans, but only because my endocrinologist wanted to be sure that me taking Armour was not having a bad effect on my bones. Both resulted in showing that my bones are stronger than ever. Armour has calcitonin, so perhaps that is the reasonMy oestrogen and progesterone tests came back - seems things are quite out of whack. My oestrogen levels are way too high (in one case 4x too high) + the oestrogen/progesterone ratio is out of whack too. Doc thinks that this all could be contributing to my memory problems. Many sufferers of hypot have an inbalance of oestrogen/progesterone. You should get some natural progesterone cream to balance these out. I think what is contributing to your memory loss is a lack of T3.The doc has prescribed natural progesterone cream & DHEA. Good doctor!Does anyone know of a good website that covers info about high oestrogen levels and the use of natural progesterone cream? 'Try typing high oestrogen low progesterone' into google. Problem is that many websites on these subjects are selling progesterone cream and are therefore probably biased. Not time right now, but will try to look for something tomorrow.Doc wants me to stay on thyroxine for now, but they are adding a small amount of 'bio-identical' T3 (quite small amount, given my previous experience) to try and increase the low levels of T3 and very high levels of Reverse T3. If you have high Reverse T3, your doctor should be STOPPING your L-thyroxine (T4) altogether. I cannot have T3 on its own as I've tried this before and my body cannot tolerate it.

It could be the fillers that are affecting you? Luv - sheila P No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG.
