Guest guest Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have not found proof of this but have to use my own experience here too. When I was 11 and started my menses they startyed and stayed VERY heavy and painful. I was diagnosed anemic several times through my teen years but my weight stayed good and energy VER high in spite of this. At 19 my thyroid crashed. I went form 98 pounds to 160 pounds in three months. I was put on Armoru and Iron and in 6 months was back to my old happy and energetic THIN self. For three years then that doc died and I went through Endo hell. They put me on Syncrap and never treated my low iron and at 27 I had ot have a complete Hyst., DO NOT FOLLOW IN MY SHOES> Proper treatment of ferritin and htyroid could have saved my female organs and prevented life long problems from that early recmoval. It is known now that hypothyroid causes endometriosis. If your sister is havign heavy periods PLEASE have a full thyroid blood labs done on her. Including FT3 and FT4 NOT just TSH. You have no idea how much I wish someone had done that for me, I might have been able to have children. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
