Guest guest Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 For those that have had hysterectomies (like me) who had one 6 years ago is when my health deteriorated. I have had symptoms of hypo for a long time but every thyroid test came back fine. I assumed everything was related to low estrogen, weight gain, muscle/joint pain, heart palpatations, weakness, stomach and digestive issues, blurry vision, MAJOR anxiety and panic attacks, exercise intolerance, bad dizziness and lightheaded, lack of energy and constantly feeling tired. If you look at low estrogen it has all those symptoms, and if you look at thyroid, they have the same symptoms as well. Assuming that docs say thyroid is fine, than my assumption was, it has to be estrogen!! I am on estrogen and testosterone pellets, but having a hard time maintaining my estrogen levels. The doc tested my adrenals and thinks my anxiety was from high cortisol. I am low in the morning and high in the afternoon, evening, and night. She put me in cordef to take in the AM, but I had a hard time sleeping so I went off of it. (dont know if that was it or not) At first I was afraid to take it because I thought it would give me more anxiety than what I am already experiencing. So, if on estrogen does that help the thyroid or make it better? And how do you know if its the thyroid or the lackof estrogen causing the problems, or both?
