Re: Talking to doctor soon

[Guest guest]

Well my personal opinion is I wil never let ANY doctor ever again keep

or make my unhealthy. We have sources for everything except

testosterone as it si a controlled substance. Labs are available to us

to monitor what we cannto by symptoms.

Hi Val and Nick,

Next week I have to talk to my functional

medicine doctor

about increasing my bio-identical estrogen as I have had to use more

than the

RX is for to alleviate night sweats and other menopausal symptoms. I

have been

avoiding this conversation because while he requested my RT3 test he

also

looked at it and said all was well “No ’s syndrome”

with a ratio that Val said was 12. I have been self-treating for 13

weeks. Also

my TSH was 13.5 in February because I was on Iodoral by prescription

after

taking an Iodine Loading test and showing a deficiency. I am now on

week 13 of

T3 only and increasing Cynomel incrementally (now back at 81.25) until

I don’t

feel hypo anymore and my temps are normal. I can’t afford a total blood

panel at the moment and I am just wondering if it would be advisable to

just

forego the extra estrogen for awhile until everything is optimal? I

feel like

my hormones might balance themselves better once my thyroid hormones

are

optimal and my feeling is my doctor, while better than average, is

still in the

dark when it comes to T3, Iodine and also BHT. I guess I am afraid that

he will

quit treating me when or if he finds out I am self treating with T3 and

then I

will lose my bio-identical prescription. I know this is not strictly

about RT3 but

if possible I would appreciate some advice.

Thanks so much,

Kris

P.S. Val thanks for the recommendation on places

to get

mercury thermometers. www.Horse.com was great to deal with and their

service

was impeccable.

I am totally in agreement with you Val and unfortunately I don't trust my doctor

to do what is right anymore. He is my source of Bio-identical estrogen as well

as testosterone, progesterone and a estriol vaginal cream. Are there sources for

most of these Bio-identicals(I understand not testosterone) or are there

products other menopausal women have used with a great deal of success? If the

source for hormones needs to remain anonymous would you send it to me privately?

Kris -- I'd love to know these sources as well, as I'm suffering horribly with

Hashimotos and menopause. Taking a pill called Estratest, but the ratio is

causing acne on my 50+ skin, with no help w/hot flashes... My TSH has been 84

and 144 -- YES, no decimal point!!!-- during two blood tests this past year, and

my one " normal " of 4 still with low T4... No, doc won't test Frees or RT3...but

after 15+ years with this disease I know something is wrong withall the fatigue,

constipation, hair loss, etc. WHERE do I get my own Cynomel, estrogen, etc.

once I do the blood tests...???

Than you,

Hi Val and Nick,

Next week I have to talk to my functional medicine doctor about

increasing my bio-identical estrogen as I have had to use more than

the RX is for to alleviate night sweats and other menopausal symptoms.

I have been avoiding this conversation because while he requested my

RT3 test he also looked at it and said all was well " No 's

syndrome " with a ratio that Val said was 12. I have been self-treating

for 13 weeks. Also my TSH was 13.5 in February because I was on

Iodoral by prescription after taking an Iodine Loading test and

showing a deficiency. I am now on week 13 of T3 only and increasing

Cynomel incrementally (now back at 81.25) until I don't feel hypo

anymore and my temps are normal. I can't afford a total blood panel at

the moment and I am just wondering if it would be advisable to just

forego the extra estrogen for awhile until everything is optimal? I

feel like my hormones might balance themselves better once my thyroid

hormones are optimal and my feeling is my doctor, while better than

average, is still in the dark when it comes to T3, Iodine and also

BHT. I guess I am afraid that he will quit treating me when or if he

finds out I am self treating with T3 and then I will lose my

bio-identical prescription. I know this is not strictly about RT3 but

if possible I would appreciate some advice.

Thanks so much,

Kris

P.S. Val thanks for the recommendation on places to get mercury

thermometers. www.Horse.com was great to deal with and their service

Brulita I think Val will post them privately, if not already, she will if asked.

Personally I am cancelling my appointment and will either make do with what I

have until January or try some of the products from the sources she provided.

BTW,the private sources work very well and the Cynomel is working for me. I am

finally starting to feel more like myself than I have for about 15 years as

well.

Thanks so much Val for all your help and best of luck to you Brulita as you

start this tortuous journey. It is worth it in the end.

Brulita,

I wasn't familiar with Estratest so looked it up.

Are you aware that it is not BHRT?

It Contains Urine Estrogen (mainly Estrone) and synthetic Testosterone

derivative. The inactive ingredients are crap too (includes Parabens, Iodine)

http://www.rxlist.com/estratest-drug.htm

Not to mention that oral tabs are NOT a good way to take Sex Hormones at all

(hard on Liver & lose a lot in digesting)

God knows why you would want Estrone anyway? Estradiol is best & I use Estriol

vaginally.

A combined product does not allow flexibility in titrating doses either. Much

better to get seperate BHRT Estradiol Liposomal Gel & BHRT Testosterone

Liposomal Gel.
