This is a great thread for those of us with hypothyroidism. I have been noogling for 2 months, then made the mistake of taking PM. It shrunk my boobs! This is how I realized I am estrogen dominant. The PC cream arrived today, and I am excited to try that.
Regarding hashimotos, I want to tell you girls that I was diagnosed 8 years ago, and have not taken any synthetic hormones. I started practicing Ayurveda (Indian medicine) and got on a thyroid diet. I have managed to maintain my weight at 114 lbs, and manage the rest of the symptoms.
Also, I read all of Mary Shomon's books about Hashimotos. She is not a doctor, but a patient whose books are highly recommended in the medical industry. She points out things that your doctor won't tell you about the disease, such as the types of chemicals to avoid and the ideal diet. Her books are on Amazon and I highly recommend them.
Since I started following Ayurveda I have been able to counteract any Hashimoto's symptoms quickly by adjusting my diet an herbs I take. A great starting point is Vasant Lad's A Complete Guide to Ayurveda. I am so grateful for never having taken a synthetic hormone for this condition. I have only treated it with herbs and nutrition. If any of you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I think we Hypo's should have a separate thread as our NBE experience is not going to progress like everyone else's.
