Here is my brief story:
I had been on NDT from 2014-2018, I went to a New doctor back in April 2018 which ran some lab test. These lab test showed I'm high in Estrone, progesterone, & testosterone. The doctor said for me to take vit c for the high lipids, DIM & CDG for the high hormones. So I did as dr.ordered. The DIM made me super constipated, I stop this. I must of taken to much all at once of the CDG because I started having pain in my mid back a week after taken them, so I stopped. In the meantime I had been having hypo issues w/ NDT for a yr, Nutri-meds. I had fell upon an article from Dr Westin Childs in regard to some trigger point back pain which whole article was me. he recommended adding T3 to your NDT regimen. So I did. These trigger points went away. I did more research on T3 and convert over to doing T3 only. I started Aug 1, 18 and felt great. During this time i sought out a dr that wasn't 2 hrs away, as the one above and that supports T3 only patients (so I thought) as well as could help with my hormone issues.
Fast forward to Sept, when I found a doctor, which ran more test. Once my test results were read, nothing was mentioned about my hormone issues, and I could read between that lines she didn't support the t3 only. She put me on fish pills for high cholesteral and niacin for high lipids. I took the niacin as directed for about a week, I then began to experience HIGH histamine reaction and stop taking the Niacin, 4 weeks later, I am still experiencing very dry skin that is unbearable. My estrogen is through the roof also. I spoke to dr In regards to this and they ran blood test for thyroid levels last Wednesday, when i spoke to them on Friday they said my levels were normal and there was nothing they could do for me. At this time I have lowered T3 on Wed-Friday to get some releif on dry skin. This got me into hypo state. I told them this and they want me to see a specialist, i even asked them to prescribe me some t4 and they did nothing. So seeing my skin was less dry i figured i was having reaction to something in T3. Sure enough, after only taking one dose t3 in am on friday, i decided to take 30 mg of armour before bed. I woke with very very little skin dryness. Since i started Saturday taking 60 mg armour ( i had leftover from 2016) no dryness. However, Saturday and Sunday i had fatigue, muscle and organ pain so bad i was in tears. Its Monday And i am still fatigue (not as bad as weekend) but getting better. However, my temp is dropping. Its been good up until today and i havent went past 97° (taken @ 6a, 12p & 4p.
I really need advice on flushing out estrogen and any advice or direction on the if i should up dose already? Sorry so long Simple Please. I am so overwhelmed between hypo symptoms and doctors!
Below I have posted and dated saliva lab test starting in April til last weeks. Yes, I know Vit d3 was low and I upped my dosage. I am a 45 yo female, have had 1 ovary removed, an a year later the oblation procedure back in 2007 so I do not have a normal cycle, but have always had all PMS symptoms. I have been having estrogen dominance for 2 yrs now.
At the time of 1st lab test I was on 40 mg of progestogen oil and since went down to 6mcgs a day. I am all recommended RP supplements as well as have been Peating for 2 1/2 yrs.
