I previously fell upon some articles or should I say comments with articles attached in regards to Estrogen dominance by you. With all the wealth of information in those comments I can see you are very knowledgeable in this area (as well as many others). At the moment I am in an exhausted state, as well a lack of comprehension with all your wealth of knowledge. I think I would benefit with some simple directions.

I had not been to a dr since 2016. With the wealth of knowledge on here and lots of prayer I felt as if I was doing pretty well on NDT. Toward the beginning of the year in 2018 I sought out a doctor for my estrogen dominance. He was not very helpful in this area. Sept 2018, I sought out another dr in regards to same thing and again still no help. She wasn’t going to help because in Aug 2018 I switched to T3 only and she did not approve. Unfortunalty, I was not aware T3 increases estrogen. 4 weeks ago I had a reaction and wasn't sure if it was the niacin the doctor put me seeing how it happened a week after starting it. Or if it was an ingredient in the T3 I couldn't tolerate. However, I believe it was my Estrone.

As of right now I am back on NDT (only) since Nov 14 at 60mg. From Nov 14- 20 my temp was doing fine. On the 20th, temp did not get above 97.4 all day long. On Nov 21st I upped dose to taking 90mg a day. Now my estogen has shot through the roof. My legs are swelled and hurt, I am bloated, I get this weird pressure in my face and in my eye's. I have had someone tell me this was my tsh causing this. I don't think it is seeing I have dealt with these sympotoms off and on for over 2 years even when I was on a higher dose o f NDT in the past, just not as intense. I have also read somewhere on this that I need to up my dosage until I resolve the estrogen symptoms.

My question to you is would you be willing to give me some insight as well as direction on flushing out this estrone. My concern is that this is estrone dominance not the main estrogen and If I flush to much out I would kick myself into menopause.

Also, the other day I took 1 tsp of coconut oil by mouth and these symptoms shot through the roof!!!

I am female, 45, 5'7, 150lbs, At the age of 33 I had one ovary removed, a year later an oblation procedure. I do not have a normal cycle because of this. But I still do have PMS symptoms. I would GREATLY appreciate your direction on this. @haiduit

I am currently on recommended dosage of Vit e, ADK, selenium, magnesium, methyle gaurd, vit c & 9mg of progesterone. Aspirin gives me increased estrogen. DIM constipates me. Thinking of trying nettle root..anythoughts?

8 dropped all NDT and T3 as it caused me many problems and very high levels of Estrogen. It has been a hard and long journey but am back just on Synthroid plus eating a low Vit A diet slowly am getting better only snag is I dropped from 110 pounds to 104 and now down to 97. I think it was more water weight due to Estrogen.

Know of any way to buy synthroid w/out a script? Or of a way to convince my doctor of this? Also, how much are you on?

There is a lot of info on this forum about the lowest Vit A. I am now gradually adding foods back into my diet. I had a problem with yellowing of my skin due to caretenoids in high viy A foods.

I am on 88 mcg of Synthroid taken at 6am. I did T3 only for a while cleared reverse T3 but ended up with lots of adrenaline and adrenal issues, then became severally hyper and still struggling to get out of the hyper symptoms

Your doctor will give a script for Synthroid as it is a T4 only. I know there is an online pharmacy in Mexico you can buy without a script. I now live in the USA and get a script from my Dr.When I lived in Hong Kong and South Africa I bought from Mexico as it was legally ok.
