I also have hypothroid, PCOS and no insurance. I was diagnosed with both conditions about 1 1/2 months ago by a "natural" doctor. I am currently taking Armour thyroid, which is a natural thyroid replacement rather than the synthetic Synthroid and using Progestorone cream to try to bring up my hormone levels. They also have me taking Saw Palmetto to try to decrease the testosterone levels, just started taking that so I haven't noticed anything yet. My worst symptoms were daily headaches and never realized that was from the thyroid and low hormones, but they have gotten much better with the Armour, still get them, but hopefully they will continue to get better. I also have the "hair" problem, weight and low energy. I am supposed to be on a no/low carb diet, no sugar, no dairy. Basically fruits, veggies, lean meats, etc. I am pretty new at this whole PCOS and thyroid thing, but let me know if I can give you anymore information. |
