the plot thickens with my condition.
turns out high estrogen can mimic hypothyroidism, so some of my symptoms are from the estrogen imbalance and some of them are from hypo and neither of them have been properly addressed. It's even possible ALL of my symptoms are from high estrogen now and the hypo is completely under control.
so now they're trying to get my progesterone levels up to lower the estrogen and then we'll take another look at thyroid levels.
I've done a lot of reading in the past few weeks and it looks to me like my estrogen levels could have gone out of whack when they took me off the pill in my early 20s because of my migraines and just steadily continued to get worse over the years.
Yeah, my fiance is a mess without her birth control. A lot of women have that problem but they start them off so early now (usually 13 or so for birth control) that they never get a chance to find out.
