Phillipa,
How are the bio-identical creams working for you? I'm not sure why(and my gyn couldn't figure it out either) but my body wouldn't absorb the creams. I had been on them for a year and my bloodwork was still coming back in the negative. So now I am having to take them by mouth, which is what I was trying to avoid.
I will be going back at the end of January to re-do bloodwork and see if that is making a difference. They are still bio-identical, but didn't want this stuff running through my liver. Oh Well. I had the hysterectomy when I was 36, now I'm 41. The doc says he is trying to keep my body from going into menopause, but since I've had problems as a teenager this is obviously going to be a battle.
My thyroid has been checked alot over the last couple of years because low-estrogen can cause the same problems. What did your thyroid tests come back as? Did they run the whole panel? (T-3, T-4, T-5). I could probably give you more info if I knew what your dx was.
Let me know!!!
Courtney
