My key indicator was the terrible triad (cold all the time, dry skin, and hair loss). I did take BCP for 3 years before using a PCOS herbal protocol and balancing my cycles. now just dealing with the thyroid and weight. go figure. Thanks for the great wisdom Dr. I saw an herbalist for my low thyroid and she said that lots of floride (like in our water, etc.) can lower the iodine in our bodies and can be another cause of low thyroid.

I never took estrogen and I never really took BCP. I am now 46 and since the age of 39 i have been very tired. I was finally diagnosed with Hypothyroid disease after years of complaining about energy and aches and pains. so, i know my thyroid disease is not due to BCP or Estrogen. How can you help me? I feel bad all the time. and I now go for blood tests every 60 days with either the lowering of thyroid meds or increasing of the meds. I truly feel trapped in a life that seems lifeless.
