Will Bio Identical Hormone Therapy Cure Hypothyroidism?
Hi, I m a 26 yr. old female. I m 5 5 and currently 143lbs (this is heavy for me). I have hypothyroidism which I m treating with bioidentical hormone therapy. I also have elevated levels of led in my liver. I suffer from nearly daily migraines which is due to the hormone imbalance and probably also the led in my system. I ve been doing a detox for the past 9 days and have mostly just been eating fruit, veggies and rice products. I ve actually gained weight and am feeling very bloated and uncomfortable. I m going to the bathroom regularly so I m not sure what is causing the bloating. Any suggestions?
You need to check TSH level as your symptoms are consistent with hypothyroidism. If it persists to be high, I would suggest to start Levothyroxine rather than bio-identical hormones.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
