Avatar m tn Do you need hormone replacement after ovary removal in a 63 y.o. post-menopausal women?
Avatar f tn The thing is, these studies are on post menopausal women. I can see where taking a replacement hormone when your body should naturally not be making this hormone anymore could be bad and I wouldn't do it. But what about the people who were thrown into surgical menopause at a time their body would still be producing it?
Avatar f tn Had to giggle on your question you posted about not wanting pig thyroid and seeing your screen name GuineaPigs8. Sometimes the thyroid mind in me is just silly...... sorry Go to rx.com or drugs.
Avatar f tn A couple of members here, including myself, watched Robin McGraw yesterday speak about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Did you know that women as young as their teens can have hormonal imbalances ? And that you can show signs of perimenopause in your 20s... feel horrible and be misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia ? And yet the medical field has failed us again on this other issue.
Avatar n tn An alternative to Armour thyroid that Medicare/your Rx supplement should cover is a T4 hormone replacement with an added T3 hormone replacement as prescribed by your doctor, according to your needs. Taking daily prescribed medications is no different from taking OTC supplements.
733275 tn?1266960586 The idea of taking hormone replacement is to get your hormone levels normal and to keep them normal by continuing hormone replacement. Its not a cure drug that you stop taking once levels are reached. Dropping med will make you hypo. Is there more info shes not giving you? Just what exactly are your symptoms?
718868 tn?1230730029 I too am on the vivelle dot patch, I change mine every 2 days and also take estradiol one tab at bedtime. I am like a new person. I think they have finally gotten my hormone replacement right. I must say that premarin is one of the older, not so good hormone replacement products available. There are so many new and safer bioidentical hormones on the market like the vivelle. I would go back to my doc, get your hormone levels checked and demand to be put on one of the safer replacements.
Avatar n tn which medications should I talk to her about regarding a more true to form hormone replacement of all the hormones the thyroid produces? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/263349'>Forgetfulness and Synthroid</a>.
Avatar m tn These hormones are very important for normal functioning of our body and if there is a deficiency of these hormones it is important to take hormone replacement therapy to overcome this deficiency. Please relax HRT will not damage your brain but is essential at the moment for you.
Avatar m tn About 13 months ago I had surgery to remove a pituitary tumor and I am now on full hormone replacement. For the most part my recovery has gone great. However, I believe I do have problems with either the dosage (.125mg) of my thyroid hormone or the drug itself (levoxyl). I have an endocrinologist that has been with me since the surgery and they refuse to change anything because my T4 level is in the "normal" range at 1.5.
Avatar f tn On September 29, 2009 I had a complete hystorectomy with a 10lb adnexal mass removed at MD Anderson. An intestinal type cancer of low malignant potential was found. I am waiting to be sceduled for an MRI & Colonoscopy. After my surgery I was prescribed Effexor for my mood swings and hot flashes. The doctor has continued to increase the dosage up to the highest = 150 mg per day. All it has done for me is turn me into a zombie.
Avatar n tn Im reading a lot of advice against the use of hormone replacement therapy, but the studies I have researched report that its the combination of progesterone and estrogen that is bad for you, and that estrogen alone may actually decrease the risk of breast cancer. My question then is has anybody else read any studies similar?
Avatar f tn menopause, assuming you were premenopausal at the time of your surgery. If you took hormone replacement therapy after your surgery, that would have put off the inevitable until such time as you discontinued the hormones or the dosage was reduced enough to allow menopause symptoms to break through. I've noticed myself that especially at times of stress the hot flashes can tend to recur.
