Answer 1

>give sarah the ten points. Shes been trough it. My two cents worth? The Bio-Identical because the body is more apt to allow them in rather than a synthetic compond.

Answer 2

Hey Caycie,

I personally have experienced great relief using natural thyroid (Armour) instead of synthetic based products such as Syn Thyroid...

I also use a compounded bio-identical progesterone cream that is much better than what the doctor prescribed for me. I used the doctors prescribed progesterone for some excessive bleeding issues and it did nothing. But my nurse practioner who subscribes to hormone balancing adjusted my Armour a bit and added bio-identical progesterone gelto my schedule and I feel great.

I do not and will not use estrogen or DHEA supplements because I believe we have too much in our diet already and there is a lot of problems with their use. (Read Anti-Estrogenic Diet for more info).

I do know since using the hormones I feel better, my cycle is much more regular and my PMS symptoms have been greatly reduced. I know my family says I am nicer ;)
