My name is Billie. I diagnosed myself after going to 10 doctors at the age of 25 with hypothyroid. As a young female, they all said my thyroid was within the range, but I was sleeping 16 hours a day and felt extreme fatigue and ended up gaining 40 pounds within 3 months. I stopped having my menses at 27 years old and no one cared, until I met a doctor who helped me reset my hormones using bio-identical estrogen and progesterone and put me on combo therapy (T3 and T4). My body is sensitive and the blood work was too slow in detecting what was really going on and the compounded medicines were a life saver. I need them to feel normal and like a woman again.
