>Yippeeee! I cannot believe that I have found somebody else who has PCOS AND and underactive thyroid. I have had an underactive thyroid and PCOS for a few years (although each condition has been diagnosed at different times). I would be very interested in emailing you some more but I don't want to send a really long email if you're not even there!!!!!!

I have PCOS and a low thyroid too. So for my thyroid,I have been taking a combination of herbs for my low thyroid which has helped clear up my acne and has given me more energy and has made me feel good inside(which I haven't felt for a long time.)The combination is cayenne,kelp & dulse. All equal parts put into capsules. I take 3 in the morning and 3 at night. My skin starts clearing up immediatley and I begin to feel better quickly. I believe for every illness God has given us herbs for a cure, we just need to do our research. Medicine helps too, but I am worried about all the side affects.As for the pcos, I am using progesterone cream twice a day, started excercising and trying to eat more healthy (protein & vegies). I have regular periods with the cream. But, just because I have a period, do I automatically ovulate too? And how do you know if you are ovulating?Can this be cured without using drugs? Lots of questions!!!
