> I can relate to your message! I am "mildly hypothyroid" just found out less than 6 months ago. I KNEW something was not right. Had to beg, beg and beg for the tests. I was shocked to find out I was still within "normal" limits. My doctor agreed to try me on a very low dose of thyroid hormone. It has helped but not completely. It has only been recently that I began to research PCOS. Looking back I have had "hormonal issues" since puberty (like the facial hair thing) I never even knew there was a name for this till recently...despite repeated complaints to my doctor as well as my ob/gyn. I will certainly have to fight to get any tests done I am sure. However, the entire endocrine system is complex and very interconnected. When something is amiss...it effects the other glands too, pitutary, adrenals, ovaries, etc. Hang in there. In good health,
