Borderline Hypothyroid / linked to Fibrocystic breast disease

I have Fibrocystic breast disease and went to my GP with this problem , but also saying how my joints ached and felt very exhausted. Bloods done saying I was Borderline Hypothyroid and to recheck in 3 months. When seen at my Breast clinic and asked them about the link to low thyroxine level & FBD I was shot down in flames.

My GP has not given me Thyroxine to take , but the information obtained from the web states that, women in menopause with FBD do have low thyroid levels.

Any other women out suffering like me.

There are abstracts on Pub med that seem to support your view of a possible link between the two. In your situation, I would be very tempted to print a few out and take them to my show GP. As you are already experiencing sypmtoms typical of low thyroid hormone levels, and have a borderline test result, it may be sufficient to persuade him/her to give you a 'trial' of thyroxine 'to see if it helps'.

hello, you could try visiting drbrownstein.com/homePage.php Dr Brownstein had done very thorough research into the links between thyroid problems and breast disease. A good place to start is with his dvd about Iodine. He seems to be about the only person I have come accross who really seems to understand how the entire endocrine system works and how to get it back in balance. His books are really great too.
