Really loved this site made things easy and understandable. Maybe I don't need adrenal support or cortisone maybe just need progesterone.

I've been prescribed a oestrogen gel and progesterone tablets to take of a night.. As I seemed to have a problem with itchy on tablets.. They seem to think the gel won't go through the liver and so won't make me itch... I have thyroid issues on t3 and t4 doing nothing, although I have deficiencies in b12, D folate, ferritin and iron.. I have I feel PA mums sister had it... However I wonder what the sex hormones might be doing for my lack of feeling a lit better.. (I have only just been given the gel yesterday)... X Jo

I found I needed oestrogen , progesterone and DHEA + adrenal cortex. Try to check if it is bioidentical progesterone - not a progestin - as the fake progesterone is pretty unhealthy stuff and might not work quite like the real thing (the pictures of the chemical structure of it looks more like testosterone to me, but I'm not a biochemist).
