Hello

I posted earlier but was unable to reply to questions sent to me and also unable to post again, so I am trying again. I mentioned using essential oils for my lungs. I am 62 and have bronchiectasis. I have had it since 2008. I put 1 drop of thieves oil in a shot glass of water along with 1 drop of the lemon & peppermint. It helps me to breathe. Occasionally, in the mornings when laying in bed, I also breathe out all the air in my lungs several times. It causes a lot of coughing but it helps get stuff out. My lungs always feel heavy at the bottom. I also am hypothyroid - on 1 1/2 grains of nth and 10 mcg of T3. My mother was on the synthroid for hypothyroid and it proved to be ineffective. My most recent challenge is trying to find out the reason for significant hair loss. My iron levels look good as does the B12,& D3 . The hair loss seemed to occur with the addition of the T3. I was using 20 mcg and decided to back off when the hair loss occurred. As for female hormones, mine are non existent. I want to restore them and get the hormones balanced. I'm unwilling to use anything except natural hormone replacement. I am afraid if I supplement just the progesterone, it will cause an imbalance in the others. I'm wondering if the low testosterone might be the cause of the hair loss. I am tiring of the search for answers and feel as though I am treading water. Sincerely

Hi

Do you have any test results for your thyroid vitamins and hormones?

Also when your oestrogen was tested did they test all three types?

Kind regards

I have good Vit D levels. I do all the thyroid test - Free T3, Free T4, RT3, Tsh etc. and yes, I was tested for all 3 of the hormones - estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
