Wow!  After having one of craziest, most emotional days ever, I really appreciate reading this post!  Thank you!

I don't have health insurance, and even when I did, I couldn't find a doctor who would help me.  They either didn't address my hormones, wanted to put me on a "trial run of anti depressants" (after talking with me about my fatigue and aching for 1 minute or so) and wouldn't do the hormone blood tests I kept asking for.

I decided to do my own female panel and the results came back as me having hardly any testosterone and in the low range for progesterone.  I put myself on zinc, started lifting heavy weights and started myself on natural progesterone.  

I did the zinc and progesterone for about 3 months.  I ran out of zinc, and didn't do progesterone this month (but HAD been lowering the dose slowly).

I DO feel nuts and hopefully things will work better.  What I don't think I need is anti depressants...I wish more doctors would check the status of our hormones.  I think that would help a lot of women.  

I'm going to finally order more labs on Monday and have to make an appt with my regular doctor to do a neck scan, because it's been swollen there for almost a week.

When I get my blog launched, I would love to republish this post with a link back to you if I'm able to.  My audience is women/moms with fibromyalgia and I think they need to know this.

Thank you again!
