I am a 49 and have had
PCOS for over 20 years and also have autoimmune alopecia totalis(over 28years) In the last 2 years I have been suffering from fatigue and general ill health and weight gain I have increased PMS type symtoms which I have always associated with the
PCOS problem which are slightly improved by the mini pill Micronor.Lab tests have confirmed high autoantibodies to thyroid and a slightly raised
TSH LEVEL 1 year ago but repeated tests have shown a normal
TSH level.My GPS have suggested HRT for perimenopause/
PCOS although lab test for hormones related to menopause are normal. I have had no hot flushes to date.
Iam concerened that taking HRT willpotentially aggrevate the PCO and or Thyroid/autoimmune problems by introducing more eostrogen if I don't need it.
My Doctors are not prepared to try thyroxine treatment as the
TSH is normal but I have told me that I will develop autoimmune thyroid disease in the next year or so.
