Yes that is true timarie. I went to my doctor to be tested and she did not want to do it, said it wouldn't help much. But I feel my symptoms stretch so far into other aspects of my life that a hormone defficiency, for me, is like a "missing puzzle piece" and it goes beyond me just reading the symptoms and casually thinking hmm yea I guess that could be me ..

But yea I totally agree, many of the sypmtoms overlap, and all of the symptoms could be considered a symptom of something else entirely that is not even related to hormones. But I am going to give PM a go and see what changes I notice in my physical and mental body!

I hear you about unwilling doctors. I went to mine, told her all of which hormones I wanted to be tested, and she told me that if she ran a test for PCOS that all my hormones would be tested. Ugh I am so annoyed because, although she told me that all my hormones were tested and I was completely balanced, I cannot find estrogen anywhere on my test results, and after a week of trying to get through to doctor, I finally was told by her assistant that estrogen WASN'T run and that she would order me another test. Oh great, so I can wait another month. I have my whole program made but wanted to wait to see many results first before I bought anything. This whole process took 2 months already, and I have taken my time doing research. I am done waiting and ready to start, and I am so incredibly LIVID at how my doctor so completely disregarded my requests! I hate how, just because they don't understand our purpose or agree with it, they think that they have the right to have less respect for our requests, and to act upon it. When I was hoping that she'd have great respect for me wanting to be careful, I got the opposite. Sorry, getting off my soap box now... it is just frustrating because I am ready and have to wait for them to conveniently plan more appointments for me to make to their office Sounds like $$$ to me...
