During menopause, estrogen levels
fall along with progesterone and testosterone. As estrogen levels
decline, thyroid levels will follow because estrogen effects thyroid
hormone production. See how everything is connected? So, how does
estrogen connect to chronic pain? Well, artificially elevated levels of
estrogen like found with hormone replacement therapy and oral
contraception are strongly linked to joint pain. Women who use these
hormone products are more likely to experience spinal pain for example.
Estrogen has also been linked to arthritis. Using estrogen is like
adding fuel to the painful fire. Joint pain is a natural response to
inflammation in the body. Toe joint pain is no joke. Joint pain is
noticed as early as the first trimester of a woman 's pregnancy. It is
traced to a hormonal imbalance and is related to menopause.
Thyroid hormone
is important for heart and lung function, muscle and nerve function,
metabolism and gut motility. Thyroid hormone imbalances of the thyroid
hormone can masquerade as many problems including: depression,
menopause, insomnia, pain, and even psychosis. Thyroid imbalances are
missed if both the TSH and Free T4 are not monitor. Do not accept the
answer, "Your thyroid is fine". Make sure that both tests are within
normal range and that the levels are normal relative to each other.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help to re-balance your body and aid secrtion of the hormone. All Natural approach!!
