Thanks again for the reply/information. I've read about evening primrose oil and estrogen as well. I've been on fish oils, but I haven't seen results like I get with the evening primrose oil. I rememb...

Yay!! Sounds like a good plan! You previously said you're not on synthetic thyroid medication, right? I think you said you were taking a non-synthetic. The reason I ask is that some say your thyro...

4Fours, Sorry for over-stepping earlier, and thank you for the correction about bio-identical hormones--I definitely had that wrong. I am really sorry you're struggling with depression and adding acn...

Thanks 4Fours. It's the only thing that seems to help, along with magnesium. It doesn't completely eliminate my acne, but it helps control it and the ones I get heal quicker. I've read a lot about it....
