hi, I have 2 main questions that i hope someone else has had experience with and can help!

1. My bloodtests generally show my levels to be fine with the meds I'm taking (eltroxin) but for years I'm feeling like my thyroid is still throwing off my hormone balance and causing me to be depressed exhausted and more... I heard of something recently called Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy which is supposedly natural and more effective but not well known or accepted. Has anyone tried this?

2. I have an issue that i feel embarassed by but no doctor i've gone to can tell me what it is and a friend recently thought i should search in a support group if anyone knows if it could be connected to my hyporthyroidism if not balanced:

i get inflamations in my ears and in my vagina kinda like pimples sometimes, sometimes puss-filled, sometimes big or small, sometimes only 1 at a time, sometimes multiple, they move around, i used to get them only once a month b4 my period, then about 6 months ago i stared getting them regularly and way more in quantity. i got checked for herpes and all docs agree that it doesnt look like herpes. in my vagina they can be like hard balls under the skin, and very painful. they are also painful in my ears but arently really visible, they are also under the skin and don't pop out much. for about a year they were appearing less frequently and less painful, but now i'm really frustrated by not knowing what it is and how to treat it and if i need to be concerned in sexual activity and birth....

thanks! hope everyone will get healthy soon!
