Wrensong, it's great you keep such an open mind and I'm sure you can help greatly with your thyroid experience. I've noticed quite a few ladies with this issue, that I'm sure does complicate things.
Emma, thanks for the post, but as it's just an observational study, I still wouldn't want to risk hrt use. We all have cancer cells in our bodies and as the article points out, hrt can cause these cells to grow, whilst not having put them there in the first place obviously.
I'm counting myself very lucky, so far, that the alternative approach for me is working and I'm not in a position to be drawn to hrt.. x
