Serious answers only-
Can anyone find any direct link between my migraines, my hypothyroidism, my panic/anxiety attacks and the DES that my birthmother took during her pregnancy with me?

I would be very interested in knowing if there are any correlations here- But ONLY if there is a connection to ALL that I listed above.

I am 48 yrs old- diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 27- have taken synthroid- (ugh)- and have now been on Armour Thyroid for the past 3+ years.
I do very well with the Armour- perhaps because it is NOT a synthetic compound- and will not give that up.
I also know of the correlation between pork and migraines- would the Armour I take then somehow set the migraines off (it is a derivative of pig thyroid)?
I have had migraines since I was VERY young- I was probably about 7 or 8- Have also had a complete hysterectomy in 2000. Please answer if you can.
I offer you my gratitude and Gods Blessings;
Anne

Thank you for your answers- and the link too- But what I am looking for is a conncection between ALL of these things- I have found the relationship between one or two- but no direct link for them all.
I have had my blood tested so very frequently that they should just put a cork in my vein and be done with it- So, the dosage I am on is a very accurate one.
The DES relationship is also ver important as God has given me 4 daughters now as well. I am aware that the MD profession is still trying to gather necessary info re: 3rd generation DES women.
It just seems that ALL of my medical problems have been gladular- even having my gallbladder removed (gallbladder disease; NOT stones) when I was 26.
If you will go to my 360, you will note that my youngest daughter has been very ill for the past year... having been hospitalized 7 times- 5 operations later, and NO diagnosis yet. We have been to Froedtert too- no luck.
If there is anything you can tell me- it would be SO appreciated.
TY

I take Armour 300 Mg's per day perfect for me however too much i am told does cause headaches better to forget the TSH and deal with the symptoms you sound like ur getting to much.
this concurs with anxiety as well but I've not heard of DES.. any way I used to take the synthroid as well till I found a specialists who knew better ....I had an ablation foisted upon me by some endocrinologists for graves disease glad i finally found a competent M.D. Ive since lost 75 Lbs and have only 30 more to go .....the desiccated pig thyroid is full spectrum unlike the synthroid find a second opinion cause it sounds like u r getting to large a dose .....good luck with it!

Mike Murray and Joe Pizzorno discuss every condition you mention and DES is mentioned too but only in connection with Infertility problems in persons whose mother took the drug.
Let's Get Well by Adelle Davis discusses your problems and how optimizing the diet can often give relief.
Monavie Juice has given excellent relief to some migraine sufferers.
