• Problems associated with the menstrual cycle are now commonplace. The majority of teenagers whom I have seen suffer problems such as PMS, severe cramping, and irregular or heavy cycles.

A large majority of menstrual problems resolve after treatment with dessicated thyroid.

But I'm very devoted to getting my facts straight.
