YourQuestion: Hi there,
I have a hormone imbalance and have my entire life. Periods started late (15yo) and were exceptionally painful and irregular…sometimes I went years without one. I have ovarian cysts (on the right side only) but no trouble getting pregnant (2 pregnancies easily achieved but not easy to carry with vaginal deliveries). I have violent mood swings, am heavy and can’t lose the weight, am hairy, skin issues, tired all the time, and loss of libido.
I started bioidentical progesterone but stopped it last May as I was overdosed on it and it felt like I did not need it anymore. I was good, libido was coming back, weight was still there but I was mentally good. Then it all went wahooney about 1 week ago. My period was a week late and when it came I was vomiting and faint from the pain. I was contemplating the emergency room it was so extreme. Now the libido is gone again and I have mood swings again. I am very tired of the roller coaster ride and am not excited about seeing a physician who will just want to put me on birth control pills. I also do not need a spa to treat me like the lady that I am.
I want a
Dr. to treat and test me and figure out what is wrong. I do not have a ton of money, I have enough and 2 little kids. I cannot leave them with the “nanny” while I travel and I already pay for insurance to handle medical costs.
Am I fit for your clinic or is there someone in Houston that you could refer me to that works with Hormone Allergies. I am getting really desperate. My ovary still aches and I am concerned about next month.
We are in complete agreement with your self diagnosis. Definitely a person who fits into our symptom parameters. All of the symptoms that you have listed, indicate hormone imbalance, or even a true allergic reaction to some of your own hormones. You sound remarkably like i did, when I was introduced to Dr. Roby, and he saved my life.
The reaction that you had to the progesterone cream seems like a rather clear indication of it. If you are allergically reactive to the progesterone that you produce, and you put in more, that is not your own, of the offending substance, you are overdosing.
Even though it was a bio-identical progesterone, it was in all likelihood, too strong for you in your hypersensitive state. You are very observant, which is true with most of our patients. We treat a very intelligent group.
We will instantaneously stop any symptoms that you have when you are in our office. This will give all of us, some painfree time, to design a longer term treatment plan for you. Each plan is designed based on the patient’s individual test results. We don’t like ‘cookie cutter’ methods.
Would you be able to come and spend a few hours with us for testing and treating? We are so confident in what we do, that we offer a “satisfaction guarantee”. If we can’t help you, the visit is at no charge. If you decide to try the protocol, and after a time, conclude that it doesn’t work as well as you thought it would, you can ask, and receive any money that you have paid us.
In Texas, physicians are prohibited from diagnosing, treating and prescribing for patients whom they have not seen in person. The first visit must be done here in Austin, or if it is more convenient for you, San Antonio. An annual re-exam is also a legal requirement for all doctors.
You can expect to be here for about three hours on that first visit. You will go home with all of the tools that you need, to get started on your way back to a real you. Anything that comes up, such as, adjusting the dosage, getting answers to the questions that you forgot, or didn’t know to ask, can usually be resolved by phone and email.
We do accept most healthcare plans, including Medicare, Medicaid and Military. We can email a lab slip, to have our standard hormone panel blood test done locally, before you come here. It usually takes about ten days to get the results to us, but you can keep track, and give us a call to have someone discuss the findings (true hormone levels), and give you the options, as we see them.
Dr. Roby discovered, many years ago, that the main ‘bad boy’ hormone, is progesterone. The imbalance causes us to pump out too much adrenaline, which is usually the other main culprit, and it can make your life miserable. Unfortunately, balancing hormones is not something that you can do for yourself. There has to be an outside influence, to stop the electrical action and reboot you, just like a computer.
Luckily, that’s what we do. We do it very well.
Before we start to get too deeply into all of this, it would be good for you to go back to our website, and get the free download of the first chapter of Dr. Roby’s new book, “Maybe It Is All In Your Head,,,And you Are NOT Crazy!”. Everything that I can tell you, is already brilliantly set down for you to read.
You can go even further, since you are on the website, and read or reread, the section on Hormone Imbalance. It will give you a huge insight on what is really going on in your body, why it is happening, and how we can help you to take control, and keep it that way from now on.
I would like for you to continue, and read the sections on Food Allergy and Airborne Allergy, as well. After you have finished your reading, you may discover that you have more specific questions to ask me. Just email them to: dorothy.dreux@gmail.com, and we will tackle them together, anytime you want, or need to.
The connection between hormones and allergies is very complex and at times, almost impossible to separate. We choose to treat both at the same time, because we know that we can achieve a better result by doing so. Most traditional doctors know little, to nothing, about hormones and what they do in our bodies. They quite simply control, and run our bodies.
Everything that happens in your body, is a function of hormones.
Since traditional doctors cannot easily recognize hormone imbalance, and they didn’t learn about it in Medical school, it just doesn’t exist for them. They learn about diseases. You and I, both know, that even if they recognized hormone imbalance, they wouldn’t know how to fix it. We do.
If you have to have a diagnosis, hormone imbalance is the one to have. If you are familiar with the condition, it is easy to recognize, and just as easy to treat. Remember, that you aren’t having to fight a dreaded disease, you are healthy. Your hormones just need to be balanced. Our patients are not sick…but, they do feel really, really bad; really, really often.
We choose to treat hormones and allergies all at once, because we know that we will achieve a better result in a much shorter time, than if we treated them separately.
I promise you, that we will NOT put you on birth control pills, nor will we send you to a spa for treatment. I would enjoy a spa day, myself, so I would urge you to go, but because you want to. It could be nice, having the day to yourself.
When you are pumping out adrenaline, which causes stress, is one of the undesirable things that can happen. The body reads it as an ‘emergency’, and during an emergency situation, your body is hardwired not to burn fat. It will burn sugar first, then protein, and only, as a last resort, will it burn fat.
When you decide that you would like to come here, please call our office: 800-842-6349, and ask for Pam, if she is available, to discuss fees, insurance, available dates, and whatever else you might need to know.
There is the Hotze Wellness Clinic in Houston. It is cash only, the treatment costs $3,500.00, and Dr. Roby taught them how to do it. I’m really not sure how they have modified our treatment, I only know that two of their doctors, were trained in our office.
Thank you for sharing your problems with us. I know that it is a hard thing to do. I hope that you will keep in touch.
Have a happy Holiday.
Warm regards,
Dorothy Dreux
Roby Institute
