GOD, so many things make sense now. I highlighted the symptons I have

Estrogen dominance

Estrogen dominance is a term first coined by Dr. John Lee, M.D., to describe a condition where there is too much estrogen relative to progesterone, compared to an optimal ratio.

Estrogen dominance may be caused by an excess of estrogen, a progesterone deficiency, or both. In today's world, we are exposed to an excess of estrogens in the foods we eat and the lotions and potions we put on our bodies. It is important to locate and eliminate or at least reduce the sources of excess estrogen in our environment. Estrogen dominance can be corrected in part by dietary modifications and even some lifestyle changes.

Estrogen dominance symptoms and associated conditions (as noted in What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause by John Lee, M.D.):

Acceleration of the aging process
Allergy symptoms, including asthma, hives, rashes, sinus congestion
Autoimmune disorders such as lupus erythematosis and thyroiditis, and possibly Sjogren's disease
