Have you looked into adding cytomel to your synthroid? It appears that the T3 is necessary in higher doses for some people, as they do not readily convert the T4 to T3 as needed. I read about that recently....just throwing that out there for you to check into. Lots of info out there on it.

Hope you get it all tweaked just right! I recently upped my Biothroid dosages (which is a T4 and T3 mix) and I feel pretty good right now, especially since adding the hydergine and piracetam daily as well. Brain is clear again! yeah!

Have fun at Disneyland, don't overdo it though!

Hello Patty...Thank you for writing. Seems like the symptoms have subsided a bit. Get a little worse with the hunidity in San Diego, a bit drier up north in Morro Bay. Stomach pain has subsided. Seems to get worse if I am eatinng bad things...chips, etc. As far as medication, I was diagnosed as being hypo at 26, I am 36, been on meds for 10 years, currently on synthroid, 100 mcg, I was on a higher dosage that made me hyper for a little while toward last December. I had implants put in at 33, (saline), I am sure the implants have much to do with what is going on. I had them taken out at the end of June, some things have subsided, night sweats are gone. But as far as the hypothyroidism, it has always been enlarged from the time I was 13. Mom took me to the doctors and they said it was a puberty thing and I would probably out grow it. My grandmother was hypo, she had half removed in the 50's. Hop efully things will get regulated a bit better after I see the endocrinologist. Will try the muscle meds you suggested. We have some, my hubby takes it already, he runs 5 miles a day and can tell when he doesn't take it...take care....off to sight see, then Disneyland monday... S>

Welcome to the group!

Sorry about your lupus diagnosis and your encounters with obnoxious

specialists, LOL. I think many of us have met a few of those. I don't

know of a rheumatologist who would meet your specifications, but I wish

I did since I am in the Chicago area, too.

hey iris, hope things are well with you. i'm still hanging in there but

sometimes it feels like the rope is unraveling!! i have been in alot of pain

this

week. i dropped down to 2.5 mgs prednisone. my neck, back have been killing me.

(thankfully i work for a chiropractor now and i get free adjustments!!) my

left knee has been very painful since wednesday, but i had to scrub 2 rooms of

carpet (poor puppy is on medicine and has to potty alot) also i had a container

break in the fridge and had to scrub off sticky cranberry sauce. plus i went

to a farmers market and walked quite a bit. (decided to do something fun on

my day off) i am supposed to go to a seminar in chicago next week on my day

off. i am not looking forward to a train ride and lots of walking. i am hoping

my boss has been too busy to register us. (i know, i'm bad) finally got

response from dr tisa that he can't afford to pay me until next week. at least

it

was response. well better get my butt in gear. gotta go to work.....kathy in il

I agree Leanne. It's been pretty quiet. Everything is going good here on

my end. Garrett is recovering well from his surgery. Everything thing

looks very good. He goes back to see the surgeon on Wednesday and i'm

hoping he'll be allowed to go back to his normal activity. He has one more

soccer game left and he hasn't been able to play since his surgery.

Funny thing happened to me this morning. The family and I went out to

breakfast with my brother and his family. Because we had such a large

party, we put all the boys at one table and the 3 girls sat at another. We

had just about finished eating when i seen a guy carrying his son. It just

so happened that the boy has blepharophimosis. I couldn't help but keep

looking at him since it's such a rare thing to see, let alone see someone in

the same area have it. They were seated in the booth right next to mine.

After awhile i decided to go over and talk to him. Found out that our kids

see the same surgeon as well. They were very shocked to see that Austin, my

oldest son, looked " normal " . It was very encouraging for them to see the

surgeons work. As we were talking a little more i found out they live in

the town i do. They actually live about a 5 min. walk from my house, and

one of his cousins live on my street. We always found out that we might

even been related. When i told him my maiden name he was shocked. He

wasn't sure how, but he's pretty sure we are distant relatives. I gave him

my name, number and email and told him about this group. I'm just happy to

find someone close that has the exact same thing.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey ,

Thanks for telling about your encounter with the people who live sooooo

close, unbelievable!

It reminds me of my talk with Maarten's mum more than a year ago in the

hospital. We phoned once but after that we didn't have anymore contact.

I have wanted to call them again, but didn't come round to it. After

reading your post I am reminded of it and will try to do so soon.

I too thought it was so nice to meet with someone who lives so close!

Wow... thats awesome!...I wish we could bump into someone with it also...Whats funny, Is that since Ethan has been born, I tend tolook at everyones eyes now! JUst to see if I can come across someone with it...I would definately go up and say something...I just want to actaully talk to someone in the flesh who has this...It makes us feel we ARE the only ones out there with it, I know we arn't, but right here where we live we are!

So glad to hear the Garret is doing good:) My husband is american, I met him in Hawaii 12 years ago! We both lived there fro 9 years, He was born in Illonois, I know the USA is so much better in medical and technology! We are probably a wee bit behind here in New-Zealand, It makes us want to come over there to get another opinion, may-be we will, when we go visit hawaii, There is a surgeon right there who deals with this!...Good excuse for a vacation also ha:)...Well nice to hear from you...talk soon leanne:)

Lynn,

I'm really sorry that you lost your case, and also quite surprised. I know

your neck problem started before the RA diagnosis. Your attorney has a lot

of time vested in this case, so I'm sure if he thinks he can win an appeal,

he'll do it. The RA may play a part in your disability, but it doesn't take

away your injury.

Sending you hugs,

a

My attorney is great but I just couldn't sit on this any longer. I called the

doctor who did the deposition and ask for his help. I didn't tell my attorney I

was doing this. This doctor told me, I did have ct, and the neck problem, so I

thought maybe he would be a help. I will know tomorrow. At least this way when

I meet with my attorney we can talk about it all. I just can't believe this has

happened. After beating them for eight years.

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for your note. I am still in disbelief, I just can't believe it has

happened. I called the ortho doctor that I have gone, he did the deposition for

me, and he said there is nothing he can do. Insurance companies do this stuff

all

the time. I was hoping if would agree to do an EMG, but he wouldn't. So now I

have a meeting with my attorney this week, and we will see what happens. I am

worried because I took out some student loans. I never took out any after I

received ssd, but I have to worry about this too. wc would have had to pay the

loans if we had settled. What a mess. Hope you are doing well.

lynn, maybe you can take out a pell grant. that is what my son got. you need

atleast 2 classes to qualify. they paid for his classes, books, and he got a

almost every atty's office i went to. no one would help me and i really felt

that i should win. good luck and you know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

My son was just put in SSI. He's 20. What do you have to do to get financial

aid for college? He is only capable of taking one class at a time. Will there

be a lot of paperwork for that? This is a new venture for me. I'm still

catching my breath after the long ordeal of getting SSI. Not sure I'm ready yet

to tread new waters!

Hi Becky,

Your son needs to go to the college he wants to go to and talk with the

financial aid office. They will help him. Also, in my state of Pa., to be on

financial aid you have to take at least two classes per semester. Also, when I

started school I went to the Office for Students With Disabilities. This was a

tremendous help. They

will inform teachers what he can and can not do. Plus they will give him

permission to record the classes ( wonderful help), longer time on test,

whatever he needs. Have him check it out.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! I think taping a class will help. He tried once before

but fell through the system. I was foolish enough to think it would work for

him without me really going and seeing what was available. He was supposed to

be in special services but it did not happen. Maybe next time around it will be

better. He really needs to go to try to do something. He works a few hours a

week but really does need a social life at his age (20) so maybe a class here

and there would help get him on the right track. At least it would help his

self esteem to try again.

Becky,

Get him the financial aid and tell him to just pick two classes he something

he is really interested in. That is how I started and it works out well.
