Intro...Day 2 on Iodoral

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Zoe, thanks for starting this group. There's just not much out there

on this subject. I feel like a guinea pig to some extent. I just

found out officially that I have hypo thyroid...after suspecting it

for 11 years, being told I'm either in range or borderline, suffered

from polycystic ovarian disease, gained 80 pounds (ugh), and went

through a hysterectomy last July. I'm 39, and feel like 80 many

days.

I'm happy I've found a place to share thoughts and experiences with

others. I frequent the natural thyroid group also. I have started on

iodoral yesterday. I didn't have the test for antibodies, so I'm

somewhat nervous about that. I know I also have adrenal fatigue. I'm

also taking DHEA, pregnenolone and estrogen. I'm hoping the DHEA is

enough for the adrenals. I'm not so sure about the estrogen either.

I'm taking it one day at a time. I've been on DHEA for about a

month, and I do feel stronger. I'm now walking short distances and

playing a little basketball with my girls.

Any other suggestions or comments greatly appreciated.
