Ann

I think its because we all can relate on a

level that most people can’t with us! Our family can feel for us, but

they really don’t know what its like to deal with this disease! The ups

the downs, depression, questioning the future, all kinds of things. On the

note about antidepressants’, I take one to help me sleep at night. I

wonder if that’s why I hardly every have spasms?

I woke up

this morning and my first thoughts were of and , Steve and Jimmy,

Stefan and .

What is it about this Group that

stimulates all this love and concern for people I have never met; people who

to me are words written on my computer screen?

I cannot understand it, but know that

it is real.

Hi Ann,

So kind of you to remember the date for Stefan's dilatation-

unfortunately, it was changed, as the surgeon who was to be on stand

by left the country. Stefan had only just finished speaking to Dr

Rawat to confirm things. then Dr Rawat called me 5 mins later to say

how frustrated he was that he could not do it as Mr Haddad had gone

away. So now it's set for 29th June.

Our best wishes to you and hope your recovery continues to go well

Dear Sally and Stefan, How frustrating for you to have to go throught the wait again. But things happen, I suppose. Are you planning to come to the meet-up in London on the 2nd of July?

,

My heart goes out to you...I do understand. This year will be hard for us

as well...only 1 son home...the rest serving our country.

But I keep reminding myself that it is because of their willingness to serve

that we have the freedom to enjoy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Will keep you in my prayers dear one.

in Him,

Jenni

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and especially you , and Jenni,

You and your families will both be in my prayers. This is the first year

that one of my daughters will be out of town. She lost her job in March

with a company buyout and after doing all she could to stay in our area

she took a job at Target headquarters in Minnesota. She is a twin so

it's hard on my other daughter too. But as you said, it's a new part of

life.

Been doing lots of Life Lift breathing. I finally " get it " :-D I'm

doing it all during the day. I'm not to the exercise positions yet but

that's coming.

Enjoy tomorrow and every day!

Do I understand that your fiance has a T cell count that was 54 and

now is 11, and you are chosing to treat him with SELENIUM?

He needs antiretroviral medications. I cannot believe that he is

seeing any kind of MD, DO, or witchdoctor who has not made this

recommendation long ago.

Turn off your damn computer and get this guy to a real doctor NOW.

[Guest guest]

Kelli... are you kidding?

Your fiance has 11 CD4 and you STILL haven't started Antiretrovial

treatment?

My last count was 311 CD4 and my doc told me that I would probably

start taking meds in the next couple months!

I am living in Greece, I really don't know much about the system you

have there in the States, but 11 CD4 is way too low...

Hurry up and get the proper antiretrovial medication scheme for your

fiance, before it's too late!

Hi

Chaos can be calmed don't worry, it 'pans out' later.

On treatment (L-T4 and hydrocortisone via the thyrotoxic route before

hydrocortisone was instituted at BRI in Bristol, a teaching hospital;

Prof Stafford Lightman's work), my DW 's hair began to grow evenly

again, no more alopecia; all the little 'bare' patches filled in.

They had been a cause of continuing concern for her over a long time

before we met, her vitiligo was apparent from early teen years.

Now, we know it was always autoimmune in origin; Prof Weetman did some

of that work. Well done that man.

best wishes

[Guest guest]

Sounds like you might enjoy keeping a diary .

Another thought is that you could benefit from keeping a temp chart as

per www.drrind.com/ This way you would know where you are with your

adrenals and with your thyroid and you would see a graphic

representation of your improvement as you go along.

My son keep a daily diary of how he feels physically and emotionally

and has been doing the temp charting too.

He finds it v. helpful.

Hi MO

I do check my temps everyday, basal this week has been 36 and today 36.3, I do it again usually around 4pm and its never above 36.5, not sure how accurate my thermometer is though

I never suffered with hair loss of any kind with this hypothyroidism, my symptoms have all been emotional and mental, lucky me eh!

Hi All, I am new here and I have a question? For the ones that have healed their thyroid problem completley, do you have positive thoughts about life and past no judgement about yourself and about others? Do you love yourself unconditionally and love everyone as one heart? I'm wondering if having a unbalanced thyroid can cause us to have negative thoughts about ourseleves and about others.

From: clhend <clhend@...>iodine Sent: Thursday, October 1, 2009 2:56:17 PMSubject: First day taking Iodoral

Today was my first time taking Iodoral. I took it (12.5mg) this morning about an hour after (6:30am) taking 2 60mg Armour.I usually take another two 60mg Armour about 12:30. I forgot, and in the last hour (now 2:48) I've become slightly nauseated with a headache behind my eyes.Since I just realized I'd forgotten my second dose of Armour, I'm wondering if this was anything to be concerned about. I'm taking the Armour now, and actually seeing a slight lessening of the headache already.Is there anything else I should be looking for?Cheryl

[Guest guest]

Well, I am working towards that end. But just recently I sort of fell

apart and am having trouble losing the blues. I made the mistake of

stopping the Celexa when I thought a major stressor had been removed

from my life. It had, but I still needed the Celexa and now I am

working up to the onset of the secondary effect kicking in again. I am

taking 25mg iodoral, magnesium, selenium at bedtime to combat RLS,

metformin for the PCOS, use my CPAP, take fish oil and enjoy epsom salts

soaks too. I am on levothyroxine and am hesitant to push for Armour or

other desiccated pig products until I know the supply will be reliable.

I suspect that I might be one of those who benefit from both T4 and T3

supplement and do plan to ask for that, even if it is synthetic at this

time.

Thanks to Steph supplying the link to that pharmacy site, I was able to

research all the drugs I was taking - looking for Bromide of course -

and discovered that I did not want Spironalactone in my body anymore and

that Zetia was producing side effects that I did not need. I have also

been able to discontinue the Protonix as my duodenitis seems to be

healed. With the Protonix went OTC Pepcid and Baclafen, so now I am

down to just a few and I am feeling slightly better.

I still believe that all of these conditions stem from a common source,

they are too closely connected, and I also think that they are a symptom

of the Western Diet. I do not eat the Western Diet and have not for

many years, but it could take a long time for the damage to be repaired.

Pamala..

You might want to add l-tyrosine too to help in the conversion of T4 to T3.

Pamela,

I too have restless legs and take Klonapin for it but am tapering off with a

compounding script and the help of a program called Point of Return. I use it to

come off of Lexapro also earlier this year. You really need to taper off a

anti-depressant if possible. I am concerned about doing without the Klonapin but

determined to get off. I am awaiting the results of my iodine/bromide test. I

know that I have been Progestrone deficient by a blood test several years ago

and now I really think since many times the first time a woman get RLS is during

pregnancy it is most definitely a hormone problem. The first time I had RLS was

during my last preg at age 40 with my daughter (I am now 55). I am taking

magnesium, several products from POR and a progestrone cream right now until I

get my results (soon:) hopefully. I know I have symptoms of thyroid problems

including low body temp, weight loss earlier and now weight gain, dry skin,

trouble carrying children to term, depression at times (better now with

vitamins).

I really think there is going to be help for you and me!

I also bought a lightbox to use in the morning and that is supposed to help

with the seratonin.

I am not sure what you mean about healing thyroid completely. I am on

enough meds now, 240mg Armour and 100mg Iodoral. yes to all your ??

but also I can barely deal with the damage done to me and my family by

allopathic medicine I don't trust most medical ppl. I think

unbalanced thyroid/iodine deficiency can cause mental illness.

I believe undiagnosed glutten and dairy intolerance can cause schizophrenia and bipolar issues or at least add to the burden that can trigger that and autism. At least from watching friends and their grandchildren. Pam

Judy, The NWO order is about to create a reality for you, and does not give a

damn what your thoughts are about it! I speak of the coming genocidal vaccine

program. Iodine in large quantities is a very good idea if you get " stuck " .
