RE: New member has setback

[Guest guest]

Morning ,

Poor you, unfortunately, an all too common story! I think moving is

exhausting without being unwell too!

Many of us have to treat the adrenals in line with the thyroid,

something I had to learn. Over the course of time, if the thyroid is

not functioning as it should, adrenals carry the can! As Sheila

explained it prevents the medication fully working. Of course you may

have already done this.

You've come to a good place. Most of us arrived here unwell,

disatisfied to some extent with treatment or lack of it, (in my own

case)and as part of our independent research into getting well.

Many knowledgeable folk will help you. All the reading into

associated conditions really helped me, as Sheila advised. Also, try

Dr P's book. Invaluable in learning about the wider picture.

Take care, keep smiling, you will get there, it just takes a bit of

time.

Enjoy the day,

Not only newcomers - I have caught myself once or twice about to send messages to the wrong group. When I type in Thyroid in the 'to' box it continues it for me, and often continues in the wrong one. Thank goodnes for the 'reply' button, at least it replies to the right one lol.

…but with my new Outlook, whenever I send a message to the

forum (or anywhere else for that matter, it goes from one of my other email

addresses and not the one I have set as 'Default' which is sheilaturner@... . I

have tried everything but still when I start sending messages, back they come

as 'undeliverable' because the address is not registered with the forum so I

have to re-send them and every time, click 'Account' to make sure it goes from

that address, but each time, this one remains ticked as the default. Has

anybody an idea why this is happening. It is very frustrating and

time-consuming.

luv - Sheila

Hello , thanks for your encouraging words - much appreciated at

a time when I so much needed it. As I've written to Sheila, I've

long suspected an adrenal problem, but had doubt cast on it by the

Doctor I was seeing privately, so now I'm just going to get on and

try and sort myself out, with the help and support of this wonderful

group.

Thanks again,

Hi again ,

Just reading your posts, you are SO MUCH more knowledgeable than I

was when I joined tpa. Adrenals I asked? What do they do then? Ha!

Seems amazing now, only six months ago.

Your research, and Sheila's replies will have informed you by now of

the huge controversy in treating thyro/adrenal connection within the

system. I even went armed with results to see an Endo, (low cortisol,

out of range 3 out of 4 times per day)who would only test me for

s, which I didn't have. (i knew that!) Wouldn't have any of

it, even though I only have half a thyroid (surgery 20 years ago) and

Free T4 right at the bottom of the range. No treatment offered! Grrrr!

Sooooooooooooo, it is only through tpa I have got better. But for the

lovely supportive friends (who I have never met)who guided me through

the process, I would be on long term sick with questionable fatigue

of no apparent origin.

My experience doesn't match yours, I know, but your story is one that

many of the members have experienced, especially around combining

adrenal meds with thryo ones. Also, your nursing background will

place you well here.

Once again, don't worry, this is a good place to be. You already

sound like you're half way to solving the equation. Good luck and

good health.

Love,

-Hi

I can relate to your experience with the endocrinologist - I've had

similar - they only seem to do s Disease!!

Basically I think they're only interested in diabetes - the fact

that the department I went to called itself " Diabetes and

Endicrinology " might be a clue! Plus, there's a Government Standard

in place for the treatment of diabetic patients - sadly no such

thing exists for the thyroid patient.

It's really encouraging to hear of success stories - it helps you to

keep on plugging away and renews optimism that I will be one myself

one day soon. So thank you.
