Guest guest Posted February 2, 1999 Report Share Posted February 2, 1999 Hi Beth, Welcome to our list. You have my deepest admiration. We have two sons that we homeschool. I really don't know how you do it, but I know that your children will always appreciate their mom. I visited your homepage and I think it is beautiful. You will find support and friendship here. We need you too. Take care, Louis ocdnet@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 1999 Report Share Posted February 2, 1999 HI Beth: Welcome to the list. You certainly have your hands full. My son, who has OCD, etc., takes Paxil but it was not effective at the dosages your children are taking. Do you find that Paxil is working as a medication for them? We also like in an isolated, rural area and so this group is a great way of sharing and supporting for us. We have to fly over 500 miles round trip to take our son to the doctor, so I can imagine how hard it is to take 5+ 30 miles to the doctor! Looking forward to hearing from you again soon.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 1999 Report Share Posted February 3, 1999 Gosh Kathy, 500 miles...I will definitely appreciate my little 30 miles trip next time. Paxil seems to be working with my girls, but Todd. Well, that's I don't know what I am going to do with him. Paxil is not working too well. He was on a higher dose, but now the doctor is slowing taking him off. I 'm not sure what she has in mind. Something that's going to work I hope.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hello, everyone. I'll try to keep this short. I'm 51 and female.Have always been fit and active; rock climbing, long-distance walking, yoga. Felt very happy and contented with how physically healthy and strong I felt. I was diagnosed hypothyroid two years ago and diagnosed Hashimoto's Thyroiditis four months ago. Began on 25mg Levothyroxine nearly two years ago. Dose went as high as 200mg. The higher it went, the sicker I got. Just before Xmas 2010 I could hardly function... pain in joints and muscles, had to be shaken awake in the morning, brain fog, terrible hot sweats and then freezing cold. So stopped taking tablets altogether. Pains diminished somewhat and felt moderately better. Saw Endo in early Feb who said I must begin on 150 mg Levo again, have blood tests in April and May and follow-up appt in June, when they'd test my adrenals. Needless to say, symptoms back with a vengeance after a week. So, I bought Erfa thyroid from Canadian pharmacy. Been taking three grains a day since March 3rd but feeling no better. Thought this would be my magic bullet, but sadly not. My feet hurt so much, my ears are ringing, I'm swollen. Everything hurts, dammit! And I've gained fifteen pounds since last May, despite eating a healthy diet with little or no refined carbs and plenty of fruits and veg. Will get my levels from the doctor and post them on here shortly. Thank God I've found this website! Ps Two years ago, I fell while climbing and struck the side of my neck against my husband's knee. This gave me a kind of sideways whiplash injury. Don't know if this is significant. Many thanks for any help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
