Re: BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS OF HYPOTHYROIDISM.... [1 Attachment]

[Guest guest]

Wow Sheila - what a pretty face that went on to being so distorted with thyroid disease...............the difference was amazing..........glad to see you are back looking yourself again.

It makes you wonder - if it can do that to our faces what the heck is it doing to our internal organs.

best wishes

Thanks Sheila and all,

This picture was taken by a friends mother when I went down to see them in Sheringham Norfolk and little did I know how valuable it would be in years to come.

A copy of the photographs are in numerous clinic medical files as I went from consultant to consultant (at one time I went to 5 in one week) trying to find out what was wrong with me - eventually working out for myself it was the thyroid and presenting the before and after photograph as I went around hospital after hospital trying to find a sympathetic endo consultant. But because my blood test was normal according to these 'experts' I did not have a thyroid condition even though I was showing 1200 antibodies against the thyroid gland. I got told I was eating too much - I was dying and was about two weeks away in my opinion from dropping dead with a heart attack as my body was running so slow I couldn't get my breath and could hardly walk.

It is for this reason I fight with others to stop this happening to anyone else.

regards

Mandy
