Re: out of pocket- Lida

[Guest guest]

Hi Lida,

What did they end up doing for you? I have been suffering with thyroid

problems for years now and last May my thyroid went from hypo to hyper. It

was HORRIBLE. (migraines, severe insomnia, nausea, muscle aches, heart

palpitations, hot/cold intolerance, etc...UGH!) This has happened a few

times and when Im hyper, I have all Graves symptoms. I even developed

this icky rash on my arm. All I know is that my thyroid is completely

broken and its really been hard lately. All synthetic thyroid hormone

makes me super ill, so I have switched to Naturethroid (again) and hope

that it will help my thyroid once again.

I went to the doc yesterday and she wanted to prescribe Prevacid!!

WT ____? I dont have heartburn!!!! I swear, you think its bad out there,

I've been through 4 docs this year and no one is willing to put a little

thought to my illness and help. If anyone out there has any advice on

severe hypothyroidism, please feel free to shoot me a private email

isop06@...

I do feel better today though.....I took 2 valium and slept 5 hrs straight

last night! I also tried something new with the thyroid med. I took half

when I woke up and will take half before lunch....(gosh, I hope it works).

Nice to hear from you.
