Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 ...good luck sweetie, hope everything turns out fine. Me, I've been trying to deal with living on .25 mcg of levoxyl. Did NOT stop taking it drastically like the endo told me to and after about two weeks, I'm starting to get tired again, my glands are swelling back up to the size they were before, and it's been really hard to get all this stuff done after getting married and changing my last name, ya know driver's license, ss card, car insurance, etc. I've seen there's been quite a few articles in the " women's " magazines about thyroid problems but haven't read anything I don't already know yet.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 I'm glad the cancer was removed, , keep us posted. How are you feeling otherwise -- swallowing and breathing better I hope? I got a cold after wearing myself out this weekend. It's weird how I almost never get colds any more now that I have Hashis... but when I do I just feel strange, I don't know how to describe it. A similar but much more drastic experience with this feeling happened when I was first diagnosed, went into the hospital.. I felt like my immune system was on a total rollercoaster -- my symptoms would flare up so badly one minute I could hardly breathe.. then an hour later they would subside almost completely. Anyone else experience weird stuff with colds/flu? s > --------------------------------- > Hi everyone: > > This place has been quiet so maybe my post will liven > things up a > bit!! hehe > > Just came from seeing the surgeon...he took out the > stitches and > everything.....not very fun! > > but, on the other hand....he finally heard back from > pathology @ the > hospital---AND they DID find cancer in the lobe! > > The right lobe was 10x larger than normal and the left > side was 4x > larger.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 - I'm so glad you had the cancer removed and you're getting healthy! Do you have to have any other treatments (radiation?) Thanks for keeping us updated. Good luck with the endo.

I've got the beginning of a cold, which seems to happen a lot, but then it's like I just kick them really easily. For a day or so I'll have a sore throat and feel really draggy and tired (like right now, I should be at the gym but guess where I am?). But then it will just go away. It's been like this since I've had Hashi's as well. Hardly ever get the flu or anything, even when all my kids get sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 I've got the beginning of a cold, which > seems to happen a lot, but then it's like I just kick them really > easily. Yes! That's exactly what happens to me... I think this time the only reason I actually got a bad cold was because I totally wore myself down this past weekend -- lots of stress, very little sleep, which hasn't happened in a long time. I felt terrible and even had a bit of a temperature on day 1 (Monday), now after sleeping 11 hours (finally) last night, I have just a little sinus stuffiness. So maybe we have one advantage because of this disease! I think others on here have said they actually get colds more often now though..?
