JAMY -- Re: 5-htp

[Guest guest]

With Hashi and Graves I take 5-htp.

Hi Jamy,

I'm a Graves/Hashi mix too... Good to meet you! :-)

I like to supplement with small amounts of 5-htp too, and have found

that Vitamin D (which is actually a hormone) helps to combat many

of the symptoms. From spring thru fall, I live in shorts and

sleeveless tops -- soaking up the free Vitamin D from the sun.

(We have a gorgeous and productive heirloom veggie garden.)

This summer, my family teased me about my dark, dark, really dark

tanned skin -- but who cares? At least I was not suffering with

those dang panic attacks, everytime the old thyroid swung into HYPER!

Now that Old Man Winter has arrived in Arizona, I'll be grabbing the

bottle of 5-htp again and drinking lots of milk (for Vit. D).

Hope YOU are feeling terrific. Nice to " meet " you, Jamy!
