RE: Re: Newbie ~~Hi Nikki

[Guest guest]

Id much rather correct. I just am not even sure where to

start or what exactly is going on

With myself. I am taking medicine for the diabetes incipitus,

synthroid for the thyroid and Zoloft for the depression. I have been

trying to cope with many of the other issues like infertility, ibs, mood swings,

etc but I am tired and quite frankly ready to just give up trying and just let

it take over what little it hasn’t already. I don’t want to

seem like a complainer or a hypochondriac when I talk to my friends and family

but I need to fix it. I am too young to be on the path that I am and I

feel like there is more proactive ways to attack back.

I am not familiar with armour?

Thanks!!!

Nikki

With regards to your pituitary tumor, being

removed and growing back;

what i understand about the body is if you don't change what CAUSED

the tumor in the first place it WILL grow right back ( as you have

experienced). So it's a whole new world when you begin to look at

HOW the body works and functions.

Do you want to correct your bodies responses to illness or are you

just looking to " cope " with symptoms?

Depending on that answer, you can find support here on this board.

I run a board in yahoo for anyone looking to heal completely from an

illness or dis-ease. We talk about the body, mind, spirit connection

and what we can DO to heal our bodies back to a state of balance and

health. I personally was diagnosed with Hashimoto's the beginning of

November of last year. I was on 180 mg of Armour. I am currently on

90 mg of Armour and had blood drawn yesterday ( testing for diabetes,

pernicious anemia, B-12 levels, iron, free T4 and T3 and TSH). I am

on my way to getting off Armour ( the only medicine I take). I do

not think I have pernicious anemia or diabetes, my Naturopath is

testing to just " make sure " .

I wish you well on your journey.

This board is a great resource so ask all the questions you

have...someone will answer...and if they don't know the answer they

may be able to point you in a direction.

Be well!
