can one tell me why some would be rejected from joining here? I to be not

understand of that? If a person who is parent to a girl child LFA be to

apply why would she be of denied access? Not want to start of trouble but

not understand of this.

Sondra

[Guest guest]

It was from a person to not know well but she to asked of this group and I

to send her link and she was denied but not know why? So was wondering if

there is reason for not being allowed here , like if one has to meet certain

criteria like my connecting2worlds list. I to have strict set guidelines of

who can join and who cannot. Like my list you have to be on spectrum or a

professional who is dedicating their work into the areas of autism to help

of us, such as psychology , educational fields and things of this, but not

knowed if this list is set the same way. Been here too long to know.

Sondra

[Guest guest]

Sondra, here is what it says on the main page for our group:

Restricted membership! This list is for all parents and professionals

who wish to exchange information regarding treatment of autism in

girls, how autism effect females in the family, and any other issues

dealing with autism and females and/or the comparison of males and

females with autism.

Perhaps there was some techinical reason she was denied? It must be a

mistake...

Hi Carey,

I too can't wear contacts because of dry eyes. Yes I am sure this is another part to our Stills. LOL I don't feel like anytime soon I will stop having doctors calling me with more pills to take. Got one yesterday and again this morning. I could start my own drug store. LOL

Empress,

You are impressive with your list of diseases/syndromes/whatnots!

Amazing what can happen to just one person.

You mention numb hands. Can you explain what happens to you a

little more with the numb hands and anything your doctors have said

about that? Other than hte insanely dry lips and feet, the numb

hands are worrying me the most.

LOL. My list is now so impressive that my newest doctor wished not

to have seen it and just tossed it. (into the chart with not much

more than a glance at the length and said it was too overwhelming.

For who? ME who lives with it or him who just " looks " at it?) Said

it was too much to focus on and did an initial analysis from the

beginning just to have a personal referance point. (Do I really want

to go back to the beginning? Hey, she's great so what so I care?)

my Rheumy put me on Evoxac for the too dry " everything " syndrome and

it seems to help. Now if I could just get the excessive drooling and

dripping " everything " under control we would be set. LOL

> Hmm, maybe that's how it works.... you drool all over your dry

get to have not only numb hand. but wet hands to boot....so I drop

interesting. LOL

> Is there any relation between hypo-thyroid and diabetes?

_____________________

Yes there is. In hypothyroidism, you can develope blood sugar

problems that eventually lead to insulin resistance. When there is

not enough thyroid in the blood, the adrenals eventually become weak

and do not make sufficient cortisol. Without this, then the body is

unable to properly regulate blood sugar and unable to use it.

Insulin resistance can develope from this over time. Also, when

thyroid levels are low, pancreatic output declines. I am one of

those. Hypos are very susceptible to developing leaky gut or

digestive system dammage. The lining of the intestines must be

replaced every 4 days. But, in hypothyroidism this is slowed down

and eventually the digestive system looses it's integrity. Stomach

acid and digestive enzymes are low in hypothyroidism leading to the

inability to fight off pathogens and eventually lead to parasitic,

bacterial and fungal infections in the digestive system. All these

things lead to lots of inflammation, which affects the pancreas and

works to overburden the adrenals to put out lots of cortisol to help

control the inflammation and increase healing. This then can lead to

blood sugar problems. Hypothyroidism also causes the build up of

polysacharrides in cells. Polysacharrides are sugars and they are

oxidative and damaging to tissues and lead to premature aging of

cells in the body. As cells age, they become more insulin resistant.

Thanks, Tish, for your answer. You are very knowledgeable.

I asked this because last year I was diagnosed with diabetes and I often

notice that when I feel my hypo symptoms worsen, my diabetes seems to

worsen, too. I also suffer with digestive problems, which also fluctuate.

I am taking herbs from India for the diabetes, as the meds from the

doctor only made me feel worse and they didn't lower my sugar. When I

watch my diet and take the herbs, I do well, but lately, I've been bad

and have eaten junk again and have begun to notice my sugar levels rising

again. Of course, I have often wondered about my adrenals. I have never

had a doctor test me for adrenal fatigue or failure, but I have had a

reflexologist tell me that my adrenals weren't functioning properly. It

makes sense to me, though, since I am dead tired in the morning and yet

wide awake late at night. I try very hard to get up early and get to bed

early - I even fall asleep in front of the tv when watching it with my

family in the evenings, yet around 10 pm, when I tuck my daughter into

bed, I find myself unable to go back to sleep. I fight being awake all

night long. I am so exhausted it's not funny. My doctor associated my

fatigue with the diabetes and possibly the thyroid, but I've suffered

with this type of sleep pattern way before I was diagnosed with diabetes.

Do you or anyone else recommend any particular tests that I should

consider having my doctor run? If I lived in or around Lubbock, I'd go

see Dr. in a heart beat. I have noticed my the ends of my

fingers go numb easily and they get cold easily, too. I still lose my

hair, though not as badly now. Too bad we all can't just get a

prescription filled at Walgreens for a new body. Oh well.

Thanks all,

You always explain everything so thoroughly! Thank you for that!

Your note made me realize that maybe part of the reason my

triglycerides are up is because of hypothyroidism. That, and the

continual digestive problems. Please tell me that blood sugar,

cholesterol, and digestive problems can clear up once a person has

been on an optimal dose of Armour for awhile~

Doesn't she. I think she's been spendin too much time with the copywriters when she was 'sposed to be graphically designin. And I think the juicing thing, with wheatgrass preferably, helps your digestive/absorbtion problems. Get you a juicer . And if your realy bad, juice some garilc with it, ....wheeeww, it's radioactive.

Re: question

Tish,You always explain everything so thoroughly! Thank you for that! Your note made me realize that maybe part of the reason my triglycerides are up is because of hypothyroidism. That, and the continual digestive problems. Please tell me that blood sugar, cholesterol, and digestive problems can clear up once a person has been on an optimal dose of Armour for awhile~Thanks.> > > > Is there any relation between hypo-thyroid and diabetes?> _____________________> > Yes there is.
