Re: Informal Research-first report

I see some strong correlations here, especially with the antidepressants, pain killers, female hormones, but of course, this isn't the majority of folks posted yet, and the diagnoses isn't with each correlation either. That would be a very difficult chart to establish with both cause and effect broken down.

Informal Research-first report

Hi, All!

So far we have had 39 women and one man respond to my survey. I will update it as more folks weigh-in. But here is what we have so far. I have grouped antidepressants, tranquilizers and anti-anxiety meds together. Likewise diet pills and amphetamines or uppers are one group. Anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxants are grouped with pain meds.

My main point is just that docs would rather treat the symptoms than give some real help for the cause. wrote:

Hey Jan

Great Work!

I was wondering how many were diagnosis with Asthma & or COPD, and if so where they hmmmmmm cured once they were medicated correctly and feeling great (as great as one can feel with hashi's and hypo)? I'm not sure if I will ever begain feeling some-what better! not wanting pity just want to start getting better, I have tried to work at my computer a couple times today and both times my eyes were slowly closing and I would have to quit and go lay down. I was able to go and take care of the animals this am, -horses, goats, chickens and the rest of the animals!!

Thank You for all that you do

Roxanne when I was a child and more than likely hyprethyroid, had all the symptoms, I was DX'd with Asthma. I do not now have it at all. I have had to learn to avoid chlorine in every way possible as it was a major trigger for this symptom. I learned not to drink from the tap anywhere and everything water I drank had to be heated to boiling first, as in coffee & tea. Now I buy bottled water for myself & my cats as I have a hypo kitty that is also sensitive to chlorine! I am feeling better, slowly, so hang in there, sometimes there is hope for us severely hypo people!

Thank you , it will be interesting to see how many have or have been diagnosis with thie asthma, I was diagnosis with this a week and a half ago and given an inhaler and it works if I seat and do nothing most of the time, but if I take it and do normal things like chores, housework and exercise I feel like if I take the whole inhaler it won't help! lol I'm hoping that once I get the right medication I can get rid of the inhalers.

I think I am the only one diagnosed with asthma at one time. I now know that it was thyroid-related breathing problems. You can read for yourself on our site, because all but one person posted their answers directly to the group. Roxanne wrote:

Oh my goodness, I have forgotten (imagine that!) but my GP years ago

back in '94 I believe, gave me a few samples of an inhaler to take.

I was having trouble breathing or getting my breath. Now I KNOW it

was my thyroid. I do not have asthma. I never did take the inhaler

as I was too scared to.

I hope so too Roxanne that it is just your meds needing to be

tweaked. I think that was my problem for sure.
