Thanks I appreciate the help. For what ever reason I have myself

on this 2 hr plan, every 2 hrs I either do protein or Vitamins. I didn't

realize you could take your protein and Vitamins so close together. I think

I'll keep that up but now be able to add more protein than normal. I'm

excited now.

Love,

Theresa

Re: Question

How soon after/before your Protein drink do you start

eating?

************ I drink as I prepare or drive to the meal, so ? 10-15 min?

BEFORE

How soon after/before your Protein drink do you take

vitamins?

********** I take my vites with meals

Can one take vitamins and a protein drink in one setting?

************* yep, as long as there is not milk or caffeine. Those mess

with iron. Otherwise, yep.

Can one take protein drink and then eat w/ in 1/2 hr

span?

********** as long as the protein comes first.

Thanks

Love,

Hi Sharls

It probably has everything to do with it, given the facts that (1)you have a nodule (2)Hashimoto's Thyroiditis runs in your family (3)autoimmune thyroiditis's, period, seems to introduce many other things, including ecxemas. Was the doctor aware of what the psych doc said about the autoimmune thing? If he was, you more than likely had the antibodies tests run, but don't guess----ask. Always take charge of what's going on with you medically, it's your body. Don't just take tests blindly, not knowing what they're about. Talk to your doctor to find out these things. If he/she is a good doctor, they won't mind discussing these things with you. It is very important. Hashimoto's is a thyroid disease, and thyroid difficulties also have something to di with depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc...

Question

Basically what I am wondering is if eczema and thyroid problems are related to each other….if you a to the point type of person.…if you don’t mind rambling here is my little story J Thanks……Hi, I joined this list a few weeks ago because of my daughter whom is 7, tested for elevated antibodies. That is all on hold until October when she sees a specialist. Anyway, During a check up with me the doctor felt a nodule on my left side that was tender. I have an ultrasound next week. I also had blood drawn today testing my levels. I really don’t know if they ran the same test as they did on my daughter checking the antibody levels. I know her t3 t4 were in normal range. Hashi? Hoshi??? Runs in my family. What I wanted to ask was two weeks ago I started having skin problems on my fingers. My hands are blistered, I was just diagnosed with eczema and am using a topical steroid that is helping some. While visiting a shrink today (LOL he was asking what meds I was on, so I let him know about the steroid), anyway, he said that eczema that comes on like it did with me says I have an autoimmune problem. He told me not to leave the hospital until I had my blood drawn/thyroid tests done that my reg Dr ordered before. So, I finally stayed and after 3 sticks they were able to draw. Do these two things have anything to do with each other? I haven’t been diagnosed with anything except this sudden eczema, oh and given paxil for my ups and downs. Thanks

Hi , thanks

for your email. No my doctor didn’t know what they psych had to say when

he ordered the blood tests, even at that time the eczema was just starting and

we were not really sure if that’s what it was either. He did know about

my daughters antibody test though, but he seemed not

to know what I was talking about. Still working on the doctor relationship, I don’t

have many choices though. We are military, and new in

this area and hospital. So its still in the works J I have learned to take control of my children’s healthcare,

but I am not so good at my own yet. I think I will make an appt Monday since my

hands are still getting new blisters, hopefully the labs will be in, and we can

talk thyroid to. My next planned appointment is a week after my ultrasound

which isn’t until the 9th. I just wish I knew what has been

wrong with me for many years now. Thanks for listening.

Thanks,

Sharla

Hi Sharla, I just wanted to say that during the time I was so

undermedicated for my hashimoto's, I experienced some skin problems

that, at the time, were assumed to be due to an allergic reaction to

something, and they continued on and off for quite a while. My hands

and feet had tiny blisters that were unbearably itchy. My doc never

said that it could be thyroid related, but as I am trying to educate

myself, I am learning that the untreated thyroid can be responsible

for a truckload of problems. Also, you spoke about your ups and

downs...this too is very common with those suffering with

undermedicated or untreated TD. I was on Prozac for years...until I

finally found someone who got my levels into ranges that were best

for me.

Sassy,

I agree with Dash. You need to see your doc ASAP.

I'm sure it was very scary for you at the time...please get it checked out.

Good luck,

Kay

[Guest guest]

Run, do not walk, do not pass go, to your doctor. That sounds like it could be

something very dangerous like a stroke. Get it checked. Do not want to scare u

too much but enuf to go to doc. They are not gods but maybe can find out what

is wrong. ((((((hugs)))))) dash

Question

I have a question........ A couple of nights ago, i was sitting here at my

computer and all of a suddon i got a major pain in the top of my head and i

couldn't comprahend what was being said, i couldn't understand anything on the

screen. My right hand went numb and i couldn't move. I remember everything. But

i've never been that scared in my whole life. I've never been to the point to

where i couldn't comprehend anything. I felt so lost and alone.

Any help with this ?

told me it was a form of a Migrane.

[Guest guest]

Yes some forms of migraines called cluster migraines will hit out of

the blue and can cause visual disturbances and depending on which

area of the brain the constriction is at can numb different areas

of the body..How long did it last? Have you had migraines in the

past? I'm an old hat at cluster migraines..used to hit me way back

when I was 12-13 after I started ovulating. They can be very

viscious. Mine would hit on my right side only, Then I get nausous,

throw up and pass out...all with in 5-10 min. I'd scare everyone

shitless. All I remember is the pain and not wanting to be

awake..lol only problem is it would usualy be there when I woke up

minutes later..

I'd watch and see if you have any follow up headaches and if you

do let your Dr. know at once! Because, and I've posted on this

before..there are other causes for the symptoms you stated..the

worst being a stroke or small blood clot in a vessel in your brain

that can cause those same symptoms. Make sure to note what you were

doing-feeling-etc. before they hit. Some migraines are tension-some

are allergy- or menstrual- certain foods can trigger migraines such

as cheese or chocolate.....Mine was junior mints...To this day I

still can't eat them without paying the price.

Hopefully you'll never have another one but if you do...let

your Dr. know at once. There are some safe meds out there that

really help.

Just Me... K

Go to the doctor and have your blood pressure checked and see it it wasn't a

stroke or a mini-stroke. Don't want to scare you but my grandmom used to

get them. They, for her, were mini-strokes.

Hi Cheryl, Diane, this person has contacted me several times, so thought I would forward this email on.

Sandy, I still can't get into the group area on the Internet. I registered some time ago but keep getting the message that "membership is pending." I do seem to be getting e-mails that include recent postings people have put up. Strange.

I was relunctant to ask this question thinking it might sound really silly but

to me it would be helpful since I have fears of medical procedures and still

don't know much about my tethered cord, like what can cause me more pain

etc......

I'm going for my first colonoscopy on Monday December 28 can any damage be done

to my lower spine from getting this done or cause any extra pain, I told the

doctor that I have a Lipoma with tethered cord and honestly he never heard of

it, I'm going to remind him to be careful with my lower spine and putting me in

different positions as it may cause more pain...has anyone had an colonoscopy

without any problems afterward like pains in the spine or whatever you

experience....I'm going to do my best to keep this appointment I'm 4 years pass

due...

[Guest guest]

Trust me (from recent experience): while a colonoscopy is not a pleasurable

experience the tethered cord has no relevance for this procedure. Ask for

something to calm you (such as valium) since it is a nerve-racking and

uncomfortable experience. Good luck!

I had one recently and brother you do not want to be anywhere other than the

bathroom after you drink that laxitive. If you are like me and have a " touchy "

bowel you best get a good book, sit down and dont move as there is very little

warning if any! You will definitely be 10 lbs lighter when its all over.
