Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Carol, I didn't know you suffered with hypER. So did I until 2 yrs ago and it was hard on me through my life and I didn't know I had it. All the paramedic calls for my heart and tachachardia through the years and they didn't think to give me a blood test? So I was hyper for endless yrs w/out medication. Can you imagine? Yes, these doctors do what they want and do not tell us there are options. I have breathing problems too in the sense I get breathless on stairs or an incline, and I have a cup of coffee too in the morn, I can't give it up. I gave it up for 20 yrs and I love having it now. M metioned the Himalayan sea salt and now you. I do use table salt but I will switch tomorrow. And BTW my blood pressure is low, like 110 over 70 and can be lower a bit. I had no idea you suffered so much Carol. As we said, it's good to know you are not alone and someone understands. I'm just mad they removed your thyroid, but I've learned to let go and leave it to God and just do the best I can and you have. Big hug and lots of love, Jean > > > > > > > Good Morning ) > > > > > > Thanks for the email last night, yes it does feel good knowing your not alone, although I wouldnt wish my health apon anyone. I was on the other end of the scale, you have hypothyroid and I was hyperthyroid. I had a multinodular goiter that seemed to be alive when it was time for biopsys. I lived with it for years, but then all of a sudden it started growing, and the doctor wanted it removed immediately. I had been quite thin but had gained quite abit of weight since I had last seen that doctor. I guess we never took it into consideration that it might have gotten bigger because I had gotten bigger, but anyways it was removed, and I have suffered ever since. The goiter was first actually discovered back when I was first ranting and raving to the doctors that there was something wrong with me, and while I was being diagnosed with Fibro & CFS they also discovered this goiter. It freaked me out to be honest, because I hadnt even noticed myself that it was there. I wish I knew back then about alternative medicine and other ways of going about stuff, but I was ignorant to all of this back then and thought that doctors were to be trusted. I was never offered alternative ways to maybe fix the problem like to try iodine or anything. > > Soon after they took it out I went into a state of hypo.... I freaked out, my chest was hurting so badly, my hair was falling out and I felt like I couldnt breath properly. I still suffer with the breathing problems quite often, but the doctors don't know what is causing it. I smoke, so I'm sure that, that does not help what so ever, but I'm convinced that it has something to do with defiencys or something else, because some days I'm quite fine. I take 125mcg of Synthroid every day in the morning, I function better towards the hyper end of the scale as far as my T4 is concerned. So I guess because I function better at that end of the scale I am abit more sensitive to the VCO and easily get heart palpitations. At least this is what I think anyways. > > I'm also a coffee drinker, I have to have a cup soon after I have taking my synthroid with water or I feel like I just can't function... I'm sure thats just in my head, but I still indulge with the coffee in the mornings. I have cut back alot though, as I used to drink it through out the day, but I can't do that anymore, and my body soon lets me know by yelling at me... I will find myself gritting my teeth or get a feeling over being overwhelmed, and so I try to just stick with coffee in the mornings now a days. > > as far as salt is concerned, most people with Fibro have low blood pressure, and salt intake is good for us. However please don't do regular table salt, as that is NOT good for you what so ever. Either buy natural sea salt or buy himalayan salt because you just can't beat the 84 different minerals it provides for you. I use the hymalayan salt in all of my cooking, in salads and just about anything that I eat that would require abit of salt. I have also been drinking herbal teas. I bought some herbs off of mountainroseherbs online like nettle, blue violet leaf, burdock and a few others. There's a tea called Gynostemma that comes from china and is super good food you, so I have been indulging in that too. Seems like I try a little bit of everything these days trying to help myself. This is why I love all of you, because it helps to know what everyone is doing too. > > > > Have a fantastic day everyone. > > Lots of love, > > Carol > > > > To: fibromyalgiacured > From: astralstargazer@... > Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2010 01:31:21 +0000 > Subject: Carol - Link for you... > > > > > > Hi Carol, > > This link might be of interest to you as it addresses VCO and thyroid and other things for thyroid.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi , I have been reading the Bible since I was 15 yrs old and I'm going to be 67 tomorrow. (August 25th here in Australia) I wanted to be saved but didn't know how. Then the Lord showed me Himself, that it wasn't hard, and faith was pure belief in His word. Once I realised what faith was, the Lord became very close to me. In one week I'd received Peace, then Love, then last but certainly not least, Joy. Each one of these precious gifts filled me with so much new life that it was impossible to feel sad or bad. I received healings too over the years. Even when my late ex husband left me though at first I begged him not to leave, he did anyway. He also became a Christian after his second and third wives left him and kicked him out. I no longer loved him like I had but I took him in when he got a caravan which we parked in the driveway and he lived in that for a few years. He went to church meetings every week then. He had only changed on the surface but God still took him in. The day he died, his pastor picked him and his belongings up from my place and drove him and his caravan up to the next town where he was going to live permanently. Well, he never got there as he had a heart attack and died on the way. That night when I was sitting at the computer here, I saw a brown sparkling square shape above the computer. It was looking sort of 'alive'. It just hovered above the computer and I suddenly had a thought. Seeing as it was the day he died I said " Is that you Pete? " With that the sparkling square dropped down in front of the computer monitor. I was amazed. Then later that night when I was in bed reading for a while, I turned to switch my bedside lamp off and he gently rubbed the small of my back and left. It was his " Goodbye " . Well, I'm glad he made it to heaven. My son and daughter are both born again Christians too. I'm so glad of that. My daughter goes to church every Sunday in the town where she lives about 12 miles away from me. Her eldest son is a devout Christian and he's living permanently in Scotland now and is a Pastor. He's going to start a church over there. It's amazing how things work out isn't it? My son doesn't go to church but he watches many Christian programs on tv. I think he'd go to church if I went too. But there's no really decent church here where I live. Prayer has helped me also with the Fibro. I also pray for many others who request prayer for their illnesses. In fact I rarely feel any pain anymore with the Fibromyalgia It's so strange but it's wonderful. Well better go and phone a friend over in Phoenix. Love and God bless, (Australia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
