Jean (thyroid Imbalance)

July 10, 2010

Hi

Hope your feeling better! Did you have your thyroid removed? I have been

reading your posts, I am also having to take thyroid medicine every single day.

Its kind of crazy to think of how much the thyroid actually controls in ones

body. Metabolism, temperature, heart rate and so on... I didnt realize all of

this until mine had to come out. So I can totally feel your pain when you say

that you really have bad days. Have you had your levels checked lately? I know

that when my levels are completely out of whack my hair falls out, dry skin,

chest pains and trouble thinking is just a few of the problems that I endure.

Last summer I started having feels of anxiety when I went out, and problems

breathing it felt like. I thought that I was becoming like my Mother was at this

age and she had suffered with agoraphobia... afraid to go out in public places,

because I litterally didnt want to stray too far from home. But with some

research I had discovered that I was anemic, and the anemia was causing all of

the strange new symptoms. It makes me wonder now if that my Mother was just

actually anemic herself back then, because her Agoraphobia subsided after she

moved back to England. But also at the same time she was just going through

Menopause. I have fibroids in my Uterus, so I'm sure thats probably causing the

anemia, but since I have been taking iron replacement I feel alot better. I am

also rubbing like a dab of natural progesterone on me twice a day now to help me

regulate hormones. It seems to be helping the bloating go down alot, so thats

been a plus.

I wish we could all find a miracle cure to make us all feel better, I'm so glad

that we have each other to keep us going and to help us all learn new things

that we are trying.

Big hugs your way,

Carol
