Re: Couple of Questions for All

[Guest guest]

Hi, Kris, I'm Annie. I joined last week, but I haven't wrote here

before. This sounds like classic signs of low thyroid, or

hypothyroid. There's a simple blood test the doctor does to test the

TSH, and then they subscribe a daily pill that you take the rest of

your life, usually.

I've had hypothyroidism for 20 years, I still have problems with

fatigue, cold, etc., but it's better than not being on the thyroid

hormone replacement. I hope you have better results, if this is the

problem.

I've had chronic pain for 27 years. Neck pain, face pain, headaches,

some back pain. I've lost friends, a husband, and I isolate alot

because I get so tired of people not believing me. I've had 2 jaw

surgeries, years of dental braces, years of chiropractic, and years

before that of seeing MDs that either couldn't help me or don't

believe me. So I haven't talked to an MD about my pain for a long

time. Maybe someday when I run out of Vicodin. With a very controlled

life, luckily I don't have to take it more than 2-3 times per month.

But reading all the posts for a week, I'm thinking maybe I could feel

better with different RXs.

I'm happy to have found this group and I hope to get to know everyone.

Please mention this to the Dr. and ask to have a thyroid function

test. Everything you mention points to a dysfunctional thyroid.
