Re: help with coping

December 21, 2006

I've been on pred about 3 months now. Before that it was HC for 2 years.

Another wierd thing. Ever since I was put on t4 and then armour i have not been

able to

drink alcohol. Actually even the year before my dx. It's not that I need to

drink the stuff -

but occasionally I like a glass of red with my dinner. But now that I've

stopped my armour,

the very next day I was able to drink wine again. No more headaches or vomiting

after

just 1 sip. But I'm still sweating like crazy.

If a person who has normal thyroid function takes thyroid meds they will become

hyper at

much less than 3 - 5 grains. But more importantly is that my system was/is

hypermetabolising (don't know if that's really a word) - the pred goes right

through me.

Anyway, until I clear my system of armour we won't know for sure whats going on.

I just

need to figure how to survive the next few months. They're aren't words to

describe how

I'm feeling right now - the unrest and inner turmoil - like I'm about to

explode. I've bitten

all of my nails off. I'm not normally a nail biter. Like I just drank 200 cups

of coffee then

had more injected directly into my veins.

Nerve pills eh? Good idea, I'll see what I can find.
