Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 I always thought that having thyroid deficiency was so cool...a major problem cured with one simple pill a day.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 I've been taking Synthroid for 30+ years. Are you sure you're type 2? Well, that's what the doctors say... I'm not sure of anything :-) Are you overweight? I think so..... I need to lose about 25 lbs. Insulin resistant? Yup... What pills are you taking and are they working? Amaryl, and nope, it isn't working. How long since your diagnosis? It will be 4 years this summer, but I go to the doctor every 3 mos. for testing.

Vicki, It doesn't surprise me, as years ago I took a course called " Disease Processes of Man " , and I remember studying about the auto-immune diseases. I seem to recall that once they start, one thing after another falls apart. At least, it's been that way with me.... Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2002 Report Share Posted January 16, 2002 Must've been years ago...they wouldn't dare title a course that way now, gotta be PC (politically correct)...smile.. and yes, you're correct, once you have one autoimmune dise it puts you in line for a whole bunch of other weird autoimmune stuff. Besides Sjogren's and hypothyroidism, I now have granuloma annulare, which involves painless but ugly bumps on my knuckles, elbows, knees, feet and other places I won't mention. I'm sure it's auto-immune related although I went to an endo who said he'd never seen such an array. Anyone else here have it?? .Vicki << Vicki, It doesn't surprise me, as years ago I took a course called " Disease Processes of Man " , and I remember studying about the auto-immune diseases.
