Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 The more that we can kick stuff back and forth.. and the more folks that take a peek.. the more ideas we'll come up with... I've seen that happen a LOT here..... As long as you're not selling stuff.... if you want an opinion from others about something that you've seen, or tried something that you'd like to share the good or bad of... we encourage you to share the info (links, names, descriptions)... if you're in doubt about something... contact or me and we'll give you our ThyroMusketeer blessing and then you, or we, can post the info. Same goes for links for subjects that we are discussing.. or groups that are involved in a topic under discussion.. like the lymph groups that I listed earlier this week and the stuff from the Australian web site the other day.... (but remember, no selling, nothing that is not family friendly, and no plugging other groups cause you think its okay to plug groups) Keep notes on yourself.. How you are feeling. Dosage changes. A change (addition or subtraction) of a supplement... Stuff like that... it makes it easier to remember stuff later. I was using a program called SmartDiary. The free version does everything I needed... if you buy the registered version you can chart a lot more stuff... it's a diary, and you can chart moods, your period.. all kinds of stuff... I might have it in the files section off the group home page... if not, you should be able to google it. It's pass worded so you can do it on the puter and no one else can snoop. (It's okay to list software that pertains to a discussion, too, just don't go crazy.... and no selling - cause if selling were okay, well, I'd plug my stuff! hehehehehehe) Vericose and spider veins.. I've seen them listed as being thyroid related.. I have a few around my knees, spider veins, that is..... No question is crazy... it might just tweak someone's brain to come up with the magic answer... so share your thoughts...... I'm not sure about holistic stuff... maybe others have a better info level on that....

It is going to take me a little bit of time to do all the reading I need to do before I go in for the next apptmt. The least I can do is have a list of questions and tests which the replies I have had from this group helped. I think I do need to read up though. You mentioned supplements, I was thinking back and there was a supplement I was taking during April and I stopped when I went on vacation and completely forgot about it afterwords. I read up on it a bit. It is supposed to give adrenal support and regulate thyroid (according to my mom ...). Oh is there any rule about not posting names of nutritional supplements here? I have dug that up and restarted on those. I know there are top doc sites for the thyroid for western medicine. Is there any such sites for holistic methods as well? I know that meditation would possibly help me especially when things get real stressful at work. Oh, this might sound like an odd question, but are varicose veins and thyroid in anyway related? There were a few posts earlier today about the doc not treating a TSH of 5. My first endo did not believe in treating anybody with a TSH of below 10 and said it was a norm. Ofcourse I did not know any better then. Anyways, have a good weekend Arthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 I think that that may be the one, but I'm not really sure. I just know that there is another antibody that diagnoses the Graves, but the antithyroidperoxidase is also involved. Re: New and Questions. > , > > Do you mean TSI?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Run as far away from this endo as you possibly can, barring you have the energy to. Crawl if you have to, and carry a big stick.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hi , ================================ > > As long as you're not selling stuff.... if you want an opinion from > others about something that you've seen, or tried something that you'd > like to share the good or bad of... we encourage you to share the info > (links, names, descriptions)... =============================== Nope not selling anything. Just want an opinion/experiences. The name of the herb is " Withania Somnifera " . I have seen some websites say that if you are hyper, dont use this herb. I have also seen some websites where the person is treated for hyperthyroidism with this herb (along with a bunch of others). I am also told (my mom) that it regulates the thyroid. I restarted this a couple of days back (I think wednesday). I felt absolutely great saturday and sunday. I doubt this has anything to do with the supplement as most herbal stuff (from what I have heard) takes atleast a week to take effect. I still have muscle aches but my mood is great (its like something lifted off my mind; I was depressed for a month or so before this...if you remember from some of my earlier posts). I slept great the last two days....When I woke up I was awake (not doing the zombie thing I normally do). I am wondering if I am on the way from one end of the thyroid spectrum to another and these two days are just a lull before the storm or whether its something to do with the supplement! thanks, Arthy.
