And periods of depression and anxiety. Had the OCD stuff. Sad thing...she told me the week before she died that she was " through with doctors " ....they never helped her.... I wonder how many other suicides have occurred because of undiagnosed thyroid disease. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 This is making me wonder - I have a good friend who has severe Rheumatoid Arthritus. One morning she woke up, and couldn't get out of bed. They have treated here with all sorts of drugs. At first, they diagnosed her with a rare virus and said it would take a year to recover. Her aunt was also diagnosed at about the same time. At this point, she's on some powerful drugs, just to function. I'll have to ask her if they've ever done thyroid workups on her. I doubt that they have!! Cris Re: Re: Lab interpretations Hello d_timmsjosey, d> WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS? I was diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis 20 years ago. however i am positive it was an early attack of hashiomotos -my TSH was 3.6 at the time but that was 'normal' i have exactly the same arthritic-type symptoms now and i don't think its a co-incidence that the pains are back now that I'm severely hypothyroid. -- Best regards, Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com mailto:alison.ashwell@... new work uploaded http://www.artwanted.com/alisonashwell http://www.voodoochilli.net/artists/alisonashwell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
