Re: graves_support] Allergies & Limits

July 16, 2001

Gayla,

I developed several severe food allergies. Those were actually

diagnosed before my GD. My other allergies worsened as well, pollen

etc.

Most noticably though were the food. A blood test was done to find

them. Since I have been on PTU for 9 months and completely changed my

diet I am feeling better, but it's still up and down.

Regulating medication can be a real bitch, but still I am grateful, I

believe the meds have saved me.

I haven't worked since last October. Am just now feeling ready to work

again. Dont get me wrong, I am on the mend, and I dont mean to sound

like a downer, but I had to change most every part of my life to

accomodate this illness and have discovered that much of my recovery

and healing has had to come from a positive desire within myself to be

well.

keep up the research, it's your best weapon.

Good luck

Val

A good natural allergy site is www.naet.com or .org I don't remember for

sure, try them both.

You may be able to get a temporary handicap sticker, your dr. or endo will

have to do the paper work, try it Gayla.

Did you call your dr. yesterday to get into your endo quicker?

Take care,

Jody
