Guest guest Posted July 8, 2000 Report Share Posted July 8, 2000 , I'm happy to hear you're doing well. I was surprised by all they had to do but thankfully it's done now and you have some answers. I'm curious about the cysts you had. Do you know what they are called? I wish you a speedy recovery. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Don't worry about the emails. I can't imagine how many you have to go through. I hope it's not too overwhelming for you! (((((((HUGS))))))), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2000 Report Share Posted July 25, 2000 , I am glad your appt went well and that you are okay w/waiting until Sept. Especialy after having surgery you don't want to get another cyst. Can you ttc on your own for the next few cycles? At least you know since having the surgery you have a better chance. Thats a bummer that your dr is leaving. I hate that. I even cried when my hairdresser moved. You get attached. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 WoWWee! That is fantastic! Good job! I took the metabolife generic for awhile and agree that it does help. I got scared and quit taking it after seeing all the stuff on TV about it. To my amazement, I didn't even need it anymore. If your heart feels like it's racing then you should cut your dosage down to half and see if that helps. Just be careful with those ephedra products, please. > Finally!!!! I've lost 15 lbs!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Does taking the metabolife help with your weight loss? Please explain to me what the benefits are of taking them, i looked at them today at a nearby pharmacy, but then put them down, because i wasnt sure if i should just follow the WW Program. > > Finally!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 I TOOK METABOLIFE ABOUT A YR AND A HALF AGO FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS OR SO UNTIL I COLLAPSED AND HAD TO BE RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL THEY FOUND I HAD SUPER LOW BLOOD PRESSURE. THE DOCTORS DIDNT DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTE IT TO THE METABOLIFE BUT I WOULD THINK THAT IN ALL THE HUNDREDS OF TIMES I HAD BEEN TO THE DOCTOR IN MY LIFE THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND IT OR TOLD ME ABOUT THAT CONDITION LONG BEFORE. WHO KNOWS? I DONT THINK ITS WORTH THE RISKS IN THE LONG RUN. GOOD LUCK AND BE SAFE IF YOU TRY IT. ~ANA~ __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 Thank you all for your help. I will talk to the doc about this CORTIF stuff since that seems to help many. I have been sleep ok for the last two nights. I don't wake up rested like I used to. The tingling in my hands seems to be much better for whatever reason. Will keep you all posted. gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 , do you work with any kinds of poisons, insecticides, chemicals of any kind? I know that you have definitely been a puzzle for several months now, to me, and I am just trying to think of anything that may help. Chemical sensitivities can develop from one exposure to something that is detrimental to human health. That said, I know it is one more thing to worry about, but it might be a long shot to be looking at that. Anything? 's update > > > Thank you all for your help.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hi , I don't work around any poison, but I did go thru a MAJOR problem of withdrawal from Ativan *similar to Valium* that took many months to do last year. The people on the benzo yahoo group were suprised that I had such a horrible withdrawal from being on the lowest dose of anyone in the group. So you see I am very sensitive to everything. And having OCD does not help either. > , do you work with any kinds of poisons, insecticides, chemicals of any > kind?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 , did you know that in all the literature about withdrawal from benzodiazepines, that it is not the amt of drug that has been taken regularly, it is the regularity and length of time that it was taken? I was on Xanax on and off, just 1/4 mg, I think the tiniest dose available, for about 2 or 3 yrs. I wasn't even taking it every day or night, just a few times a week, but I soon learned what the " little and often " phenomenon was, when it comes to these innocent looking, so-called mild tranquilizers. I KNOW that I was addicted to them, as I had every single muscle ache and pain known to mankind for MONTHS after I completely quit taking them. And those weird palps. Except for sleep problems, I was feeling very well at that time, but I think that my metabolism was just beginning to slow down some because the reason I quit them was that I noticed that it felt like my heart was beating too slow when I woke from sleep. Even after that, for another few months, I still tossed and turned, but still seemed basically healthy to myself, anyway. I used to be very obsessive, and I don't mean in a small way, in very big ways, but I had to learn to let things go OR maybe there have been enough changes in my brain chemistry that I may be more able to let go of many things. I KNOW that bipolar disorder is strongly connected to thyroid disease, and I also suspect it's very connected to other brain chemistry problems like OCD and even paranoia, in some cases. There's just too much documentation and experiences with thousands of people that do a dance all around these very related issues. I STILL have trouble, at times, being in both crowded and more intimately crowded places, and I'm very sure that it has been the adrenal and thyroid issues causing this, as I used to be very outgoing and never knew a stranger that I couldn't strike up a conversation with. Up until several months ago, I would literally freeze up and almost hyperventilate, when I would visit the little cafe that I had been visiting with friends for 10 yrs before all this fun stuff started with the thyroid. Of couse, some of it was the fact that I didn't even feel like sitting up and only felt like laying down all the time, but a lot of it is just flat brain chemistry changes that are sort of " don't get too close to me, or I may pass out " sort of thing. My middle daughter was like that from birth and always felt like everyone was " in her face " , if they were standing just 5 ft away from her. Even as a baby, she did NOT like to be swaddled and cuddled in the arms of ANYone, including me. She's still that way today, but it's better since she started on-------guess what-------thyroid meds-------a few yrs ago. That's another story with her, but there are so many thyroidians who have many of these same characteristics, or related ones, hands down.
