Doctor just wants to "monitor" it. I don't know what to watch for except more heart problems. I also had a holter monitor put on and all that found was one skipped heartbeat. I thought it was odd considering it was pounding and jumping throughout the twenty fours I had it on. I thought about getting a second opinion. I am just sick of being sick and tired of being tired and really don't care for seeing more doctors. The MS causes my face on the one side to hurt but I wasn't really sure about the numbness. I have so many things wrong and I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like a hypochondriac but really I don't think I am. I think... lol Liz> > Kats3boys> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Being hyper can cause the twitching.. I had that when I was in storm..... I don't agree with your docs not doing anything... being hyper is not a good thing, especially if your weight is dropping on it's own..... Can you post your last labs for us to see? I'd like to see with they tested for the thyroid stuff..... I'd like to see what is causing you to be hyper.... I'm thinking it's not going to be much fun being hyper with MS.....

I was having heart palpitations and was losing weight without even trying. I had several tests done and they found a cyst on my thyroid. Doctor didn't want to put me on any medication or do any treatments unless the thyroid causes me problems with breathing. I have been having weird problems since then. I also have Multiple Sclerosis. So I don't know what is going on, to be truthful. My right eye has been spazzing like a twitch but within the eye itself. I know it isn't the eye lid. Now my face is numb on the left side. Anyone have this problem? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Welcome!!! I'm glad you are getting well. My little guy is the Celiac , so far. The other children will be tested next month. My husband and I are not Celiacs, however, if our children are, dh has a shock waiting for him b/c if the majority of members in the house are GF, then we all are going to be. Of coure, after I read Dangerous Grains, we might all be anyway -- I requested the library to buy a copy and they did! It is here and I'm going to go check it out tomorrow!!! I thought you were supposed to be on a high gluten diet when they do the biopsy as the biospy is looking for damaged villi. I would call and ask your GI to make sure, however, b/c an adult may not heal as quickly as a child given the years of damage, it may not matter with only going GF for a few weeks. Our son is not getting the biospy done, b/c we will not put him on a high gluten diet, a diet he never ate to begin with. He naturally choose a more Paleo diet from the first solid food introduction time frame. He's also only 3 1/2 yrs old and isn't able to understand, I'm eating no wheat, now they want me to eat what they told me I couldn't... Plus potty training issues, mistaken ingestion of gluten cause a change in clothes, not very good for a child's development and self-esteem. His dx was made on positive IGG, DQ2 and positive GF diet experience. The pediatrician is happy with that 'for now'. The Pedi GI doctor is pushing for the biopsy and just doesn't seem to get we don't care, we have a well child now and he is growing and happy... I measured him today, he has grown almost an entire inch since Nov 26th, that's 38 days!!! Maybe you got sick and had to cancel the biopsy for a reason unknown to us here on earth. I believe in fate and God's hand ruling over our lives. The biopsy is the 'gold standard' for diagnosis, but not everyone with CD goes and gets it done. Positive blood test all around and positive reaction to the GF diet should be enough in most cases. I'm obviously not one for doing invasive procedures when they clearly have no benefit. But that is just me... Rejoyce Winchester, VA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I myself do not have thyroid cancer but I can tell you that switching your diet to natural and organic foods will help your body stay healthy as well as drinking lots of water (purified or bottled if you can help it). Minerals that are deemed safe in our tap water can interfere with thyroid medication absorption (I know mine does). I'm not sure if you can get proper dosing on synthetic hormones as many like synthroid only have certain hormones where something natural like armour will have many many more. You might want to ask your doc about that. Needless to say you will probably be a bit hypo for the rest of your life unless your docs are really good about listening to your body and your blood work. Try to find as much education as you can and keep yourself focused on your goals. Being diagnosed with something like cancer can send you quite a blow. Good luck and keep us updated.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Just wanted to introduce myself as I read through a lot of previous posts.My name is Liz and I was recently diagnosed with a new primary tumor after a 12.5 year remission. I was diagnosed just after Thanksgiving and on Jan. 11 had a double mastectomy with double tram reconstruction. So far all is going well and am now awaiting a decision as to what kind of chemo follow-up I might need. I am not quite up to typing out my whole story, but I expect that will come eventually.I am in Michigan, so January is a good month to be stuck in the house while recuperating. -Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Liz, I am new here to, but what a good group of people you have found. I read more than write, but there are some strong females pounding keys here. Do you feel like Job? I had a near fatal car wreck in 2002, a major heart attack in 2002 and then breast cancer. I wanted to change my name for a while. The I decided it was my hand to play and I am doing my best to play it well. I know you will do the same thing. And I have found it is easier to share the dark with those who have also been in it. Anytime you need to "talk" feel free. Deborah Deborah aka Deborah Page deborah_ann_page@...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi Liz, What type of bc is it? Is it the same kind that you had 12 years ago and what was your treatment 12 years ago? Hope to hear from you soon. This is a great site and very inspiring for me. Sharonmslizart wrote: Just wanted to introduce myself as I read through a lot of previous posts.
