Does anybody have a success story?

[Guest guest]

I'm seriously depressed at reading about everyone having issues with

dosing and all, so I would love to hear a really good story of healing.

Anyeone???

I wish I cna say I had a good story. I myslef and feeling super concerned with

all the info. I have been reading with dosing and how somw where fine before

taking any thryoid and now are worse. I am fairly new to these group. I am

waiting for my salvia kit to come in the mail. It just seems like I get worse

with each new thing found out iof sorts and then the remedy for me makes me go

in a a vicious circle!

Sorry I do not haev a success story to tell!

I hope you get on the right track soon.

Hiya. I consider myself a success story!! After getting up to 4 grains

of Armour (I am hypo and had a botched surgery which left me with only

half a thyroid). I feel -- most of the time -- like I did when I was in

my 20s. I am 42. I am able to have a very, very active lifestyle: I

ride horses, train dogs, train my Border Collies in herding and I have a

Heeler that is on his way to becoming an Agility champ (which means I

have to run a lot!).

A year ago I was practically comatose. I could not get out of bed. I

weighed 190. Now I weigh 160. My cholesterol shot down from 240 to 181

in 4 months! I feel full of life and am very happy. I do have some hypo

feeling days now and again and I do push myself too hard physically. I

think I need more rest than a person who was doing what I do everyday

but had a working thyroid. But really I am not sure. I don't know too

many people other than athletes who do what I do each week.

I am currently dealing with some mild detox stuff since I am taking

Iodoral in an attempt to shrink a parathyroid cyst. Basically I have a

few days that I feel hypo or I have a fast heart rate. I am adjusting

some supplements to help this and I feel these symptoms are worth the

gain I will get. I feel that I need iodine -- since I have had the

parathyroid cyst most of my life.

My husband, family and friends all cannot believe my transformation. I

owe it to STTM and the Yahoo groups such as this one.

I discovered that thyroid problems run rampant in my family. My poor

Grandmother seemingly " lost her mind " in her mid 30s. Now I feel she

became a paranoid schizophrenic late in life b/c she had severe thyroid

problems. I think I would have met that same fate, eventually.

Not a day goes by that I do not feel grateful for my life and grateful

for how much better I feel. I tell so many people who look/act hypo to

me about Armour. If I can't convince them on the facts, my own vibrant

health and high energy level at least makes them curious.

I do take many supplements for my adrenals and to help my thyroid. I

think there are a lot of healthy thyroid people out there who couldn't

keep up with me.

How is that for a success story? :-) Hang in there. If you have found

this wise group, you are on the right path.

I am a success story in the works! Let;s go back 13 years. I had

Congestive heart failure, BP of 245/148, I am sure cortios through the

roof though it was not tested, was on Synthroid or Levoxyl for 25 years,

Dying of Myexedma Coma, had to slep in my computer chair as if I laid

down I got Pneumonia. Had it five times one right after the other. Yup I

was dying no doubt about it., I was given 2 years ot live at most by the

cardiologist. I could gain or lose 20 pounds overnight by how much fluid

my body decided to retain that day. I wore compression panty hose to

work the days I made it in, I had to wear lace up boots to kleep my

ankles from spilling over onto the floor. Alsdo at this time if I worked

past 1PM I had to take a napo before I drove home or I fell aslepp on

that drive, I had already wrecked three cars fallingasleep driving so

the nao became a daily ritual when I got done working. Depression and

suicide were my constant thoughts all day every day. The pain I was in

was horrid. And I was over $50,000 in debt to doctors and labs.

Now I ma 65 pounds lighter, work full time DO not ever pay a dpctor

and am happy and alert all the time. I sleep a normal 8 hours every

night IN MY BED wiht no residual signs of CHF or high blood pressure. No

BO meds either.I am now 11 years past my dead dealine and feel purty

darn good for a dead person! I could fell better, yes, but suicide has

not crossed my mind in year s and I am very content with my pwn business

and living alone with my 8 pets.

Well at 3 weeks into hormone therapy I'm hardly a success story yet, but since

the very first

dose of HC my personal relationships have been totally smooth sailing. My

boyfriend is

stunned. He's so impressed at my improved mood he's taking this all quite

seriously and

going to quit giving his daughter flouridated tap water to drink. And one of my

therapist

friends is going to be alot more pro-active about recommending thyroid

evaluation to her

clients. Yay! That's success already, I think.

I think I'm a success story. I found a doctor in May who treats

symptoms and adrenals. He said I didn't need HC but am using DHEA and

on 120 mg of Armour plus 10 mcg of Cytomel and I feel GREAT. I am able

to lose weight and although it's not melting off me because I've always

been a slow loser, it is not impossible any more. I have energy and can

get things done. BIG change from what I was like in March of this

year. My old doctor wouldn't increase Armour above 30 mg and refused to

consider adrenal problems because AM cortisol was " normal " . All my

problems began when he diagnosed hypothyroidism based on TSH of 6.1 - it

had been over 5 for several years - and put me on Synthroid. I got very

much worse in every way and had symptoms of CFS and fibromyalgia.

---What did you do (treatment-wise) to get where you are? How long did

it take?
