well since she was on dr phil you can forget about her thyroid being

tested. dr phil doesn't think a thyroid problem is but a nagging tiny

thing you can take a small tablet for and magically make disappear.

hell, if you're fat and can't lose weight and happen to suffer from

thyroid disease and say so, you're just making up excuses for yourself!

I had " baby blues " & got very depressed after the births of all my babies for at

least 3 months. Also had bad back aches as I recall & sore throat off & on. Back

then, over 45 years ago, the docs gave me a red liquid to drink for the baby

blues. It didn't do a thing.

My sister go so bad after the birth of her twins she nearly died. She got super

fat really quick, had crawling skin sensations, was crying all the time, super

fatigued, etc. That went on for months & her husband, meanwhile, decided to

have an affair with the woman across the street, being disgusted with my sister,

his wife.

Our aunt suggested she might have thyroid problems & to ask her doctor, which

she did. Don't know what they put her on back then (47 years ago) but it cured

her. (I should ask her if she was on Armour back then).

She got rapidly better & in a few months was back to her old slim, powerhouse

self. Never had any thyroid, depression or other types of those related problems

since then, even after two other pregnancies & births.

She's always been an athlete so even today at age 69 she's still slim, in great

shape, works out all the time at their senior retirement clubhouse gym, plays

golf, bike rides, hikes, (but stopped playing tennis now), travels with her same

husband, runs their home like a bed & breakfast with friends & family coming &

going all the time, etc. etc.

Wish I could say the same but I can't. That's not like my life at all. I haven't

got a life. But hope to have one some day in the future if at all possible

anymore.

You're really a big Dr. Phil fan underneath it all, aren't you, Baron?
