Dearest Jeannie, I am very very sorry to hear about the situation your daughter is going through . But maybe she is better off away from him maybe God has something better in Mind for her. This must be Gods will I know he would not just inflict this kind of Pain and hurt on anyone just because he feels like it. I would love to think he has something much better in mind for her and that darling little baby. When he closes a door he opens a window. Just know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers and my heart goes out to your Daughter in her time of complete loss and confusion as to what happened. Give that little baby girl for me mmmmm I love babies.

Bless your heart, Jeannie. I'm sorry you're going through such a very

stressful time.

This pain isn't permanent, you'll find a way to cope and keep your

health safe. Sharing is a big part of relieving the stress.

Have you tried any relaxation techniques, like meditating, or deep

breathing etc? Even if it only relaxes you for a moment when you first

begin, over time you'll learn to extend the relaxation. Finally, you'll

be able to call on it whenever you need it. You have the power to do

that for yourself, it only takes practice. It helps your body to stop

producing stress hormones which can eventually damage your body. Even if

you're on meds, relaxation stuff will only add to the good your existing

meds are doing.

I had a link to a nifty demonstration on relaxation with Alan Alda at a

medical facility, if you want to try it out I'll go looking for the web

site.

Hugs,

-Lynn

you need adrenal support... talk to your doc about giving you calcium support to. stress is hard like that... i had to make a decision a couple of weeks ago.. my husband wasn't helping me get better because of the stressful environment he is emotionally. (he's been going through some stuff) i think after noticing how it effected me, he's really getting his things in gear (crosses fingers). it has helped so much already. when people are sick and especially have low adrenal support, (which i suspect you have... emotional see saw is a BIG symptom) everything gets to you worse... meditation does help, extra sleep also helps... stay away from allergens and as many stressful situations as you can help. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET WELL IF YOU ARE IN STRESSFUL SITUATIONS. (I'm capitalizing that for my own benefit, not anything against you... the more I see it, the more it clicks with me that my life has got to change lol).

We are here to listen... so much of our daily lives involves so many different forms of stress... good stress as my doctor calls it are the things like celebrations, getting raises, etc. and we all know what bad stress does...

if we don't function well healthy, we're not going to function when our body really needs us. best thing i can tell you for immediate results other than the above, is schedule lots of me time and do things for yourself to keep yourself from being stressed. In times of helping other people, we often forget that our bodies are the best vessel in which to offer help because if we don't take care of those, anything else we do won't be of any help to the person we want to offer it to.

Go.. play.. have fun... I have an idea... if you want a good stress relief, go watch a movie called Wallace & Gromit... fun for the whole family as it is claymation... been out for about 10-15 years now and super funny. It'll help everyone get better. Oh, and suggest counseling for your grandchild... and the parents (as well as yourself if you need it... therapy is a wonderful thing, because it works)... my husband didn't get counseling when his parents divorced and this is why he's emotionally void sometimes.. just something to think about.

love,

Stressed!!

I really need to vent and see if anyone has any hints how to deal with the stress in my life and the effects it is having on my well being.

Hi All,

This link will take you to the relaxation stuff I mentioned. It was done

on Scientific American Frontiers TV show.

First, go here for a synopsis:

http://www.pbs.org/saf/1310/segments/1310-4.htm

At the TOP of that page is a link that says " WATCH ONLINE "

CLick that, and scroll down to " WORRIED SICK "

It's a fantastic introduction to the right way to get into relaxation

through breathing and meditation. Very easy. And I love Alan Alda to

bits, so that just made it all the more fun to watch. (This was done at

in Herbert Benson's lab at the Mind/Body Medical Institute in Boston.)

To : I've been a Wallace and Gromit fan for years! When their

latest movie came out, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, no one would go see

it with me, and I was in such a time of stress that I took myself to

see it on three separate days! Very soothing. A friend sent me two

Gromit puppets from England (one tiny and one large) and they

immediately make me feel better just by looking at them.

Hugs,

-Lynn

is right. What thyroid meds are you on? Are you on any adrenal support?

when I had a very stressful time a few weeks ago, I took Rescue Remedy. Add a dropperful to a bottl/glass/jug/whatever of water, and sip at it all day. Keep a dropperful in each bottle of water you drink, and sip at it constantly. It really helps!

Tina,

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I just gave that sweet baby a big hug and told her it was from Tina. I am thankful that she is too young to really realize what is going on. Her granddad and I are just spoiling her rotten. Babies are so innocent and sweet. If only things didn't have to change and they have to realize the harsh realities of the world.

Thanks again, Jeannie

,

I have been on calcium support since my thyroidectomy two years ago. I take 1200 mg of calcium 4 times a day, 600 mg of magnesium 3 times a day, and calcitrical twice a day. My parathyoid glands were damaged during the surgery because the tumor on my thyroid was so large. You would think that taking that much would keep my levels from dropping so low, but for some reason I just am not asorbing it like I should. I have been twice in the last two weeks for a couple days of IV calcium therapy.

It is really hard to find "me time right now". We have had to completely rearrange our house and add all of the things a baby needs. We live in a two bedroom farm house, so we switched bedrooms so my daughter and granddaughter could have the big bedroom and bathroom. It has been like moving. My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, who live about 600 miles from us are due here this afternoon for a visit that they have been planning around Spring Break for about 3 months. I hope that they will give everyone a fun distraction. I know that my 8 year old grandson will entertain the baby. It will be nice to have all of my children close for awhile.

With everything else that is going on, we just got more bad news. We just found out that my husbands Aunt has lung cancer and his Uncle has pancreatic cancer. The outcome is not predicted to be good. In fact, they are not even opting for treatment with his Uncle. I guess you can say that when it rains it pours.

Thanks for the good thoughts, and just letting me put my thoughts into words. I'm trying hard not to put more stress on my family by me having melt down in front of them.

I am taking 200 mcg. of Synthorid daily. I am not on adrenal support. I'm not sure if it has ever been checked. I guess I should ask my doctor. I have never heard of Rescue Remedy. What is it? Where do you get it?

Jeannie,

Am I correct that you have had your thyroid removed, but are only taking

Synthroid (which is only T4 and no T3 in it)?

I'm new - but I wonder if your body needs T3 as well.

Excellent Lynn . Jeannie, do you know the healing benefits of Armour or other natural thyroid products?

I've heard of so many people on Synthroid with calcium problems. From what I understanding Armour also contains calcitonin, which eliminates that problem.

Rescue Remedy is a natural flower essence, which you can get at any health food store or online.

I am taking 200 mcg. of Synthorid daily. I am not on adrenal support. I'm not sure if it has ever been checked. I guess I should ask my doctor. I have never heard of Rescue Remedy. What is it? Where do you get it?

Hi, Jeannie... I've just been reading what happened... I know you were feeling a bit stressed with the family coming in from out of town, now this.. I could say that the timing sucks.... but in a way.. it hasn't... You do get to have your family around to for a bit, lean on each other, catch up on things and be able to lean on each other through this... You've got us, too!

It's harder on your with the hormones and your body still adjusting...

The stress is gonna mess with your conversion, so be real careful about keeping up with your vitamins and supplements.. and watching out for the 'bad foods' that will make that even worse.

As for right now... Consider the positives... Yeah, hard to see.. but I can see one... Your grandbaby.... Growing up in and environment with a loving mom and grandparents beats the heck out of being in a home that is stressed cuz the dad doesn't want to be there. No time is ever a good time for a relationship to end, unless you consider the fact that if it's not a good relationship and is gonna fall apart and bring pain anyway... it's better to be done with it and get on with the positives in life... like that little baby being loved and wanted and happy.

I do know the benefits of Armour, but have not been able to find a Dr. in a 200 mile radius of my home that will prescribe Armour. I just changed Dr.'s and this one seems to at least be considering it. I see him on March 29th and am going to try again.

Thanks,

Jeannie

Re: Stressed!!

Jeannie,Am I correct that you have had your thyroid removed, but are only taking Synthroid (which is only T4 and no T3 in it)?I'm new - but I wonder if your body needs T3 as well.Best,-LynnMy Original Jewelery on Ebay:http://stores.ebay.com/Poochis-Tailor_Jewelery-Hand-Made_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ7QQftidZ2QQtZkmJeannie wrote:> ,> I am taking 200 mcg. of Synthorid daily.

You are correct. I have been trying to find a Dr. that will prescribe Armour, but haven't had any luck. I just started with a new Dr. and he seems to be considering prescribing Armour, or at least he said he would after my next round of bloodwork, which will be on March 29.

I see now. If Armour doesn't work, remember you have other options to

consider. Like, T3 separately, or a pill that is combo of T4 and T3.

There is a Doc in Boston who prescribes specially made T3 made by a

compounding pharmacist and they are time released. So, you have many

avenues to explore if one doesn't work perfectly

I may be new, but I keep my ears open

Hugs and best wishes for it all working out smoothly.

A bit stressed doesn't even come close. I think I'm losing it. I am really worried about my daughter's well being. She just sits holding the baby and staring. If you say much to her she gets real snappy and doesn't want to talk. She is thinking about going back to her house, which is about an hour from us. I am really worried about her being alone with the baby in her present state. Her husband leaving came from nowhere -- there were no signs that anything was wrong. Everyone is shocked. She keeps saying he is the love of her life and her heart is dead. I am trying to get her to agree to see a counselor.

My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson arrived this afternoon. It is great to see them. My grandson is trying really hard to entertain his Aunt Amy. At least she has smiled at him. I hope this visit will be good for everyone.

I have increased all of my vitamins, especially my vitamin B. My thyroid levels are finally getting better. I hope all of this doesn't set them back. I go for thyroid labs on March 29. I go for calcium labs on March 20. I know it is still low because I am still having numbness in my hands, feet, and face.

Thanks for being here.

Take him the benefits of having armour.. more hormones, better absorption, etc. that will get docs to listen. Sounds like you might have found one. Did he check your frees? Have him check your free t3 & free t4.

maybe you can get your daughter to take vitamins... if you have to crush them up into her food.. I know that may sound a bit harsh, but... when you go through something devistating like that, you sometimes forget to do things like eat and sleep. Also, if your daughter is on any anti depressant, it may make the break up worse by enhancing her emotions... that's what welbutrin did for me *shudder*. There is a book called the Cinderella Complex... you may want to have her read it when she has healed. It will help her love again. She will be in shock for a long time. You will want to do some reading up on grief and death. Relationships ending are the second most cause of depression with death as the first. Because if you think about it, the relationship died. It will help you learn to talk to her and it will help you help her to transition as well as dealing with your own feelings about the situation.

If you want I can look up a good book title for you.

Hi Jeannie, I wish I could think of what to do to make her feel better I have been in your situation and I been in some what the same boat she is in my ex use to hit me alot.. But when I found out he was cheating on me it still hurt like hell and I still couln't believe it was happening. I know there are non magic words you can say to help her. You know you might have to resort to tough love and just tell her she has to come back to reality for the sake of her baby and she has to focus on her baby right now. Eventually hings will all come around for her. Oh God my heart just hurts forher I know how she feels. I will keep trying to think of something to help her. Give her a great big hug and if she needs to talk I will be here and I would be happy to talk to her. I am here for you to I will keep you all in my prayers. Big Hugss to you all
