Update on Misty... Day one on Thyrolar...

[Guest guest]

Hi again ladies.

I am having a good day today - got lots of napping

done yesterday (I must have slept for about 16

hours..)

I managed to be off thyroid meds for 3 weeks and

although I experienced a lot of bad stuff, I managed

by basically fasting and forcing myself to walk a

couple of miles (even in pain and with rain), to NOT

GAIN WEIGHT! Wow.. I am amazed.. I might have lost

an inch or two since I was turned off of food.

Anyway, I started 1/2 Thyrolar today (sythetic t4 and

t3 at same ratio as Armour, but no t2, t1, or

calcitonin..) so we shall see. My biggest gripe is

severe muscular pain - so bad that I am popping Aleves

and Advil like crazy. Hopefully getting some t4 and

t3 will help me out a bit.

As I am looking forward to renewed energy, I went

shopping for my allergy-free diet. So depressing. I

can eat like 4 veggies (carrot, celery, skin-free

cucumber, salad greens) and a few meats and rice and

potatoes and water. Oh well, at least I can count on

dropping some weight...hopefully.

That's the story today.. I think I got an A in my

" Biopsychosocial disorders in Human Development " class

so that is good. It is a sunny (windy, cool) day in

Chi-town, so that makes me feel better, too.

Hope everyone is well.

Love,

Misty

present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear.
