Guest guest Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Great story, encouragement & support. Thanx so much from the bottom of my heart, Janie Caroline From: loboshe > Once again, thank you ladies for being true pioneers and for > helping us so much! Sim, thank YOU for being such a great support, yourself, on this group. I'll never forget how my life changed over 2 years ago when I switched to Armour. And it wasn't the least bit subtle--it was profound. To go from applying for disability, crying, depressed, unable to do more than stay at home.........to owning my own store and having the energy of a teenager....was profound. And I didn't get there because someone told me, or because there was a group focused like this who could help me. I had to work SO hard to find out what I know now, and about Armour. It was truly like climbing up a cliff by my fingernails. I went through NUMEROUS and invasive tests over the years---a muscle biopsy, strange tests that diagnosed the possibility of a Glycogen Storage Disease...or a Mitchodrial disorder. It was ALL bad. But...none of it made sense. My gut told me something ELSE was WRONG WRONG. When a potential diagnosis was made for my strange and debilitating symtpoms, I'd hibernate emotionally for a few months, then get right back on the computer and search. I didn't give up. I refused to accept any diagnosis that was given to me. And finally, I figured it out. Makes me angry to think about it. And..I got on Armour, and the rest was history. So.......the group was formed. I did NOT want ANYONE to go through the HELL that I went through. And now, we are several hundred just like me--changed by Armour/natural thyroid. And I can tell when I get on the net that LOTS and LOTS of folks are figuring it out who know nothing about this group!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!! I think we are all pioneers, fighting the idiocy of the medical establishment. Major pats on the back of all of us. WE are preparing the path for the rest of folks out there who aren't on the computer, or who put their complete trust in doctors who know NOTHING. The word is spreading. Thank God.

Thank God. > > Janie Dear Janie; To me it is amazing that one who was as ill as you were could still get it together not only to figure out and beat an unfair system ; but then to turn around and help others!! That takes a lot of brains and heart even if you were not suffering from a thyroid condition, but probably a lot more difficult with the nature of thyroid problems working against you. All I can say, is God Bless You, and I hope and pray for your continued good health. As far as me being supportive, thank you for the compliment; it's the least that I can do, I'll help in anyway I can. {{Hugs}} Sim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
