Hi Barb, I have no way of proving it, of course, and my health had been circling

down for a few years, but getting dental implants in the winter of 2007, and

then lots of cosmetic dentist work and a root canals was when things turned

seriously bad for me. Make sure that he's supporting his adrenals.

Thanks . I've heard root canals can cause recurring problems so glad he's

just getting it pulled. And not sure what to do about his adrenals since he's

weaned off the HC/IC, but still occasionally needs to stress dose an IC now and

then. Dentist mentioned using laughing gas as a way to keep him relaxed. You

have dental problems too? I swear, you've always reminded me so much of DH.

I've never heard of this on any of the thyroid forums I'm on, and was wondering

if any of you here have that. Or dental problems in general. Oral surgeon also

said he has some bone loss in his jaw, where the teeth anchor. Could that be

from being low testosterone or low thyroid for so long?
