Thank you so much for your encouragement and advice. I'm going to try to get

my new primary care doctor (who is a DO) to try this again.

Now for you! Of course, forgetting your meds WILL cause the puffiness and

other symptoms to come back. It's absolute proof that you do have this

disorder! Get back to taking those meds, my friend!

Thank you again,

Joyce

> Hi Joyce, and everyone,

My name is Tres and I am also new to the list .I am just like you Joyce, I

am

showing all the symptoms of hypothyroidism, but my test came back

neg..

The only difference is , is I did some research and took it to my doc and showed

her that many

times nothing shows in the blood work, so I asked If she would try me on thyroid

meds anyway

and see how I do. She agreed, and I am now on my 3rd weed of synthroid.

So far, I do seem to have a slight increase in energy, and I have also had very

severe swelling for years mostly in my legs, but not limit to them , that for

the

first time in years, went down quite a bit.

( With the exception of the past four days, I puffed back up, and I am not sure

if

it is allergies, the

heat, or the fact that I have been forgeting to take my medication and have been

very irregular with

it.)

In the past ten years I have gained over 100 lbs., have severe pitting edema,

oily

dry flakey skin,

stomach and digestive problems, brittle nailes, dry hair, pain over my whole

body,( sometimes so

bad I can hardly get out of bed or get out of the chair to walk across the room

),

muscle spasms,

pain in my muscles and joints, blurred vision, deppression, bad tempered,

weakness, throat in the

area of thyriod sore to touch, sick often, fatige, sleeplessness, then other

times

can't get enough sleep, and the list goes on.

Over the years I have tried all kinds of home remidies thinking I have had other

things wrong.

I have tried vit. and min., and juicing. ( I am still very convinced that

juicing

is something that

will help with all kinds of illness. That along with nutrition.)

None of these things helped , athough the juicing made me feel a bit better.

I hope I have finally found what is wrong with me.

If you can't get your doc to listen to you maybe you can get him to refer you to

a

thyriod doc.

He would be more knowledgable about it not showing in your bloodwork.

I hope everything works out for you Joyce. I know how hopeless it can feel when

you can't do

anything about it or get anyone else to do anything either.

I'm glad to get to know everyone.

Gods blessings on you all,

Tres

I like to have about 1/3 or 1/4 a sweet potato for a snack in the late

afternoon. It's very satisfying. I don't get hungry on the way home from

work. I just bake the potato and cut it into three or four pieces which I

can bring along in a plastic bag.

The book The Soapmaker's Companion by Cavitch has a lot of

information on natural colorants. There are numerous things you can use

including annatto, paprika, tumeric, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and even brewed

coffee and tea.

Janet,

You are not full of self pity. You have been told you have a rare disease, that

it is serious, and yet the doctor really couldn't tell you much about it. You

are being referred to a specialist, so more waiting, tests, and insurance cr*p,

etc. This is incredibly scary, stressful and serious.

I do not know alot about it, but I do know a little bit. My birth grandmother

had both Raynaud's Syndrome and Scleroderma. After many years, her heart and

lungs hardened and it did cause her to have a stroke and die. Now, she passed

away in 1982, and I'm sure alot has been done in research since then. I found

out about all this 6 years ago when I was contacted by my birth mother, and did

some researching on it. I also have some of the Raynaud's symptoms, and have

had them since I was a child. My hands and feet would get so cold, they would

turn different colors and become splotchy looking, and tingly. I could only

warm them up by putting them in warm water. I could have 5 pairs of socks on,

and my feet would be sweating, but still ice-cold and blue-looking. I now have

Fibromylagia, which seems to be another type of autoimmune syndrome, disease,

whatever. I have no idea if they are really related or not, but it does make me

kind of wonder. Tho the info said that Scleroderma is

not usually hereditary.

Janet, I will be thinking of you. The regular exercise does help alot it said

on one of the sites that Barb provided. Please take care, and make sure you

have a lot of support. Also have someone go with you to your appointment with

the specialist so that they can help you remember and write down things.

Sometimes this stuff is so upsetting that it is too difficult to try and

remember everything. I don't know how many times I have had to call doctors

back asking them, " Now what did you say about so and so? " !

{{{{Hugs}}}}! I will be sending you lots of positive vibes and prayers!

Regards,

in Texas

Hi .

Thanks for responding.

My Mum has Fibromylagia...Strange???

However! due to this-when ever I have anything wrong with me-And I

mention it-she Just Diverts the Attention back to her-sad Ey?

This time-I am Not even going to let her know...

The last time,I was diagnosed with anything-endometriosis...after

Keyhole surgery,her reponse was- " Well! you will go having ops won't

you? what do you expect? " LOL

Needless to say-I can do without that Now,can't I? :)

Thank heavens for you all here!

I will carry On regardless--Hey! Thats A Song isn't it? By??? Duh!

can't think now-I can SEE Them But!!!! they are from Sheffield ! DUH!

Anyway! I will carry on,as if They haven't told me-concentrating on

Getting to an OPTIMUM Level of fitness,Ensuring My Diet is as Good

and

wholesome as it has Been lately,and Tae-bo'ing.. My Hips ache so

now--But I will learn to Modify!

So! There!

Thanks and Hugs to you too.

Janet :)))))))

Hello Elena,

Thanks!

I do not know when the appointment will be-I never thought to ask.

Over here The GP(Doctor) writes to the Specialist,who then Assess's

your Case( I would hope) and then you Usually go on a List!

Our Doctor is very good though-So I am Hoping for a quick Referral..I

may Pop in and see him tomorrow and ask Him about This!

As for being Brave! Well! Today I was well dazed in Tesco's--only

went

in for Organic Flour and wash Powder and ended up Spending 40 pounds!

LOL

Broke some eggs-Told a Till Operator off and Had a Crate Of

Onions(luckily in Nets) fall On Me....all this Because I feel so

weird

about it all..anbd weepy!

I got home,Sat with and suddenly Cried...

We pay a Loan Off Next Month and will be 100 pounds a week better off

then...suddenly! I realised I would rather Keep paying that forever

than Have An illness!

It Puts Things into Priority! doesn't it?

We were Re-posessed some 6 years ago--I always felt God had Given us

the Oportunity to Purchase a Nice House with gardens and Garage,and a

Private Drive,Only to lose it only 18 Months later(due to Rise in

interest rates,resession, Short time at work) ,as a way Of Humbling

us

to Realise What Things are Important in life...It did! and through

illness and stress and I stayed together and GREW!

In a While-i really believe a reason for all this will become

apparent too..

anyway! Thanks-I am Going on and on again! LOL

I think I will have to Write an e.mail to an Imaginary Friend--Get it

all Out-write down Everything I feel and think--Yes! Good Idea!

BTW! My sister rang today and actually asked me had I had The

Results-I told he They weren't so Good-and when I finished telling

her,and Said that It explained why I had Felt so Tired as Of late-she

said!-Humph! MY Doctor Didn't test me for that when I complained of

being tired!

LOL

I ask You?

Kids eh? No! she is actually Older than Me! LOL

All I know is--I REALLY Try to LISTEN To my 2 girls--But! I tend to

Be

Rather Overly supportive-LOL

I am ALWAYS Saying-BUT! How does this/that/the other make you FEEL????

Oh! Dear! do you wnat to Talk about It?

I bet When such and such did/said that you felt really Hurt! and so

on!

They get soooooo stressed with me sometimes!

I am Hoping it pays off later and they can relate to Their Inner

self-and Me of course!

Love

I wish you lived here. We would get you in to see a specialist today

(but for a price of course). The waiting must be terrible. You can

send that imaginary email here if you like. We are here for you. You

are not a burden and we love your posts. I'm glad you have been able to

cry. Be alert about depression creaping back in. Times like these

everyone is prone to depression and with your history it wouldn't

surprise me. My MIL is like your sister. Every conversation has to be

about her, no matter what the subject. She is a nice person, but a poor

conversationalist. The result, however, is I don't share anything

personal with her. I am so sorry you have to be going through all of

this. I'm very glad that you are posting here, however, for your's and

our sake.

Elena, who still thinks you are brave even if a crate of onions fell on

you.

Hi all,

I just got back from GI doctor. My biopsy shows that i do have

cirrhosis but at this time my liver is still functioning well. I will be

starting treatment as soon as peg and ribavirin can be used together.

The Dr told me to be on the lookout for jaundice, brain fog ( how will i

know i'm already dingy)! I have to have a colonoscopy tomorrow because i

am high risk for colon cancer, my mom and her sister both died from it.

yuck oh well when it rains it pours!! My pcr is still 711,000 which is

great so my doc thnks that i may respond well to tx.

Diane, what happened with you today?

Hey Terri,

I know what you mean about dingy...... Hand in the air waving..... I

wonder why he told you to be on the lookout for jaundice....... I got my

pcr back also. It is almost 6 million...... Jumped a million in 4

months..... They have to come up with a way to eradicate this virus....

There are so many people infected, that it makes you wonder what the

hell they are doing to find something to slow it down.... We are the

Dragonslayers...... We will come out on top one way or another..... we

are a strong group of people and united we ca take on he world.... Well

maybe not the whole world but a big chunk of it... ;o

Angel Hugs,

Diane

On Koop's website he calls it the silent

killer. Unfortunately the public is still largely

ignorant of the impact of this disease, partly because

most of us have it for 20 years or so before we know

it. I read somewhere that it will soon pass up aids in

annual deaths, partly because aids patients are living

longer, but also more and more of us are coming out of

the woodwork. Hopefully somebody with sit up and take

notice. On the website

http://www.hepatitis-central.com

there is a link that allows you to email your senators

& congressman of your concerns about doing more to

help find a cure for this disease. -dz-

That doesn't sound too bad. I know mine was over

1million when I started. The test I took only would

measure up to 1 million, so I don't know how high it

was. I am responding to the tx, pcr now shows

undetectable, now I just have to finish and pray I

don't relapse after I stop the tx. Good luck.
