Guest guest Posted January 24, 2002 Report Share Posted January 24, 2002 Hello Stu, I'm here - good hearing that you're hanging in there and know that you are in my prayers. God Bless you and have a good weekend. Love, ===== I said to a man who stood at the gate of the year; " Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown. " And he replied, " Go out into the darkness and put your hand in the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Hi Judy,Teri here , I was really pissed but in the same instant I was relieved now I knew what was wrong with me because I was so tired of feeling so bad and not knowing why.It is scarey. My blood work is all going down hill and afraid I will not be able to stay on meds. Made it for 8 mos. on reg interferon and things were going downhill and they took me off and I was labeled a non-responder, I now have just made 4 mos. Good luck on your therapy!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Thats not true, They found mine in it's early stages they feel and I had been sick way longer than that. I had some scarring of my liver but said I had a good five years before it would cause me any problems if I chose to wait. Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Hey Judy, I was diagnosed about 8 years ago and I have been a-symptomatic since. My three month liver panels have all come back fine, but, like you, I am going to persue treatment this upcoming spring...a little freaked about it too. Did you find out anything from this e-mail?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 Judy: My doctor is supporting my treatment even though I am not experiencing any symptoms and my liver panels are fine...anyway, she did mention that women tend to do better with the treatment than men. The stats are good, my thoughts are with you... What kind of symptoms did you have that brought you to the doctor? When do you get your biopsy? I'm about one month behind you...what does a biopsy consist of? Do they just use a needle to extract tissue, or do they have to cut? My appt with my gastro is March 20. Thanks for all of your info.

Fall hit and suddenly have some of the old symptoms back. At least, maybe I can start upping my dose again. BTW - can anyone time me if dark pigment spots on the face is adrenal.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi Sherry-- Ebb and flow of the tide, could be. I have many other struggles in my daily life and they can keep me away from the community--pretty sure that's the way it is with most of us. My older son has Asberger's and I find it very emotionally draining to help support and coach him through his daily life. This has a negative effect on my health in general. We all have to do what we have to do.... I have a couple of ideas about the dark spots and the darker skin, but, they're only ideas. You could look into heredity. Also, dark spots have been connected to hormone issues, especially in women. Adrenal could be connected, based on that. If there is any connection to how you feel and the appearance of the spots, that could be an indicator for you to explore. As far as the tanning darker--the only idea I have there deals with how much exposure you have had since you were younger and how often you continue to get out in the sun, as well as the type of sun/skin products you have used and are using currently. I've observed that older people who have always been out in the sun, no matter how fair they might have been originally, will see their skin retaining the tanning effects over time--so, it could be cumulative in your case. My younger sister always went out and tanned and her skin is much darker even in the Idaho winters than it used to be--she's 48. Everybody is unique, of course. Best of luck to you and take care!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Re: Re: Where did everyone go? go to the big kahuna endocrinologist in this progressive university town (Madison Wisconsin). Complete blood panels for everything. Hi Terry, I went to school in Mad-town and lived there afterward for ten years. The area IS progressive, but I found there medical establishment to not be. Did you get a copy of your lab results? If not, you can probably request one from records. From what I've read and from my own experience, Free T3 and Free T4 need to be high in the normal range in order to feel good ... some people even need their Free T3 to be higher than range.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi Terry: Yep--that's a familiar tune!! I was on synthroid for years and the Big Kahunas that I saw were all convinced that since the labs were good, that I should start to feel better soon....Well---like many of us, that NEVER happened. I've been on Armour for the second time now and find I feel better overall. I also experimented with various thyroid and adrenal supplements on the market and found some that really do work for me--for all of the symptoms we get--the brain fog, the fatigue, the depression, the inability to concentrate and finish projects, etc. We are working on my hair coming out WAY too much right now, and the weight issue--but, the others have been greatly improved. Stick to your guns, Terry!! Best of luck!! Steph SJO :0) --------- Re: Where did everyone go? This must be a slow time for this disorder - for some reason we are all stable right now?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks Steph! I am sorry to hear about your son. Yes, taking care of a child, and yet one that has any issues is exhausting! No one in my family has this problem with dark spots. However, a dermatologist did tell me I am at risk because of my mother's olive skin. Funny, I did not inherit the olive trait. I am a fair skinned blond that tans very easily. Yes, I have always been in the sun so perhaps that has just caught up with me. I'm 42 and out much more than the average person. I'm not intentionally baking in the sun but do out door activities (kids sporting events, running, swimming, walking the dog, etc.). I don't mind it, just seems a little abnormal. Especially my face. I have 3 sisters, none of them or my mother have this problem. I wear the strongest and best dermatologist blessed sunscreen and a hat at all times. The sun still gets through on my face. I live in the Midwest so our sun isn't that strong. Sherry -- In hypothyroidism , nmsjoy@... wrote: > > Hi Sherry-- > Ebb and flow of the tide, could be.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi, I had what was called the " Mask of Pregnancy " even before I got pregnant! So, yes, it could most definately be related to the thyroid thing. I gave up gluten, gave up make up, and said " what the heck with it " and do you know, mine are almost completely gone. So, I believe in prayer, giving up gluten, and giving up the make up! Maybe give it a try!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thanks for the tip . Yes I had the mask as well, but it went away after the kids. Now this is here. Maybe you are too young for the second disorder to pop up yet? I use very little make up myself.
