New Dosing

I started a new Dosing plan due to the side effects which consisted of shortness of breath and shakiness.
It was recommended to me by other suffers on the forum at "Stop the Thyroid Madness.com." I am ready to throw in the towel but I am in a postiton that it is a must I do something for the betterment of my health. I'm gaining too much weight ! It can't be good on my heart and it sure doesn't help to eat hardly nothing at all and gain weight. Something went down hill; I need more medication and due to alot of stress!

The sufferings over the years- diagnoses

I feel I need to express my desire to share what I've learned from my studies and hours of research on the Internet, due to the fact that I still DID NOT FEEL WELL even though I was being treated for thyroid disease by the conventional way. The main stream medical remedy for thyroid disease. I was put on a medicine that was a chemically produced T4 know as Synthyroid. It was a low dose to begin with and after a few years of being on that , I crashed, basically I ended up with Hashimotas Disease. What I want to focus on right now is the facts that I presented to the doctors all the time, of not feeling well. I gained weight easily, I was so tired , I struggled every day with depression , was put on an anti depressants, but really to no avail.

I've had been diagnosed with :
Hashimotas Disease
Carproal Tunnel Syndrome- both hands operated on
TMJ- A jaw pain
Arthritis
I was told I was getting older
Low Libido
Perimenapausal
Low grade depression
Ovarian cyst
Breast cysts
Psoriasis
Heel spurs
Ganglion Cysts on foot-surgery
3 Cesarean Section Childbirths
Tonsillectomy -immflamed tonsils
Hemorrhoids-surgery
Edema
IBS- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Candidia
Sinus drainage
High Cholesterol
Adrenal Fatigue
I had a head Injury as a child
Low blood pressure
Exzema



Ive suffered:
Sever depression
PMS
Heavy Menes- severe cramping
Weight gain
Aches and pains in the lower back
Mental anguish- doom and gloom
Low temps
Low Blood pressure
Diminished vision
Mental fog
Cant read
Fatigue
Hair loss-unable to hold a permanent
Feet hurting- 2 foot surgeries
Cysts- painful
Edema- Water retention-red faced, bloating
Unable to withstand heat
Hot flashes
Cannot hold Chiropratic adjustments
Dental deterioration

When I look back, I cant believe some of the things I suffered could have been avoided had I had the correct amount of thyroid medicine, as well as the proper kind.

I do not suffer some of these things today since I started natural thyroid medicine with increases.

I do not :
Ache, my breast cysts have diminished, my psoriasis is gone, the fog has lifted, I'm reading again, my feet don't hurt, the depression is gone. I have'nt any stomach or bowel problems at all, no candida, I don't suffer colds or have sinus drainage! I do not have TMJ.

The things I suffer with right now are weight gain, edema, low temperatures, low blood pressure. This seems more of an Adrenal problem than that of thyroid.

Set Backs

To much dismay , I enter a new log with doubt about my new regiment. I have gained another pound or two and am up to 167. I feel it is water weight gain, edema, from the thyroid. I have a low blood pressure and a high pulse rate of 92 at times. My adrenals are really down. Im now going to be using b12 injections every other week now. Im taking 4 grains armour, 30 mg of Cortef, through out the day. I am use the blood typing diet . I also started progestrogen cream to once / twice a day. I dont know , I am baffled.

Healing in progress/ Weight Struggles

Yes!!! ~ I went to the foot doctor yesterday and had another injection. (Jan 22) He was very pleased with my recovery. I haven't any pain in my heel, where the spur is. I do feel using the night splint and using Arnica Gel has improved my condition immensely. I am convinced that the Arinca Gel expediated my recovery.

The Horses
Pearl had colic last night and scared us all. I walked her for 1 1/2 hours and then let Toy chase her around. She finally had a bowel movement, so I put her in the stall and she laid down and rested quietly, but was very alert. She is fine today and I fed her lightly.

Our favorite pastime in the summer. I was trying out the

Picasa Photo Center to see how to post photos. Well, looky here....

B12 for the third week, feeling better, Sounds repetitive but.....

I had my third B12 shot (1000mg) this Wedensday and I sure think I feel better. Im also on 2000 mg Vit C for absorbtion of my thyroid meds. I've been steady on the 3 grain ; am going to bump up to 3 1/2 grain to see how I do. Its sounds so repetitive but I am logging my physical well being as I go through this up and down in this yoyo effect of Hashimotas. From what I understand, Hash's is never leveled out with meds. It will slowly destroy my thyroid then I can level out. How interesting..why not jus take it out. I am on a water pill for a few days due to Mense bloating. I was feeling so swollen and puffy.


3 grain Armour
1- B12 injection 1000mg
2000 mg C
2-Basic cell energy
2 -adrenal supports
4 water tabs a day for 5 days
25 mg Cortef ( hydrocortisone)

Friday!! Yeah! Adrenaline Fatigue

I 've been doing pretty good since about Tuesday. Wednesday I had my B12 shot at night and I've felt "powered" ever since. Ran more than a mile on the tread mile for two days and did Circut Exercises. I noticed Im up a pound which is really disturbing (not losing weight) I think it is my thyroid . I am returning to 4 grains a day again to see if there is a change. I was diagnosed last year with Adrenaline Fatigue, which we think I've had it for a long time ( Since third C -section with my son, Jesse.) Dietary changes, supplements supporting the adrenal, Cod liver oil ( yuck) and of course tons of B12. I am also on Basic Cell Energy from Dr Rinds http://www.drrind.com/ . I purchase this from my doctor who recommended it.
Drenatrophin PMG a bovine adrenal extract, also bought from my doctor. I do want to recognize my great doctor, who is not in a square box with the Insurance company dictating to her. She is Doctor Rothschild in Mt Airy, MD. This is a hour drive for me, but she is so worth it. She does not take Insurance but fill out all the paper work for you to submit. Here is the website to the Center she is at http://www.gaiahealing.com/HTML/stewards.htm . I do not promote the belief of the center itself, but her doctoring is superior and whole, meaning she cares for the whole person body and mind in a holistic practice , not being driven by $ numbers$ !

Monday Madness

Back to the old grinding board as we would say. I'm still accessing my progress and so far its so slow. I think Ive gained another pound. that would now make it 162 lbs. I use to be 150, and even before that 137. I remember that number well.
I am really digging in and eating by the Blood typing "diet." I am an A as well as my husband is. I'm trying to learn all new recipes. It mostly a meat and veggies lifestyle, no beef! Wheat free, also.
Hurt my back last week so I failed to hold a good adjustment. It was pulling Pearl's stake out of the ground to move her to greener grass. I go back Fri so that twice in one week.

Disease

Dis- ease, such as a physical healthy body is in "ease", a troubled ill body is in dis-ease.

Foot doctor injected alcohol into my area that had previous surgeries, where nerve damage is on the top of my foot after treatment started for a heel spur on heel of the same foot. Its been about 6 months of frustration and pain with this heel spur. What a "trip!"

Rained a 55-56 degrees out! Its amazing , tomorrow is going to near 70 degrees.

Feeling better, face looks less puffy.

Nation Honors Former President Ford
Tuesday , January 02, 2007

WASHINGTON — The nation honored President Gerald Ford on Tuesday in a high-powered fanfare for the common man who was summoned to the presidency in the Watergate crisis. He was remembered for what he didn't have — pretensions, a scheming agenda, a great golf game — as much as for the small-town authenticity he brought to high office.
"In President Ford, the world saw the best of America and America found a man whose character and leadership would bring calm and healing to one of the most divisive moments in our nation's history," President Bush said in his eulogy.
The elaborate service at the Washington National Cathedral was the final assembly in the capital's portion of the state funeral for the 38th president, before Ford's interment Wednesday in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Ford died at 93 on Dec. 26 at his home in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
The national funeral service capped Washington's portion of a state funeral that concludes with a final public visitation in Grand Rapids, a private service, and interment on a hillside overlooking his museum.
Ford was appointed vice president by Nixon to replace Spiro Agnew, who resigned in a bribery scandal stemming from his days as Maryland governor. After Nixon resigned, Ford assumed the presidency for 2 1/2 years.
A month after taking office, Ford pardoned Nixon for any Watergate crimes he might have committed.

Day two B12 Shot/slow day

Not much today, just lot of work at home and I felt tired today. Dr added cod liver oil, a new adrenaline support tablet and continue on Basic Cell Energy tablet. Hurt my back pulling the stake out of the ground that I use for my mini horse to tie to. Used ice pack and IB. Feeling down.
