Its been awhile since I've posted, but I have been trying to keep up

reading everyone elses.

I've been doing pretty good after explanting in April.

The only things left that I am dealing with is a very small amount

of joint pain sometimes (not all the time) in my elbows and maybe a

day a month where I'm just not feeling very good. Brain fog is all

gone. Not bad considering that be fore explant I thought I was going

to die. Oh and my weight problem. I am still 30 pounds over what I

used to be. Started working out again with a trainer and watching

what I am eating, so we will see what happens. I did look at all my

old blood work that I have saved since 1998. Very interesting! In

1998 before implanting my tsh level was 1.7. After implanting my tsh

level was 5.8 and after explanting my tsh level has gone down to 4.3

as of July. All of these levels fall within the normal range. But

for me it looks like I need to be in the l.7 range to keep my weight

under control. I just had some blood work done this last tuesday and

I can't wait to see if the tsh had gone down some more. I really

hope that my thyroid is repairing itself and will get back to normal.

I pray for all of you still suffering so much. It is hard not to cry

when reading the posts from those of you still in so much pain.

Thank God that we found each other here for support.

I am sorry that I have not been of much help to the group. But I

have been trying to get my life back together since my husband left.

I'm doing ok. My divorce will be final June 1st.

He ran into a friend of mine and told her that he had to leave

because I wasn't fun anymore I never wanted to do anything.

Can you believe. I was so sick and thought I was dieing and all he

thought about was that he wasnt having fun anymore.

Well enough about me.

I can't remember who posted about having sinus infections, but I

wanted to tell them about what worked for me.

I had so many sinus infections, nothing seem to work. they just keep

coming back. after doing a cat scan the doctor wanted to drill

holes. I asked him want was causing the sinus trouble and he had no

Idea, he just wanted to put holes in my head. So I started removing

foods from my diet.

Guess what it was dairy products.

once I stoped eating dairy products my sinus stoped producing the

mucus and I stoped having sinus infections. Its been abut 4 years

now. I can now eat alittle bit of dairy but if I have to much I can

feel my sinus's filling up. I have suggested this to others with

this problem and it has worked for them to. So give it a try. With

out the the mucus build up everyday the anibotis will be able to get

rid of the infection.

Thanks for being there.
