Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I just wanted to share the link I have been looking at with new research on weight and TSH. I know I have a fixation with weight with my dieting career since age 8 but it is interesting. I have put on 7 lbs since all my symptoms for hypo t really appeared in early 2007. I know it's not much but having had such a history with eating disorders I just don't feel I can go through all that over again ... I weighed myself this am (I only do this about 4 x a year as the scales ruled my life and my feelings) but having just started armour (8 days ago!) I wanted to have a benchmark. Also I haven't been on the site for some time (maybe a few days). I am SO grateful to all of you who respond to my postings. I hope that I can reciprocate when I am feeling a little livelier. I am trying to keep my adrenals protected whilst I start the armour as I know I tried it in February and had to stop as I became even more panicky/anxious. Fingers crosse, the 1/4 grain up to today seems to be agreeing with me! Put out the flags .... I have had 3 nights in a row where I have slept for 5/6 hours in a stretch. A real miracle as I have been an insomniac since March 2007 - a horrific experience to someone who has always needed her sleep. Even as a teenager, I couldn't party .... (just shows how far back this goes). Also I have been trying to contain myself as I have been speaking to Becky Dutton at mercury madness and it appears that I have mercury poisoning (mercury lodged in the brain) from my mother working as a dental surgeon during pregnancy with me. That of course would have started the hypo t in childhood and relates to my extreme anxiety, early start of periods at age 10 ++++. It has been a shock and I am licking my wounds. I know I have to delve further to try and maybe chelate the mercury and arsenic, bismuth and uranium (the latter three have showed up in hair analysis tests - mercury in the brain does not show up ...) I want to thank you all for your support and kindness and for bearing with me. Lots of luv Keri http://thyroid.about.com/od/loseweightsuccessfully/a/tshweightlink.htm luv Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
