Re: Sorry, I'm going to moan...again...

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila,

I had my ferritin, and B12 checked and they were both nice and high

in the range. I don't believe my vit D was tested, but I will check

and see if I can get it done. I did the spit test and it didn't grow

legs, so don't think I have candida...

I did have antibodies to my thyroid when I was first diagnosed about

10 years ago, but I haven't had it tested since, so I don't know what

stage my hashimoto's has reached. Dr P said he could feel a lot of

fibrous tissue in my thyroid, and so I think it may well have got to

the end stage...

I don't have amalgam fillings, although I did break a mercury

thermometer a while ago, so maybe that is the problem, I did mention

that to Dr P and he said that it doesn't matter if it is, as the

treatment is still the same.

I did manage to get Dr P on the phone this morning, and it seems he

suspects adrenal, but cannot be sure, so he wants me to do a trial of

adding in some hydrocortisone to the pred over the next few weeks and

see how that goes. He thinkls that will help him know if it is the

thyroid or adrenal causing the problem. I have made an appointment

to talk to him on my return as he feels we need to sort this out,

particularly if the raised dose isn't helping...

Interestingly, I am feeling much better today (and I am writing this

at 1pm and have no issues so far), althoguh I have woken up with pink

eye!

Thanks for your help Sheila, as always!

I

think if it had " got to the end stage " Leah, you wouldn't be able to

feel any thyroid tissue whatsoever. Mine has been destroyed completely. Glad

you have phoned Dr P and that he has confirmed my own suspicions. Let's hope

the HC does the trick. Anyway, go on your holiday and have a wonderful time and

don't worry about this problem.

Luv -

Sheila
