Guest guest Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hi all, My little sister has been having a lot of health problems for a while. She's only 22 but is tired constantly, has anxiety attacks, and has a persistent infection/skin problem on her scalp that she's had for 4 years and doctors have no idea what it is!!! She is cold all the time, has put on a bit of weight, and she is miserable. She has coeliac disease. I think there is a good chance that she's hypothyroid, and persuaded her to ask the GP to test. She was told her results were 'normal'. I'm now trying to support my sister to get a copy of her test results so that we can get a better idea of what kind of 'normal' she is! In the meantime, can anyone suggest anything that would help with the anxiety she is experiencing? The GP has been trying to put her on beta blockers and anti-depressants for years. I also had years of anxiety attacks and constant anxiety for years before I was diagnosed hypo. I'm sure there is a connection, perhaps adrenal. But is there anything she can do NOW to help her? Like vitamins, something she can buy over the counter that might help? Thanks for your help. Georgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
