Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hi, My name is Marilyn I am 55, and I believe I have been hypothyroid for more than 20 years. I have been diagnosed with M.E, FMS, depression & anxiety, have suffered with IBS, had a hysterectomy for extremely heavy periods... On and on it goes . I do have a neurological condition that has deteriorated considerably over the past 5 years, this I have been told is probably caused by menopause..!! I have spent thousands of pounds on alternative and private doctors.. I do not have a diagnoses as my bloods are always 'normal'.. TSH is always around 1.5 T4 can be 9.4 up to 22.. Antibody test was normal.. Over the past 3 years I can honestly say I feel close to death at times. I have no more strength or energy to go over it all anymore. My husband is now my carer, I have read Stop the thyroid Madness , and a new book about hormones by Thierry Hertoghe He practices in Belgium .... I truly believe that this is where my problems lie, but I don't know where to start. My doctor says that sometimes we have to accept our lot and that there are no answers.!!!! This is a living death .. I really am desperate , can you give me any advice . I have such a lovely family , I want to have some life with them, that's all I ask. I hope to hear from you soon.
