Guest guest Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Dear Marilyn, I'm not a mod here, but also pretty new, like you. I just wanted to say - don't give up your health listening to doctors who don't care. I went through a similar thing with my own health, a long list of horrible symptoms, different specialists, terribly heavy periods and awful menopause. Before the menopause they fobbed me off with all kinds of medicines and diagnoses, and after the menopause everything was blamed on that! After many years of all this (my eyesight was getting blurry and I had constant red, inflamed and puffy eyes), I finally found a kindly eye specialist who listened to me and convinced my doctor to send me for further thyroid testing, and both hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue emerged (even though adrenal testing was not the best!). Please do try to find a doctor who will listen to your symptoms - fight for your right to be listened to! If not, remember it's your body and your health they''re messing with! There are really kind people on this group who will help you through your battle. Don't give up! best wishes > > Hi, > > My name is Marilyn I am 55, and I believe I have been hypothyroid for more than 20 years... > Marilyn Cannon > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
