Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hi and welcome! Yes, doctors will try to tell you stuff is all in your head when there really is a problem. I was having problems breathing and " spells " at work so bad my hubby almost took me to the hospital several times. I thought it my be my thyroid. Goiters can get so big they can cause problems breathing. Anway, my endo told me it was anxiety and gave me samples of some kind of new anxiolytic. I handed them back because I knew I wasn't anxious and that I did have some kind of problem. He went ahead and ordered an ultrasound and chest x-ray " just to be sure " but told me to take that medication for anxiety in the meantime. the tests came back normal. In the meantime, I found out that my sister developed asthma as an adult and that many other people in my family had asthma. My sister's asthma attacks sounded just like mine. I went to my PCP and got a referral to an allergist. Guess what he diagnosed me with??? Asthma, of course...along with a bunch of allergies. Anyway, trust your instincts!!! We know our bodies better than they do!!! I also started on Levoxyl. Then my doc added Cytomel and that helped a lot but I still had a lot of issues. After I started on Armour I have felt SO much better. I strongly encourage you to do a search for Armour in our archives and you will learn SO much. I will also post a couple of links to get you started so you can learn about this wonderful hormone!!! That's why I asked my doc for Armour...so many people in this group and another thyroid group i belong to kept talking about how much better they felt on it! And Wow, what a difference it has made! http://www.armourthyroid.com/faq.html http://www.thyroid.bravepages.com/dt.html http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/mercola.htm At the next website, you'll see a search button in the upper right hand corner. do a search for Armour here. http://thyroid.about.com/library/weekly/mpreviss.htm http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/w/u/wurmstei/ Good luck & keep in touch. hugs, sheila Fisher <lisafisher@...> wrote: Hello Group- I am new to this group and I would like to share my story.

I can't seem to keep up with chores, I have a terrible time remembering to keep bills paid or take care of some important tasks and appointments. I don't want to go back tothe endo I went to before. Especially since the second appt he told me that some of my symptoms were in my head. Nothing will piss me off faster than to be told by a medical professional that I am not experiencing symptoms I know damn good and well I am. By the way his name is Caruso. So if anyone in the Reno area needs and endo...don't go to him. Anyhow, any advice or doctor recommendations anyone would be willing to give me would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi , I agree with you, the problem is the doctor. Different meds or different dosages will take care of your symptoms. Have you tried the doctor list at www.thyroid-info.com?

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 No I have not tried the complete tonic although I have seen similar recipes. I'm not much for nature's spiciness and pungency! ) I should try it sometime though; I'm sure it works well! We do often use organic ginger, cinnamon and turmeric mixed with a litle raw honey for fighting illnesses. I've been swigging on my immunity syrup all day to avoid the cold that my little snot noses woke up with this morning! We rarely get sick and when we do it ends up rather mild and short term with all the herbal assistance. ) Connie Connie Young, LMT www.LostRiverNaturals.com New herbal salves/lip balms and powders! $35 Full Body Massage~ (843)-437-3553 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
