Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 , I spent nine years, wrapping my elbows with cream and bandages every night, and wearing long silk underwear year-round. Only when my TSH got to 78 and I'd gained 55 lbs was I given T4. My weight has never normalized and my T3 remains low. Then, I spent 14 years with high calcium until I got so ill something had to give. Since those times, I have taken it upon myself to study, study, study. I'm tired of incompetence and outright idiots. Val From: hyperaldosteronism [mailto:hyperaldosteronism ] On Behalf Of mmcandmcc I had a similar experience with Thyroid troubles. Because you know you're not crazy, you'll keep searching and you will find the answers even if it takes a long time. When I went hyperthyroid I went to the doc with 190/126, lost 20 lbs in one month and could not sleep. She told me I had too many kids, too much stress and needed antidepresents and beta blockers. Oh and get more exercise, although at the time I was running 20 - 30 miles per week. Three doctors later I went to my midwife in dispair who listend to my symptoms and said I likely had a thyroid problem and told me to see and Endo. I had graves! Keep searching. I've had a lot of luck with alternative medicine on some things and no luck on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
