Wow am I glad to have found this site. I have been dealing with bad health for a

long, long time and I have got to change it. My Mom dies young from heart

disease and I'm heading down the same road.

I was diagnosed with low thyroid and adrenal fatigue about 3 years ago. At the

time I was put on different meds, especially for thyroid finally settling on

30mg of hydrocortisone and cytomel (t3 only med) because of reverse t3. Things

got a little better, but not much. My adrenals have never gotten any better.

Every time I try and taper off my symptoms come right back. My thinking is that

maybe I was never put on a high enough dose. I'm just not sure.

In the past year and a half I developed what I thought was gall stones. I had

all the testing, gallbladder working at 10%...finally had it removed last

August. Things have gone downhill from there. I still have severe pain in the

area evry single time I eat, no matter what I eat. It can be water and I still

hurt. I will tell you that I had lap-band done 4 years ago, but about a year

out, after it not working for weight loss had it emptied. I'm just telling you

this in case it has anything to do with what's going on.

Now on top of all of this, I have a constant fever and my labs are always off

because of it. I recently was told, by members of another board that my iron is

very low, so this may play a part also.

I was also diagnosed with mercury poison because of 8 teeth that need to be

re-done. I am seriously considering having them all out and getting

dentures.....not kidding. I'm tired of feeling bad.

CRP test positive high

ANA tither (sp?)- positive 6 times

fatty liver disease even though I eat a very healthy diet

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.
