Guest guest Posted September 10, 2002 Report Share Posted September 10, 2002 Gall stones. Ouch. One of my all-time worst pain moments ever was my first, last & only gall bladder attack. First I was afraid that I was dying & then I was afraid that I wasn't. We have pretty much the same pain problems. I have a few more, but I am 22 years older than you. Well met & well come, Kim.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 Hello Kim, what are you using for pain relief at this time? Elavil helped me with migraine and IBS. I have no children, and I hope to be well enough some day to have a family. Welcome, I am a new member, too. Leigh. Kim Heuston wrote:Hello everybody, I am new here and wanted to introduce myself.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Welcome, ! This is a great board. We trade a lot of information and there are many really helpful and smart folks. Jan probably told you that we occasionally have meetings in cities like Dallas, Houston, Austin, San . I joined the group in the summer of 2004 when I was getting really sick and the regimens I was put on weren't working. My pcp here in Dallas had given up on me and I found a great doc recommended on the board and have been feeling better and better since then. I have Hashimoto's and am on Armour and a lot of other support meds. My mom was hypo and had two miscarriages before she had me. This was way back in the 1940s. She found a good doc who put her on Armour, boosted her iron and other vitamins and minerals and she was finally able to have me. I think I started having more serious hypo symptoms about 15 years ago, and various doctors ignored my complaints. I probably had the condition much earlier than that. Just fyi, members sometimes post their labs for others to comment on, and if you should ever care to do that, be sure to give each lab result and also the lab range along with it. And Jan recently reposted some information about posting. When you respond to someone's post, be sure to trim all of the unnecessary posts in the thread and just show what you are replying to. Also, try to put a title in the subject line that pertains to your discussion. We'll look forward to chatting with you -- Sara > > Hi there, I'm . > > I'm a twenty-three year old college student (almost done!) in Houston and have had hypothyroidism for almost six years. I've heard it can get passed down a maternal line, so I was surprised to find out I did have hypothyroidism. Still, my mother discovered she had hypothyroidism soon after giving birth to me, so when I found out I suffered from it, we shared it. > I take Armour (120mg) and have taken Synthroid (ranged from 115-175 in the past--I can't say much for the differences between the two based on my own experiences, though I think each have helped in different ways. I'm wanting a new doctor, though. Thanks to Jan, who has given me some really helpful information today! > > - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 There are specific chromosomes where the weak links are located, and yes, they are specific. HLA-DR3 or something like that for either Grave's or Hashimoto's, and other garbldy sounding chromosome #s that I can't remember specifically what they stand for. It does, however, many times, take certain circumstances to bring it forward in some people, but in certain families it's going to come forward anyway. I could have sworn I just posted some links to that question, but I'm not seeing it here. Re: Hello > Hello everyone, > > Are you sure about that statement that hypo is rarely hereditary.

I have found out years later, that my aunt (mom's > sister), my great aunt (my mother's aunt) and my uncle (mom's > brother) all have it too. Perhaps I need some clarification on > this.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Mazz I am out here – just come back from a dinner with my partner and enjoying a glass of wine and some nice music. Tomorrow I am off to Dubbo for a few days with work and every time I get in that small plane and don’t have to ask for a seatbelt extension I thank the day I had the op! I tend to lurk a bit in this group – am currently studying and have exams next week but after that I look forward to meeting you all at one of your fabulous social do’s! Have a nice night everyone Cheers Anne From: SydBand [mailto:SydBand ] On Behalf Of Mazz Sent: Thursday, 16 October 2008 9:47 PM To: Sydband Subject: Hello HELLO IS ANYONE OUT THERE??!!!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hi Anne Isn't it wonderful not having to ask for seatbelt extenders? I went to UK last year and all I could think of was oh my goodness I can fit in the seats with out an extender, my sister laughed at me. Have a good time in Dubbo. Good luck with your exams, I always go to pieces with exams so much so when I started my last job and we had training I failed the exams then the trainer realised that I did know what I was talking about so she asked me the questions verbally and then got me to write the answers down and all was well. Look forward to meeting up with you in the future.
