Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 Caro, I have taken him to the Doc and made him read everything. He thinks if I take the list of meds that Might help I will be all better. I'm so sick of it I've even looked into finding an assisted living home that would take my kids but to no avail. They wonder why I want to kill myself. Well Duh. I'm trapped in a prison and forced to do things I can no longer do and then yelled at when I can't move. Who in their right mind would want to live? If I was a dog I'd have been put down already. Teddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2000 Report Share Posted June 16, 2000 Teddy, I noticed that you wrote in another e-mail that no wonder you wished to die..that concerns me. I have had moments like that also, but have managed to pull myself back time and again just by thinking that after I died, I would have to face my creator and explain to him why I couldn't hack it. You know, sometimes life can really get you down, but during those times is the best time to back up, reflect on where you want your life headed and to make changes to get it going that way. I know that you feel all alone in this pain syndrome as do we all at times, but you really aren't alone....we are here for you. I wish you lived in Washington State cause I would go to your house, punch your DH right in his smiling little gambling face, pack you up and take you home with me. You deserve better than that.....you just need to realize it yourself and do something about it. If I can be of any help, you can e-mail me privately if you need to at bustemup@... and I will do whatever I can to help. Take care of yourself Teddy....you do have a purpose here and life is just waiting for you to begin living it. Gentle Huggs Debbie G. Re: I'm with you Tasha.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2000 Report Share Posted June 16, 2000 Pam, Wish that any of these were a possiblity for me. But unlike alot of you I'm incapable of taking care of myself let alone 4 kids alone. I am a cripple on top of the Fibro and the MS. I have scoliosis cervical through lumbar, spinal arthritis, and disk degerative disease. I'm unable to drive I have permanent brain damage from my thyroid being too inactive for too long. Leaving is not an option unless I want to give up my kids and go into a nursing home. They are all that keeps me alive. Teddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 Teddy, I'm really sorry to hear how bad it is for you. Are you on any kind of disability? It sure sounds like you would qualify. Since leaving the situation is not an option, have you ever tried therapy, just so you can have someone to talk to. I know when I when through a real hard time, therapy was my life line to life! My prayers are with you. Pam DuBois Soft Hugs to You Today & Remember, Educated People Heal Themselves!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 No I'm not eligible for any assistance makes too much money. Therapy doesn't help last time I went to therapy the sided with and the time before that would come in a run the session. Sorry there are no solutions for me. I know your intentions are good but there is no hope for me. Teddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 Debbie, I was underactive and untreated for almost three years. your Thyroid is what helps control brainwaves and since mine was not treated for so long it keeps sending the wrong messages. And yes it's permanent. I've seen the endocronologist about it and they said there was nothing they could do they should have checked it before but they kept sending me to the shrink. Alot of times an underactive thyroid can cause mental disorders and some people end up in a mental institution before it's discovered and then they can only be improved to a certain level. If you are being treated I wouldn't worry a bit. I had everything. They thought I was losing my mind. I didn't do anything but stay in bed because I was afraid that everything would kill me. Even answering the phone. Was the worst three years of my life. NOt all of that is gone I'm still afraid of the public and still afraid of food. You shouldn't take any antidepressants if you have a thyroid disiease either. They don't tell you that but I've done alot of research on it. They both effect the metabolic region in your brain and you can end up crazier if you do or mess up your thyroid worse. HOpe this helps you.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 Teddy, I didn't know that you could get brain damage from your thyroid being too low for too long of a time....how long was yours not working? I have the underworking thyroid problem also and it most likely would not have been caught if I hadn't told the doctor I wanted it checked....that is really scary. Also, how much brain damage did you sustain? Is this permanent? How did they know it was linked to your low thyroid level? All these questions and no answers! Please write back....I think I would like to be armed with information. Gentle Huggs, Debbie G. Re: I'm with you Tasha.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 I have a question... does anyone know if thyroid problems are inherited? My Grandma has a thyroid problem and she takes some type pill every other day and had radiation on it years ago... I ask because anything that is inherited I seem to get. LOL Oh how I would love to wish for an ordinary cold..... Thanks gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 I'm really sorry Teddy, I wish I could help. If nothing else, we are here for you. can't run us and we won't side with him. Maybe we can come up with some ideas together. It's too bad you can't go to therapy for just you alone and not even include . It would be something just for you. However, it sounds to me that is pretty controlling and most likely wouldn't allow that. I'll keep thinking of you. Pam DuBois Soft Hugs to You Today & Remember, Educated People Heal Themselves!

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2000 Report Share Posted June 19, 2000 , If your Grandma had thyroid problems, I would get my thyroid checked if I were you. My mom had thyroid problems and so did my brother, one of my sisters and myself. Debbie G. Re: I'm with you Tasha.
