Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 well, I made it, the whole day, no beta blocker, and I'm headed to bed now, so it's official! Pam B. Diagnosed 12/01 (hyper with both graves and hashimotos ABs) Mostly Alt Med - doing MUCH better. Numbers very close to normal and ABs going away.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2002 Report Share Posted November 19, 2002 Pam B, COOL !!! That didn't seem to take very long. Keep them with you just in case. I had 'moments' back then, and learned to always have one in the bottom of my wallet. Just in case. The first time I was SO brave, I left home with NONE...later I had an 'event' and the panic of having nothing with me, set me off into a worst situation. Still not sure what I ate that night that started the whole thing. But it is very possible, that if I had a pill there, the panic and horrid heart issue might not have happened. -Pam L- ex addict who STILL has one in my wallet :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 Hi Pam - This is so exciting! I pray you are able to stay off of the betas. It will be great if we all could exchange our betas for hawthorne berries. Just try to keep calm and " don't sweat the small stuff " to help with this transition. Also I might suggest keeping your selenium intake low. It sure has made a world of difference to letting me lower my inderal dosage. I hope to dump it myself eventually. Definitely going to try to get some hawthorne. The selenium content in foods info, in case you're interested is here: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/SR15/wtrank/wt_rank.html Scroll down and click on " selenium " Best of luck to you!

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 oooh Granny, I'm feeling a bit short tempered today grrr. I know it will pass. I'm not taking any more betas... I have my bottle of hawthorne berry in case I need it. The thing is my heart is F.I.N.E. I know this short tempered thing is withdrawals.... it's not going to get the better of me today or tomorrow... I won't let it. Pam B. (who is feeling better all of a sudden because the morning fog has suddenly lifted and we finally have a pretty day, it's been gray and rainy for weeks, and now some blue sky and sun. Oh the mountains are beautiful... we will have to get out and go for a walk and soak up some of those views!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
