Re: doc wont up my armour dose-Im venting!

[Guest guest]

Come to my house and we can have a big cry fest. I understand when you say that

you need to act alive. I can't even do that today. At least I don't have to

worry about the babies.

OMG, wake up and think straight? What is that? Half the time lately I don't

even remember my own name. My brother has commented on my spelling. I use to

type very fast, and very well... obviously not any more.

Please be carful for your little ones. And if you want to cry, I'm into that

right now.

doc wont up my armour dose-Im venting!

Been on armour a month (synthroid for about 20 years prior) and I

know I need a higher dose. I was on 137 or 150 synthroid, cant

recall right now. and Im on 120 mg of armour. (I take four 30 mg

tabs a day. I only asked to up it by another 30.) He says no.

Retest at 6 weeks the earliest, he'd rather wait 8 weeks. Geeze!

that seems a little extreme to me! Why the wait and see attitude all

the time? life is passing me by here! I have two little babies that

need me to actually act alive while I am alive! Sometimes, its so

frustrating. I am going to UP my own $%$#@!@$&*&* meds! If I dont

post again, you all know my doc was right and I was wrong. Like

another 30 is gonna kill me! (No, but it might help wake me up and

help me to think straight sometimes!)

I have accidentally taken 9 1/2 grains of generic thyroid and I'm

still around to laugh about it. One thing I've learned with this is

that if you take too much, you will know if, unless you're

unconscious. lol.

If you take too much, it's easy to remedy, just back off the upped

dosage and go back to the previous dosage. If you have a dr who is

telling you that you are stupid and don't know when you're body is

doing better, then it's time to fire him and go it alone, or if you're

too scared to do that, then get somebody who knows what they are

doing.

You have twins? Me too, only mine are 18 now....thank God I didn't

get Graves until they were older...Although they say stress can

cause Graves and teenagers certainly cause stress---did my kids make

me sick? Seriously, how old? Boys? Girls?

If I had two babies to take care of and couldn't hardly stay awake,

I'd fire this doctor and FIND ME ANOTHER ONE!!! Yikes! I've been

so sick for the past three/four years with this stupid disease and

am FINALLY feeling like a human again. I homeschool three children

and it is horrible when you feel like you're knocking on death's

door. I found a good doctor who put me on Armour but it took me

three years. Keep looking, dear! Your babies need YOU!!

Geez, Louise, girls! Like I always say " we ought to start a

club! " . Right, a stinkin' club full of criers. Or...just a club

where we can vent...or maybe a club of " worriers " !...Yeah, that's

it. I'm starting a club of worriers.

I feel for you girls. I KNOW exactly what you're saying. I think

we're going to see the light at the end of the tunnel pretty

soon....and, God knows, I've been in the " tunnel " a long, long time.

I've been depressed lately, too...AND, I know the frustration of

waiting for ignorant doctors to make their move while I sit here

helpless and suffering needlessly. Well, they haven't killed me

yet! Hang in there with me now.
