Guest guest Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hi again , Wow, what a wealth of information you supplied. That will keep me busy for a good long time. I'm a bit more confused now than ever.......but hopefully in time my knowledge will grow and I'll be able to figure out what the heck is going on with me. I know I'll be asking my endo if I have Hashitoxicosis (boy that word is a mouthful!) and I'll be sure and get copies of my biopsy along with the latest lab results. I do have Elaine's book and since I'm not hypo now, I think I can wait a bit before ordering more to read right now. If I understood some of what I read from all the links you provided, it almost sounds like the hyper place I'm at now is like a reaction to something that the Hashi's has done....like a rebound effect? (If I've got the toxicosis thing going on.) I'm guessing it will all boil down to treating the symptoms and God willing staying in the target zone for me. I'm most likely to freak out over the eye stuff right now.....I so don't want to go down that path. :-( Hoping for the best on that one! Maybe I'll have to break down and try a brazil nut or two again. It has been years since I ate one and my dislike is totally based on a hazy memory of going " blech " . :-) I figure if I can make myself down the flaxseed oil twice a day, I could probably choke down a nut or two. Wherever do you find them though? Can't think of the last time I saw those in a store...they certainly aren't by the Planter's Peanuts! Maybe Trader Joe's will have them..... My multi is one that the nice folks down at my local health/vitamin store (with whom I've developing a verra close relationship with since this all started!) got me onto. It's by Nature's Life and is called Full Spectrum Antioxidant Soft Multi, CoQ10, Lutein, Lycopene, Iron and Iodine free. Seems to be doing the trick for now. :-) I'll keep you in my prayers so that you hook up with a good doctor. And that your heart rate stabilizes. While mine has never zoomed outta site like some of the folks here (and I pray that everyone with that gets it down to normal) I certainly don't like the missing beats and funky rhythym it does from time to time. So you don't want to have your rate drop to down around the 60 range? I thought I had read somewhere that a range of in the 60's to 70's is normal for woman but I could be mis-remembering. I do that a lot lately it seems. :-) So much information, so little brain! I'll have to go the mediboard and check out the action over there. Thanks for the tip. Have yourself and great weekend and since I'll be out of town for it, I'll see everybody next week! Take care of yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
