Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 no we are just working from two very different systems. gracia Thank you, Dr. Gracia! [ggg] Do you mind if I get a second opinion; perhaps from someone who attended more medical school than I did [which was zero]? And who doesn't happen to sell iodine or publish fluff pieces promoting it... Gracia, I know you mean well but that's foolish. To you everything is a symptom of hypothyroidism. Your beliefs approach a religious fervor, and your mantra is cortef, Armour and iodine. I've had the arrhythmia for all of the 67 years that I can remember, while my hypothyroidism was discovered just before I joined this group. The levels of the TSH tests strongly suggest that the hypo was caught almost at once, as my TSH was only a tiny bit above the reference range; and it increased by about one point over the few weeks before my nest test. It was quickly brought back into range with Synthroid. I never had any symptoms before or after, also possibly because it was discovered and treated so soon after onset. The arrhythmia is apparently caused because I have an extra node that sends out extra pulses in my heart. It's not because of iodine deficiency or adrenal problems. My system has a life long tendency to exhibit hyperadrenalism rather than an adrenal deficit. No credible doctor in the world would diagnose me on such scant information as you have. Sorry, but one size does not fit all. . . > > Posted by: " Gracia " circe@... > <mailto:circe@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Addicted%20to%20love> > graciabee <graciabee> > > > Thu Dec 11, 2008 8:37 am (PST) > > > this is a symptom of poorly treated hypothyroidism. your doc thinks > that every symptom is a different disease. you have adrenal probs--you > would see a world of difference on cortef, Armour and iodine. this is > why I think most peeps get very poor medical care. > Gracia > > I also have arrhythmia.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 have you checked to see if SeaMonkey has a spell checker ?

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 actually Gracia, statistics have shown that most people don't even question their doctor...few even get a 2nd opinion before undergoing surgery, etc. Even the pediatrician who diagnosed our daughter's lyme disease told us that! (and this, when we had already gone round and round with the family doc. office, trying to get our daughter treated for lyme from the beginning) He told us, " Thank God you weren't like the majority of people; most people would not have questioned their family doctor's diagnosis...don't question about most anything as a matter of fact...but thank God you do! The next 24-48 hours are going to be critical!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Most people [about 95%] opt to give their bodies T4. So maybe you're right... .. .. > > Posted by: " Gracia " circe@... > <mailto:circe@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Addicted%20to%20love> > graciabee <graciabee> > > > Thu Dec 11, 2008 9:31 pm (PST) > > > most ppl would opt for giving the body what it needs. the allopathic > approach is " to control " . > gracia > > That may be so, but all the credible evidence suggests that in a > controlled double blind study the results would drop to placebo or chance. > > My heart rate was never slow; as a matter of fact it was always on the > high side.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Seamonkey has a spell checker; I just hit " send " when I meant to hit " spell " . Incidentally, the spell checker is the most horrid one I've ever seen; although generally I think Seamonkey is top notch. I often wind up using Google as a spell checker. I've also installed Wordweb but haven't gotten used to using it yet. .. .. > > Posted by: " cindy.seeley " cindy.seeley@... > <mailto:cindy.seeley@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Addicted%20to%20love> > cindy.seeley <cindy.seeley> > > > Fri Dec 12, 2008 5:59 am (PST) > > have you checked to see if SeaMonkey has a spell checker ? > Firefox does, so maybe it will also work for SeaMonkey... > > > > > > > > > > > Sorry, I hit the send button in error.
