Topic: RE: hypo thyroid hoopla
Thank you Connie,
I think that anyones pain doesn't matter who's it is or how it is when it belongs to the person feeling it its the worst! i think i always worry that people are going to think I'm a baby which i am! and i never want anyone to think gee she always complains - which i do! hahaha but i dont 'want anyone to think i think mine is worse than anyone elses. god i confuse myself sometimes
i'm eating more calories this week than ever but am losing weight! now how stupid is that????
i think it might be what i am eating...duh
b. egg, cheese, 1/2 whole wheat, 1/2 cup berries (straw & blues)
s. atkins bar
l. 1/2 wheat 3oz sliced ham 15 seedless grapes
s. maybe a banana& cheese stick or 4oz cottage cheese with rasins
d. 3 to 4 oz meat or chicken some kind of vegi and some kind of fruit
s. peanut butter with apple, or atkins bar, or grapes
i'm not eating after 8pm unless the LBS is acting up I'm drinking my water inbetween. doing the vitamins & suppliments from the naturalist doc and 3 to 4 nights a week walking the other nights doing floor excersizes - crunches leg lifts and other leg stuff plus push ups
what is different about the food part is that i'm gotten away from bad carbs doing whole wheat and fruits to get my carbs now thats not a big difference cause this is pretty much what i've always eaten with the exception of more fruits the big difference is the cut back on the bad carbs like wheat thin crackers. i was eating almost 1/2 a box a day! it was opened next to me in the car and as all or most of you know i drive all day seeing customers. that opened box was a help when i'd get a LBS attack caus i could reach in grab a cracker and make it go away fast.
unfortuantely it wasn't a lasting help. the fruit is better as long as i have it with a protein like cheese stick with my banana or cottage cheese with strawberries.
i totally went cold turkey with the wheat thins. stopped eating them monday. threw away the boxes i had stocked up. i miss them. very much. but i'm liking the scale better. i just told myself hey if you need the wheat thins that bad just stop at a store buy a box eat a few then throw it away. so far i've not done that it just makes me feel better to know i can if i want to.
this weekend will be hard. the guy and i get together every weekend not that he encourages me to eat he doesn't if anything he pushes me to eat like he does. he just doesn't understand he's a man and he's bigger plus very athletic so of course he can eat more. and he can go longer in between meals.
LOOK AT ME GOING ON AND ON AGAIN!!!! OMG i talk way to much!!!! oh well thats a help in my business!
have a great day!

Kimberly, this is absolutely fabulous. It is so hard for any kid to graduate HS these days (and I think I saw a statistic somewhere that almost 50% of kids don't finish), but for someone with the challenges that Rachael has, well that's just outstanding. You know, of course, that you are the biggest reason Rachael is the fighter and determined young woman that she turned out to be. She has an awesome role model in you. Be proud of Rachael and be equally proud of you.
I know tomorrow will be a horrific day, but you just have to put one foot in front of the other. The bad news is that you have to go through this trauma with the kids' father, but the good news is that when tomorrow is done, you never have to repeat that day again.

Torture away. I'm always glad to hear your medical stories because I learn from them. Not glad that you have the experience, but glad that you share them.
All of my sisters, my mother , all of my aunts and both of my grandmothers have thyroid issues. I do not. I don't understand this. My metabolism crawls, or at least i think it does, yet my tests always come out normal. I hope that the endocrinologist can help you. I know that thyroid issues can cause all sorts of fatigue and issues other than weight gain so here's to you getting peppy and skinny!
You know Pam, I never compare pain. I can't say that my pain is any worse than anyone else's because how do you quantify that? I may be a really big baby and you are just able to tolerate more than me. You never know. Don't discount your pain as any less than anyone else's.
I understand the frustration of having a chronic condition and don't blame you for feeling down about the LBS. It's frustrating when you feel like you're doing everything right, but your body is betraying you.
Let us know what the Endo says.

Hi Pammi...Bill's doing ok...I took him out with me this eve to get medicine, his first time out of the house and it wore him out, I ended up making him get in a wheel chair and strolled him around. Mentally...he amazes me, his attitude is great...Im not sure if its show to keep me going or what, but he seems to be doing wonderful in that aspect. How I dont know when everything is falling apart around him...he's a good man. He had his second dopper test this past Tuesday and it showed a very slight improvement not much but some, so thats good....I just dont know...we have another cat scan set for June 22 get the results on the 23rd so...thats a big one...Im scared to death but anxious just the same. I tell you I am so ready for 2010...that has got to be a better year, I dont think I can stand much more pain...but we will all get through everything...I keep telling myself that...one day at a time. I already have my list for tomorrow set...probate lawyer...and what I dont want to do, the release of my childrens fathers body...its going to be a very hard day, Ill be ok. oh well life goes on, I guess its got too. Im reading what I just typed in that last sentence it looks harsh but I dont mean it that way guess if you can see me its a sigh..oh never mind...its hard to get my feelings across the computer and Im rambling here and Im so tired but cant sleep...things have got to look up soon. But Pammi thank you for asking and putting up with my problems...I really dont have any other way to release my thoughts...Im so afraid of upsetting the kids or Bill and making them worse, this is all I know I can do is type to my friends on this or go hide and cry, Im really trying here but its so hard. shoot damn it I swore I wouldnt get on a roll and get upset darn if I didnt do it again I just wish this all would go away. Ok Im alright...bare with me you all its going to be rough for awhile but Ill make it and so will the kids and Bill Im determined to see that. Im ending this now while Im on a positive mindset again for five minutes.

Topic: hypo thyroid hoopla
ok dookey kids!
i'm learning more an dmore about this stupid health crap than i ever wanted to.
for many many years i've floated through life without any serious health issues. ok so i was mobidly obesis got that taken care of. then there is my back problems nothing like connies but not fun. knees - bad check! blah blah blah
i guess i feel i've been lucky cause i would get a problem then i'd do what i had to and i was lucky enough that things would work out enough that it didin't majorly impact my life style.
but this LBS thing has got me down!
its better now. i'm actually doing pretty good.
went to the naturalist doctor who had done my blood work again to check levels that hadn't been great before. the vitamin D is still lower than what she wants so now my dosage is higher. the B is ok continue with what i'm doing for that. other stuff is ok enough to continue what i'm doing. the LBS is gonna be what its gonna be from now on so i have to do what i'm doing to keep it under control. check
the thyroid not so hot! after 3 months the levels have gotten higher instead of lower they've doubled. she feels that i have a hypothyroidisum thingy. the homepathic stuff isn't lowering it. its doubled since my first visit with her (i've had 4) so she is sending me to a endocronologist thingy cause she feels she can not help me further with the thyroid and its time for pharmacy meds.
ok i'm game. as long as i start to feel better.
the LBS makes me tired/sluggish and so does the thyroid it might take a while but hopefully i'll get my energy back. i've also got other issues with this that wil be nice to be taken care of.
what i did not know is thyroid is hereditary. my mom and my daughter have meds for it and i'm right in the middle so there ya go.
ahhhhhhhhhh
i'm not complaining just typing with the hope someone is reading its kinda like how we vent to girl friends on the phone cept my bestest friend's eyes rolled into the back of her head the last time i went into a LBS yak so now i'm tortuchering you guys!
