Ever since I've been treating my sleep disorder everything with my body is working better.
My Synthroid dosage is now too high. Slowly decreasing the dosage. My left ear has been whistling. I am hoping that will go away as my decrease in dosage continues. I know I've read about ears whistling on here but I don't recall what was said.
It was so frustrating getting up to the dosage I was at and know equally frustrating going down. I understand it has be gradual...
The weight that I was struggling to shed is mostly gone now. I gained 35 pounds and now I've lost most of it; I only need to lose 7 pounds. I'm sure that as soon as I can start working out again, it will go as well.
I just received a letter this weekend that my Endocrinologist is no longer going to be taking our insurance. We have a big carrier so this is very surprising. I have read so many horror stories about finding the right doctor and was very fortunate to have mine. Now I will have to pay out of pocket and get reimbursed. In other words out of network so I will pay more. I'm very disappointed about this. The group he belongs to is recognized in the Austin area as the best. I may try to stick with him for a little bit in 2015.

The ear whistling could also be due to a patulous eustachian tube (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patulous_Eustachian_tube). Weight loss or hormonal imbalance causes it. I can hear my own breathing sometimes, too. Will try the iron thingy and see if it goes away. For temporary relief 1) bend the head forward at the neck, 2) lay down, or 3) stick your head between the knees.
The stretch you mentioned is what I do when my back is hurting each & every night! Chiropractor is helping that so not having to do it as many times each night. I'll try that when the whistling is really bad to see if it helps.
