- Hi guys. I'm sorry I haven't been around for a while. I traveled and when I got back got very involved in dealing with this new diagnosis of hypothyroidism and low adrenal function. I was having all kinds of symptoms and really felt like a mess. I...
- Hi all. Well, tomorrow I am flying to Indiana with my son to see aunts, uncles and cousins I haven't seen in years. They've never met my son, so this is an important trip to me. I'm also feeling anxious about it. The acupuncture seems to have really...
- Hi all. I have Meniere's disease, which requires a low sodium diet. I was recently (Friday) diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (hypothyroidism), Adrenal Insufficiency, and severe anemia. I also have had Ulcerative Colitis for about 9 years,...
- Sammy posted that great link about Dana White, and I wanted to share this as well. All have/had MD:Emily DickensonPeggy LeeAlan ShepardVincent Van Gogh (I think we all get why he cut his ear off!)Steve FrancisLes PaulJonathon SwiftMartin Lutherand...
- Hi all. I'm new to this group, just diagnosed with Adrenal Insufficiency. I know that is different than Addison's, bu they don't have a group for it separately. It is possible that I do have Addison's, but my doc has not done the test for it - she...
- I just wanted to add to my earlier post that while I think the acupuncture is helping me to avoid full-blown vertigo episodes, I'm still struggling with all the other MD symptoms, especially that "off" feeling when you know if you move to much or do...
- I promised to keep you updated on my acupuncture results. Keep in mind that my MD symptoms are closely tied to my sinus allergies. During the middle of winter and the middle of summer (here in Tucson) when nothing is blooming, about the only symptom...
- Hi all. I posted in my journal today 'cause I didn't want to take up a lot of space in a discussion with my griping. I could really use some words of encouragement ...if anyone's up to it. Please read my journal entry if you have strength to share...
- Anyone have experience with just slightly low thyroid function? Did you treat it? What has been your result? Thanks.
- I'm wondering how quickly thyroid function can drop. Can one transition from normal function to hypothyroidism in as little as a few weeks? Does thyroid function vary significantly enough that multiple tests might be required to get a true picture?...
- Anyone know how to do this? I've tried editing my profile, but can't seem to find a spot for this. When I joined a new Support Group today, the screen automatically gave me that option. Now I would like to do it for my Meniere's, but can't figure...
- Hi guys! I found a resource that might be helpful. I have a Meniett device I use (no idea if it helps, but I use it anyway just in case I would be worse without it). It's made by a company named Medtronics. If you go to their website and click on...
- Just a thought to share today.....we all work so hard to keep our symptoms at bay and stay functional. It's a lot of pressure. I've been fighting my symptoms for a few weeks now, just barely staying functional with the help of valium and my strict...
- I'm wondering if anyone has tried accupuncture, and if so, what kind of results did you have? I had my first appointment with one today. He is highly regarded in our community and I do feel a level of confidence in him. Besides the accupuncture...
- I hate to sound like I'm pushing medication. I think many of us turn to natural living to combat our disease. I know I rarely eat out and don't eat processed foods at all. I use meditation (and yoga when I'm not too dizzy) for stress reduction,...
