- So I ate almost a whole can of peanuts last night and then ate honey nut cherios this morning for breakfast. I was in the worst situation this morning. It was aweful. Is it really from all those nuts? I hate how careful I have to be about what I...
- Lately I've been going to bed with headaches, but I find it more weird that I wake up with swollen hands! It takes a good hour for the swelling to go down, but I have never had this (without being pregnant, and no, I am not right now) Has anyone...
- So ok, after getting my labs and everything, I noticed that some other levels were off with the CBC labs she ordered so I called the office, they called me back and informed me that these tests show the function of the liver and kidneys, she said...
- So I had my doc appointment and got my lab results. The frusterating part is that they don't have a protocol for Hashimotos, they just watch it more closely (about every 3 months) and they didn't order the free T4+T3. Urgg. Next time they will just...
- I was on here some time ago and mentioned my issues and someone responded that they had hashimotos and stomach issues but that it went away after taking thyroid meds. I forgot who it was and I have questions! Please respond and tell if it's you,...
- Ok, so I've been on here a while and I have done TONS of research. Basically what I have found through my research and from different doctors is that IBS is considered an autoimmune desease, but they don't know why we get it and they don't know how...
- Ok, so my doc finally uped my meds, I've been on the new dose for 6 days now, I am finally sleeping through the night again! yay! And I had boosts of energy all day long until yesterday, my stomach flaired up again and I was in a lazy mood all day...
- Ok, I have gone 6 times and it's not even lunch time yet. It started first thing when I woke up. I am still waiting for my doc to do the camera test. But I fear it might be getting worse. And today I've noticed a pulsing sensation on my right side...
- My doc just uped my Armour to 30mg from 15mg. I am hoping that this will help me. I haven't been sleeping and it's really wearing me down. I am alittle nervous that this might make it worse. If it does then we might go Armour 15mg and add some...
- Has anyone tried the camera test? My GI doc is going to be doing a test were I swallow a camera and it takes a bunch of pictures as it travels around my digestive organs. GI specialists can do colonoscopies (I've had it done) and endoscopies, but...
- Hey just something to research and think about. My doctor (not the endo, a different one) and told me that there was a possible link with my stomach issues and my thyroid issues. I personally don't convert T4 to T3, so I have to take both, but she...
- I've been here before, but I have some changes to report and need some advice. I was put on elavil 25mg a day and it seemed to help alittle at first and then tappered off, they tried uping it to 50mg a day, but my body went haywire- I started...
- My dad is freaking out. He's had heart problems and my labs showed that I have elivated good and bad chloresterol and it says that I have a high cardiovascalor risk. What does this mean? I'm on elavil for IBS, I'm on Armour for thyroid (Hashimotos),...
- I have been here before, now being a few months later this is where I am at: I have been diagnosed with Hashimotos, we thought maybe this is what was causing my diarrhea, but now my thyroid levels are normal and I am still having issues. I was told...
- I know it's been another while since I've been on here. My wonderful PA that I was working with (at the Endo's office) left and I'm with a new one. My t3 and t4 levels came up alittle on the cytomel, but she wants me to try Armour, so I just started...
