- After more than 10 years of on and off trying to conceive, I've officially decided to be done. I've had an IUD inserted, and I'm shutting the system down. If I'm never going to use it, why go through the monthly cycle, right?! I was having cycle...
- It's been a bad couple of days. Yesterday, I turned 41. I am not happy about being in my 40s, so I was quite blue yesterday. Today, a co-worker asked me "Are you going to be a mommy?". And it was like a knife to the heart because not only can I...
- I am new to this group, and quite frankly, I hesitated joining, because I'm not sure that I am like most people in this group. I am sure that most of you are trying various fertility treatments, or are pursuing adoption. That isn't me.I am 40...
- Hi everyone, it's been a really long time since I've been on here, but I'm back. So it's been two years since I was diagnosed hypo, and I'm on Erfa Thyroid (Canadian version of ndt). My numbers are good, but the weight loss is stagnant. I'm still...
- Hi everyone, I know I've not been around much lately. There are a lot of reasons, but I guess the biggest one is that I just needed time. A brief update...the last set of labs showed me hypo, but in Canada I am considered "normal", so no meds for...
- The brain fog this week is driving me nuts! I cannot concentrate on anything at all! I find myself sitting here at my desk staring at the screen, and I'm blank. Focusing myself and getting work done has been a monumental task that I have entirely...
- It has been 1 week since I decided I couldn't do it on my own, and I asked for an anti-depressant. In many ways it has felt like a bit of a roller coaster. I have felt everything from a security blanket, to anger, fear, more bouts of sadness, and...
- Based on my last three labs, my TSH has been 5.92, 1.89 and 5.19. Clearly I fluctuate. And based on Canadian ranges (0.20 - 6.0) I am considered "normal". My days look like this - I work an office job, with many meetings from 7:30am - 4:15pm. I...
- I admitted to my Dr today that I needed help. Only two people in my life know that I've admitted this. As soon as I got to my car, I started bawling.He put me on Cipralex. Anyone ever been on this medication?Gosh, I hope it helps me.....I'm a...
- Hi everyone, I know there's a lot of you here that know how to interpret results far better than I can. I'll give you results from my last two tests as well.25 Feb 2013TSH - 5.9215 Mar 2013TSH - 1.89Total T3 - 2.0Free T4 11.613 May 2013TSH -...
- If you were to ask me last week if I was lonely, I probably would have answered no. Today, I think it's a different answer this time.My brother just sent me a video of my 1 year old nephew giggling as my parents blew bubbles. My nephew lives in...
- For reference, here is my post from yesterday if you need to understand my background...http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Depression/forum/16513070-just-need-talkThe short of it is, I have thyroid and adrenal health issues, and depression can be a...
- I've never been officially diagnosed with depression. In the past, I wouldn't have categorized myself as having a chemical depression. I was bullied from the time I was 10 until my late 20s. I was taught to believe that I am nothing, that I'm not...
- Alright, so I just had my ND appointment. She has tied a few things together, thinking that there is a connection between my thyroid, my adrenals and my liver (based on my labs, urinalysis, and symptoms). She has put me on the following herbal...
- Over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed tension and aching in my mid torso area (between my hips and rib cage, both around my belly and back). As the day wears on, this tension and soreness gets worse. Some days are worse than others, and...
