Sharen,
I really enjoyed reading your letter. Keep steam cleaning your thyroid – it does get better from here. You will find out the mystery and will look back on all this and go WOW I made it through that. We will all be here for you if you need. Consider us the “steam cleaners”

Oh Sharen! I just listened to Dr. Hollis on The People’s Pharmacy and he said most people need a T3 in the 3s before they “feel good”. FWIW.

Steam clean my thyroid, what a great idea! There must be a lot of dirt, grease and grime in mine to make it feel this way. Today, I wrote on Facebook about feeling like I am on a seesaw of emotion.. Don’t you just hate the ups and downs and feeling sick, but you cannot get off the ride?! Husbands and others need to be supportive and when we are having a good day, we have to let them know that our teariest of times has nothing to do with them..that’s why it’s good to write it all down, and let us support one another here..it gets it all out one way or another..we’re here for you!

It is not only the problems the thyroid hormones (or the lack of same) cause, but no, it is also this dreaded “IISS” thingy. — What you haven’t heard of IISS? Where did you live, even Congress seems to have it these days. IISS is Insurance Induced Stress Syndrom. No, I am not making it up, I’m suffering from it.

Sharen, I hope you feel better soon.

Sheran, I feel your pain too and hope that you are now getting the medication or reduction to help get you at an even keel. Just know things will get better.

Maybe that’s all our bodies really need. The other night I was watching a show about these native guys in the US. My husband and I said that they all look healthy, happy, and they are all sizes. I am truly starting to believe that the stuff in our environment is what is making us sick. I didn’t see anyone in that tribe have mood swings or a lump in front of their throat.

As far as the docs go, you can go to three different doctors (like I did) and show them all the same blood work. And all three docs will look at it a different way. That’s why it took so long to figure mine out.

I also do something I shouldn’t do. I stop taking my meds a week or so before my blood test. That way it comes in on the low side and they don’t lower my thyroid meds. Then if I am having hyper symptoms, I just take half the med. I’m probably screwing myself, but it’s the only way I have been feeling better.

If you invent the thyroid deep cleaner system, let me know…I’ll be one of your first customers.
