Wiggler- SO glad Cam is coming home
Hoping you didn't cancel Dylan's HV visit- it's so important you keep him on track with figuring out what's up- and if you just breathe for a moment and really think about it, you know it is the right thing- I know how hard it is to push past this point with the meds, I've been there- But focus on that light at the end of the tunnel that it does get easier, they DO work, you just have to keep moving forward- it won't be long now
Harvey- I have to get insurance straightened out first, but we're working on it- I have done a fair amount of research and hypothyroidism would explain just about everything I've got going on, even some of my tummy issues as it can cause heartburn and IBS
Hypothyroidism can also cause
* Fatigue
* Sluggishness
* Increased sensitivity to cold
* Constipation
* Pale, dry skin
* Moderate to severe itchy skin
* A puffy face
* Hoarse voice
* An elevated blood cholesterol level
* Unexplained weight gain
* Inability to loose weight
* Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness
* Pain, stiffness or swelling in your joints
* Muscle weakness
* Heavier than normal menstrual periods
* Brittle fingernails and hair
* Depression
I have also found other sources that say it can cause blurred vision, and the weird lump in the throat feeling I've got going on
Also dry cracked skin on hands and feet, splotchy skin on face, neck and chest, numbness or tingling in extremities
Until I can get to a doctor, I am looking into what the treatments there are and what/if there are natural treatments rather than meds
Mummy- you should check out Old Navy's Spring Cleaning event-
It's sometime the end of March, Beginning of April- you would have to ask your local stores (I think there's one at the Camelback Colonnade ?) exactly when- BUT, they clearance out the CLEARANCE- 30-50 percent off their clearance prices- I go get two HUGE bags for about $50
Just buy for the next year and stock up!
