Hmmmm going down hill again?

Jul 03, 2008 02:49AM - 2 comments

If you think I look bad in this pic...READ ON to find out why!

Well, I made myself a wonderful winter warmer soup of chicken, vegies, and pearl barley, just as the Naturopath suggested. It was soooooo yummy.... I ate bowl after bowl of this everyday....Then I started noticing I felt very bleaurgh again. Headaches, diahorrea, brain fog...oh yeah, gotta love the brain fog! Naturopath when I asked him about gluten in pearl barley told me no it was minimal....so after feeling like a wet towel left on the bathroom floor on a cold day I looked it up on the net....Adam! You lied! It has a ton of gluten...No wonder I feel so bleaurghy!
   Not only that, but I haven't had it for over a week, and I feel worse each day...my thoughts? The gluten has triggered off Mr Hashimoto again! My thyroid medication is fine.
   I asked him last week as to how I am going to get the calcium I need if he wants me off all dairy for a while, he then said about crushing and boiling the bones in the chicken soup to release the calcium Which is what lead me to make his recipe in the first place. Now nearly 6 weeks later, I am getting the tingles and the numbness and feeling positively poo-ey. I'm getting anxiety and racing heart and feeling totally jittery. I'm getting a blood test done tomorrow... I was supposed to go today, but feel so 'who gives a poo bum' kind of body weariness, that I figured I'd do it tomorrow.
   So, now I feel worse and back to where I started nearly 6 weeks ago...next thing will be the depression....I know this pattern from the past and I am doing all I can to not be a wet blanket. I was soooooooo narky and short tempered yesterday, my male friend actually quietly asked if my period is due...(he's a good friend, so I didn't eat his head off) I thought, hey yeah, I AM like I used to be pre-menstrual, but it ain't due for weeks yet.
   So forcing my eyes to stay open, forcing my body to sit up straight, forcing my brain to think what to make for dinner for myself and my teenage son...Pity we don't have a McDonalds in this town, I'd send him there with $50 and say, go crazy!
Oh well, the ups and downs of my life in the 6 months since my TT have been, if nothing else, intriguing!
Compare my pic with others I have on my MedHelp and you can see why I am not a happy girl!

I am sorry you are feeling so bad..but your story made me laugh and has cheered me up so I guess you can feel happy you have done your good deed for today.
We have 6 and a bit cats. One old girl is 21 and on thyroid tablets so we don't think she is going to be with us long but every year she proves us wrong and is still going and still beats everyone up on her bad days and eats everyones food. But our motto is "Cats are like potato chips you can't stop at one"
I hope its all up from here. bestest.

Sounds like HYPER to me
You sure your meds arent TOO HIGH???
Go and get your bloods done but I'd sure say you was HYPER and not Hypo.
If thats the case then the thyroxin has to be DECREASED.
Hope you are feeling better soon xxx
