I also had Hashi's and a goieter that was casuing me great
problems...I had a Total Thyroidectomy last month and I am now on
thyroid meds and doing really, really well...but I agree, I went two
years with out doing anything and I was so sick...now I have my life
back!! Go see a Doctor...this causes depression and a whole lot of
other issues...it doesn't just effect your weight and energy....you
would be amazed at how much better life can be. I also see an
Endo...but mine sees me every six weeks. Good luck and Wanda...sorry
to hear you are still having problems...that is a bummer!

a goiter that was choking me to death. Mine is uncontrolable. I go to
the doctor every three months now verses every month. I do not go see
an endo doctor. They want to see you every six months or so and thats
not cool with me. I have bloating and tiredness so bad I dont get up
out of the bed. I also have heart paputations and chest pain also bad
headaches and hair falling out plus bad eyesight caused from this .
I have other stuff too but thats not the point right now. You ladies
need to go see a medical doctor. I will stress this to the point
that, oh well
> I will tell you , my friend died a couple of months ago from a
massive heart attack. He was hyperthyroid. I have researched this to
the point I feel very educated on the subject.

controls every organ in your body plus the hormons in your body. when
thats off your whole body is out of sink.
> If you hurt in your chest ,,,,got to go to the doctor!!! Over a
period of time it wears on the heart whether you are hypo or hyper.
It also mimicks gallbladder,lung,pancreas,liver,
> stomach and intestinal problems. this is no joke cause it
happened to me. The day I had my thyroid and goiter removed my ear
nose and throat doctor told me and my husband to please take your
meds cause this will kill you.She told me she was very honest with
her patients and she justs cuts out the bullcrap. people think
thyroid is not serous but ladies it is. Im 46 and feel like Im 60 or
70 sometimes. But I go on. You think about this--- if the pituitary
controls every organ and hormonal changes, then that should get you
thinking right? People dont pass away with what they are diagnosed
with , they pass away from what that diagnoses caused. Like kidney ,
heart, weak lungs and such. I have to say this scares me a litlle but
I have very good doctors and trust them wholely.
