Have you had your thyroid gland tested for hypothyroidism? For years I was told I had fibromyalgia, and what it really was was hypothyroidism, meaning my thyroid wasn’t producing enough thyroid hormone. If your doctor suggests you take Synthroid, Levoxyl, or any other thyroid hormone, run like the devil. I did that for 25 years, and it so damages the body that you start feeling like you’ve got fibromyalgica. It is best to see a homeopathic doctor or one who believes in natural hormones to get it treated, because the thyroid naturally produces at least 5 hormones, and most of the medications prescribed by endocrinologists or MD’s only have one hormone in them called T4. You’ll feel better taking natural, desiccated thyroid that contains all of the hormones. See website drlowe.com for more information. Good luck to you.

Every May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month. Organizations, such as yourself have been the catalyst for such high awareness, but as you know this can not be the only time we think of this disease. Disease.com is dedicated to spreading the awareness for the Celiac Disease, causes, preventions, symptoms, and of course treatments. Through our disease profiles we have been able to work with several elite non-profit organizations. Now we want to work with you. If you could, please list us as a resource or host our social book mark button, it would be much appreciated. Let’s create a medical breakthrough, through established awareness.If you want more information on that please email me back with the subject line as your URL.

Comment on Nasal Sores, Fibromyalgia, and Sjogens Syndrome by Lisa

Listen, very important. I have Celiac Disease and Sjogens Syndrome. If you have any type of autoimmune disorder, please do extensive research on Celiac. After researching this and all the associated symptoms, I realize that all my issues cleared up when I went on a gluten free diet. I could list the symptoms here, but they are way too extensive. Anyone with IBS, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, aches and pains, arthritus, dry eye, neuropathy, trouble breathing and about any other issue should research Celiac – including those diagnosed with Lime Disease. Do yourself a favor and do the research. Google on things like “Testimonials of people who stopped eating wheat” and find out just how many people were cured of these other so called diseases. Symptoms just vanish. Good luck to you!

Because on Aug. 14 ago, I was diagnosed with a Popliteal Abscess on my left knee! An I&D was done on Aug. 28, and later the seam was opened and re-sutured on the Sep. 03. My knee isn’t fully healed yet – and the worst thing is, I got Foot Drop!! — and now another lump is coming?! God, what’s going on with my life, really??

And here I am, 24 years old on the Oct. 12, female, not smoking, not drinking, clean. But last night, I noticed there’s a lump under my right arm. It seems only “feelable” when I flex my arm. Don’t tell me I have cancer!

Comment on My Fibromyalgia by Gina

I believe fibro is linked to hair loss. I was diagnosed with fibro in 2005, but my hair had already begun to fall out before the diagnosis. My hair loss has not stopped and no matter what I do, it will not completely stop. I may go for a couple of months and notice significantly reduced amount of hair loss and out of nowhere it will begin to fall out at a much faster rate.

Comment on Things I have to let out…the loneliness is killing me by Anonymous

hi,

i know you are going through a lot due to physical illness,
but you have a lot to be thankful for like your husband who loves you, and your kid. You have a loving family that you can cherish.

I guess part of your problem is
- physical illness
- lack of excercise
- no social circle
- chilhood molestation
-passing away of your dad and aunt

Here is how you can address these problems:
- Physical illness : Eating healthy, praying to god, reducing stress would help
- lack of excercise – even if you cant do major excercise like jogging or weight training, walking should do you some good, the key is to get some endorphins ( happy hormones secreting in your body)
- no social circle – u can always volunteer for some groups , maybe they will serve as an outlet for you to discuss some of your problems.
- childhood molestation: Unfortunately life throws some bad events to some of us, but that is in the past, there is no use thinking of that, nothing good is going to come out of it, all one can do is to be careful, and block out such memory. You were referring to the tree and the way u cut the tree that reminded you of the past, but you have to remind yourself that it was the past and you had no control of that situation. You have to forgive yourself, and stop feeling like a victim, but rather take control of your life now.

- passing away of your dad and aunt:
you have to accept that this is life, we all grow old and we have to pass sometime or other. Unfortunately the time is up for some of us earlier than others, so we have to make the best use of the time we have right now.

This is how every one of us in this world are living. Every one face some problem or other in their life, it just is not apparent on the outside, but that doesnt mean we all give up. We have to fight back. That is what makes us smart in the end and this is what makes the difference.

Hope it helps.

Angela I am so sorry to hear your dilema. My prayers will be with you that everything will turn out like it did for me, nothing to worry about. It is a scary thing to go through but whatever the outcome remember that the blogging community will be here for you if you need support.

Best of luck!

Just to add another comment from another Angela, I wish the both of you good luck.

I’m 33 (nonsmoker) and discovered a lump under my armpit on July 22, 2009. Ironically it was the day after I saw my GP (a new one but clearly not a good one) and she did a breast exam. Clearly it wasn’t thorough enough. I didn’t think anything of it but I mentioned it to my Gyn (who I saw a week later) and she of course immediately ordered an ultrasound.

It took a couple of weeks to get the results and I’ve been in denial – especially since my lump has gotten smaller (there are times I have to really search to find it). My Gyn said the results came back fine but that I might want to have a specialist look at it and may be do a biopsy. But she didn’t give me a referral to anyone – just a phone number to call where a bunch of specialists have a practice.

I let the ball drop because well I’ve been denial as I said before. But it has weighed so heavily on my mind. So I made an appt for next week.

It’s very scary. No one in my family or any friends have ever had cancer so all I know is what I read and what is on the tv. I have not even told anyone so it’s a breath of fresh air to write this.

Good luck again to the both of you. I hope everything works out ok for all of us.
