Did the doc give you some thyroid/nutrition info when you last saw him?

I just did a quick search and it looks like aspartame can be more than a bit of a problem in re thyroid function/dysfunction. Maybe try to stay away from artificial sweeteners/diet sodas til you see the doc?


Not really. Mostly just to take atenolol and wait it out. Sad

Bella - do lots of research now.

You need to be ready with lots of questions when you see the doc and the specialist. Have stuff written down - have someone, hubby/friend, with you when you go in - to make sure the questions get asked - and to take notes/be an extra set of ears.

I know I'm a bit nutty about it, but this http://medlineplus.gov/ is a great resource with lots of links to studies/research/discussions on meds/tx/diagnoses.

Knowing what you can, can really help you feel stronger and more in control of things.

He just doesn't "get it" the same as no one else gets it. Well, you guys get it but...He is the type that is like "if you are here you must be ok". No sympathy here.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best I've ever felt) yesterday I was a 3 and today a 5. So things are looking better.

Hmmm. I always thought of Bella as a "10."

Hope today is better, Bella. Hang in there.

I hope so. I haven't felt this way in about 3 weeks so I was doing so well. *sigh* Can't wait to get this straightened out. I feel like a damn hypochondriac.
