Radha

thanks for your replies,

Radha

for those of you who have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, can you tell me what your TSH value was? i think mine is high but my doctor says its in

normal range, its 4.26 and i was just wondering how it compares with others.........i want to try armour thyroid but dont need more problems, thanks for any

input,

Radha

does a low sed rate mean anything? mine is 4, but i have lyme and other infections so i was expecting a high sed rate, any input would be appreciated, thanks so so much

Radha

thanks so much for your advice, i will start slowing cutting back

Radha

i want to try octreotide so badly but doctor says its too risky doing it at home and will not let me try it, its so frustrating!

Radha

i have been taking digoxin for years and all of a sudden, doctor says i dont need it and to just stop it but i dont feel right just stopping it suddenly, what do

you think? i really am not sure why i was taking it all these years anyway, i do have tachcardia, but no arythmyas or abnormal rhythm, still do you think its

ok just to stop it so fast? thanks for any help

Radha

so no one has heard or or used celexa for blood pooling?

Radha

i really hope the trip proves to be worthwhile for you

Radha

have any of you taken Celexa for blood pooling in hands and feet and stomach? i heard this medicine is used for pooling but was wondering if it actually

helps it, my pooling is so so bad and so desperate for relief especially when i am eating....thanks for any input and what side effects did you have, if any?

Radha

yes mornings are a nightmare, every morning feel so so beaten up so exhausted, so hyper too......just miserable and takes hours to calm down

Radha

i have my own oxygen tank and i use it for so many reasons and i can say i can not survive without it, i use it for tachcardia, lightheadedness, brain fog,

adrenaline rushes,

radha

i also have pain in the left carotid area of my neck very often and it does worry me at times, never switches sides, but i have never gotten it checked and it

hasnt progressed to anything more than just pain........i am not able to leave my home or i would have gotten it checked, if you can, i am sure it would be

good to get it checked....please let us know what happens,

Radha

i dont have any discharge or lumps and no new medications, i am only 32, so not menopause! yes i do get pain behind the breast but also in the breast

itself sometimes, but it comes and goes so it cant be that serious...........and i am not able to go for a mammogram, cannot even leave my home at all, so

many things i wish i could understand and have an explanation for! thanks for your replies and if you have any idea what might be causing it, please let me

know, thanks

radha

how much taurine are you taking and does it make you alert at all because i dont want it to interfere with my sleeping...thanks

Radha

do any of you get breast pain, just the left? i am only 32, so its not hormones, and i also have terrible chest heaviness that is always there, but the breast pain comes and goes, could this be heart related? thanks for any input

Radha

i am hungry all the time because i can eat so so little and get so hyper terrible headaches, blood pooling in hands and feet and stomach, so bloated and

stomach cramps, and swallowing trouble, and even face muscles get stiff after so little chewing, its more than a nightmare and i dont eat carbs or sugar or

gluten or fat or caffeine, i take a ton of beta blockers or i get very tachy.........just wanted you to know i can totally relate and sorry you have to go thru this

too!

Radha

yes i wake up every morning with bad anxiety and terrible agitation and and so hyper as soon as i get up from lying down to sitting up in bed....its awful and

takes so long to settle down and i always have a problem with too much thinking and racing thoughts, its terrible and drives me crazy! sorry i dont have any

helpful advice, i really dont want to take meds like xanax everyday.......but maybe you could think about taking a med like that.....

radha

thanks for all your replies, at least its nice to know i am not the only one getting the itching.......there must be a connection!! yes i have such terrible aching

and heaviness in legs and feet and hands, they hurt so so bad and ice is the only thing that gives alittle relief, i get terrible blood pooling without any

standing, its unbearable when i eat, even with sitting up in bed, so legs are not even hanging down......and so bad in hands too and i never just hang my

arms straight down either, and bad veins bulging, but i cannot handle wearing the compression hose, its just too uncomfortable and too hard to put on and

take off myself........

Radha

i know exactly what you are talking about because i go thru the same **** every single morning once i sit up from lying down and then the whole terrible

hyper agitation, even leg shaking for 2 hours again in the late afternoonn after i get up to sitting after my nap......so the change in positions and hormonal

changes affect me too too strongly and then once my body settles down, it leaves me so so exhausted and drained.......everyday is exactly the same and i

so wish those of us who wake up and get up feeling like this could get some relief! what a terrible way to wake up! and i dont want to take stuff like xanax

everyday........hang in there,

Radha

for those of you who gets blood pooling in limbs, do you get bad itching in hands and feet? could the two be related in anyway? i have puts tons of lotion but no helps when blood pools and right after...... thanks for any input

Radha

you sound exactly like me, thanks for your reply, i guess its just another problem that has no simple answer.....

Radha

does anyone know how soon after eating is it NOT normal to have a normal bowel movement, no diarrhea? it seems i have a large bowel movement very

soon, about 4 hours after eating, and eating so little but so much comes out! so is that too soon? can everything be digested that fast? sorry to be gross!

and then sometimes i have 2 movements a day and i eat so

so little! so i dont have slow gastric movement, it seems to be too fast! and does that mean i am not absorbing any nutrients from what little i eat? could this

be a symptoms of something else because i get bad cramps when i eat so little too and i know i have bad blood pooling and get very hyper when i eat, adrenaline rush i think.......and going to the bathroom sometimes makes the cramps even

worse, never better which i thought it would......any input would be very much appreciated, thanks

Radha

yes i have the foggy eyes and spots like after you stare at a light bulb for too long, all this comes and goes and its very frustrating, wish there was some medicine or eye drops to fix it!

Radha

mornings are a nightmare! feel so so hyper and so so anxious and feel like my skin is too tight! takes too long to settle down and heart rate to beat more

softer and slower, its all so exhausting, every morning is exactly the same, i always feel terrible but i would say late nite is the best time for me, i also have

adrenal problems which i guess adds to the mornings being so unbearable, hope you get some relief

Radha

i feel almost exactly this way every time i eat anything, and even just a small amount! the whole episode takes hours to go away and leaves me so so

physically drained and bruised and very mentally drained too, wish i had some helpful advice, just that i know exactly what you are talking about and i hope

you can at least get some support and understanding from your wife, wish you relief
