Now I don't get the itching, but I will still get red marks when I brush my face lightly with my fingers. There are times I adjust my necklace and people look at me horrified thinking I am cutting my own neck lol.View Thread

The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia, By John C. Lowe, McDowell Publishing Company Boulder, CO [br>ISBN 0-914609-02-5 Hard Cover; 1,260 pgs. $99.95 [br>[br>"This award-winning book, The Metabolic Treatment of Fibromyalgia, is considered by thousands of readers—patients and doctors alike—to be the most thorough, well-researched, and overall important book ever written on four subjects: fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance, and the clinical care of patients with these diagnoses." http://www.mcdowellpublishing.comView Thread
They are commonly known as Goitrogenic foods, which means they contain substances which prevent your thyroid from getting its necessary amount of iodine. If eaten in excess, they interfere with the healthy function of your thyroid gland, tilting you in the direction of being even more hypothyroid, or making you susceptible to having a goiter, or enlargement of your thyroid. If you look closely at the word itself, you can see the root word is goiter (goitro-gen)."

"Today, the tables have completely turned. We now live in a lab-obsessed society, where most doctors completely ignore your thyroid symptoms and make your man-made lab results with the dubious ranges the holy grail of diagnosis. And diagnosis and treatment based solely on falling in a so-called "normal range" is a consistent failure, leaving millions of patient either undiagnosed, or undertreated."

I'm very tired the whole time and I can't sleep. Does anyone knows what is wrong with my test?? Please respondView Thread
Seeing as i have no insurance down here and the medicaid in NC is only for the disabled and 65+yrs i do not have that either. So i had to go to a clinic, the nurse felt my neck and took blood. When i went back they said my tests were normal and were too busy to discuss any further.
Even though my tests came back "Normal", I know something is still not right. I'm only 21 and I have a nodule on my thyroid- thats not normal. I have no idea how long I've exactly had it.
I have gained 80 pounds (within almost a year now) and I do not eat differently and i get just as much exercise as normal. The thing is i have absolutely no energy. I sleep way to much and it still doesn't seem like enough. My heart skips beats frequently.
Seeing as i have no insurance, its very hard to find a doctor who will take me and extremely hard to see an endocrinologist. What takes people 3 steps to do, takes me 10 and everyone i come in contact with in the medical field seems incompetent at their job/ and they dont care.View Thread
