Comments on: Sick to Death: My Life with Thyroid Disease https://hypothyroidmom.com/sick-to-death-my-life-with-thyroid-disease/ Feel better with hypothyroidism, finally Fri, 22 Nov 2024 02:44:02 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.3 By: Kay https://hypothyroidmom.com/sick-to-death-my-life-with-thyroid-disease/#comment-35316 http://hypothyroidmom.com/?p=8692#comment-35316 I suspect I have thyroid issues. I had a biopsy done on one nodule a few years ago that was negative but my blood panel shows very high thyroid antibodies – and after spending thousands on various ‘naturopathic’ practitioners not one of them zoned in on my thyroid. I literally feel like I am slowly dying. I am utterly exhausted all the time and deeply depressed. I have gained 35lbs – from an 8 to a size 16.

I just prayed to find them again and here you are delivering them to me as I lay in pain searching for answers. I am blown away. After my mom met Mignon at an airport by chance, she told my mom I probably have thyroid disease and to go in to see her and her brother for an evaluation. After a year and a half of life threatening episodes I was better in just days. Now, I’m back in pain, having trouble breathing, and need answers. Here pops up a random article about a mom in New York who ends up in NEW ORLEANS to see Dr. Mary. My heart is beyond full. Thank you for writing this article.

Hi Nikki, Yes please go get comprehensive thyroid testing if the symptoms sound similar to your experience. There is a chart in this article here with the thyroid lab tests to ensure are run and optimal ranges. Good to have you at Hypothyroid Mom.
