I want to thank you for your insight and research into the thyroid! For over 10 years I was hypoglycemic and needed to eat almost every 3 hours. Then, when I was 32 I started gaining weight and developed acne while I was still working out! Then, I started noticing that I stopped doing things with my friends, I didn’t return phone calls, I didn’t GO SHOPPING & I love to shop,I found myself leaning on things or sitting down, and I had zero patience, ALL because I was too tired. I was also crying for no reason, and I had an overall “overwhelmed”/depressed feeling. I just felt like I only had so many hours in a day to get things done…because the headaches would start and I would be too tired, going to bed at 6 or 7 o’clock. I went to my doctor and after many blood tests I was told I was normal and to try Weight Watchers and I was given some acne medicine. Eventually, after 2 doctors, a blood test showed antibodies, so they said I had Hashimoto’s and put me on Synthroid. Yes, at first I saw a difference, but I had to increase my dose every 5-8 months.
Plus, I still didn’t feel like me! I could go to work, but I still had that anxiety like…I only have so much time to get things done and I was a post-it note Queen, I couldn’t remember anything! THEN, my boyfriend found your website! He ordered your book and made an appointment for me to see one of the listed doctors. (I couldn’t get organized and never had the energy to call the Dr. and ask her my questions. Luckily, he did this for me!) After weaning off of Synthroid, I started the T3. I HAVE FELT SO MUCH BETTER! I am back to myself! I can’t believe how bad I was, now that I feel myself again! I laugh, my positive outlook is back, I’m exercising again,the acne is gone, I’ve lost some weight, AND, I don’t have to watch my sugar levels! I don’t have to carry snacks around with me! My temperature is about 97.9 average, I was in the 96.7 area when I started, so I still may improve! I’m on my third cycle of T3 and I have had both family and friends comment on how I have my bounce back in my step and voice! I am so grateful that you have done this research! I have told so many people about your site and I only hope more will try it! For anyone who might read this, hang in there and trust what your body is telling you! So get a friend to help you find a doctor and get your old life back!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
