Hi, Dr. Smith:

I also feel sooo, sooo sorry. I was really starting to feel sooo happy, sooo hopeful, thinking that the levothyroxine hormone was going to ameliorate my RSD pain and other pains; now I find out it is not the case... It is so unfair! Why me! What did I do to deserve such bad luck! Why do I have such bad karma! The only hormone I can get is not supposed to help me.

All the other hormones, the ones you mentioned, will never be prescribed to me by my various doctors. Why? They will not tell me, no matter how much I ask them. Sometimes, I get a vague "You already take so many medications" as an answer, to which I reply "I already have so many syndromes, diseases, injuries..."

The last solution left to me, if I want to be able to obtain the hormones you talked about, is to buy them on the Internet. I know all these Internet hormones might be counterfeit, but what else can I do?! Nothing, except watch other people go on happily with their lives while I suffer with my baby.

I have my best friend's credit card right next to me and I am getting ready to do just that (order these famous hormones on the Internet). What other choices do I have? Flecaine and Inderal might be dangerous for my heart and the opioids I take will not be prescribed to me in higher dosages by my primary care doctor, despite my tolerance to them. If I insist, I think he will wean or cut me off of them, which would be worse, much worse. So I am stuck, really stuck!

Quote: "On doing a quick google of levothyroxine, I find that one possible side effect can be chest pain, and another warning of a drug interaction with amitriptyline (there may be others as well)."

Not only the levothyroxine is not supposed to help me with the pain, but worse, it is supposed to cause me chest pain. As for amitryptilline, I know I will never take it because it has never worked for me, but what about the other interactions?!

Quote: "A few weeks back, I did find something (more) on Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) being useful with Intractable Pain in the Health News forum."

Unfortunately for me, my body does not produce any HCG, probablt due to my not being able to produce children. It is so unfair to see women abort their babies, when women like me do not have the chance to be able to carry one in our uterus.

Anyway, thanks for telling me the truth, as sad as it might be for me. I am a person who likes to know the truth, as bad as it might be.
