Seriously, though - I can't imagine going through all you do and maintaining my sanity. God, what a pity party I would have - constantly! People didn't used to have all these complicated allergy/immune problems. I think modern life and all we are exposed to is making people (and animals, and bugs....) sick. Not to mention GMO foods. I have so many chemical and metal sensitivities. If I smell certain odors, my windpipe starts closing up. Eliminating gluten has drastically improved my health, but my thyroid is not right. I will be tested for antibodies in a week or so, and hopefully begin a better medication therapy. I just raised heck in a letter to the hospital director where I get my care, as I have had thyroid problems for years, but the minimal testing they do shows fine. In August (after suffering for 40+ years) they tested Free T4 and Free T3. Both are in the basement. What do you know......I do have a problem..... I'll keep you in my prayers, maybe they'll help get you feeling better. I sure hope so. Take good care of you.

Did you get tested for the metal and chemical sensitivities? I had allergy testing numerous times with allergists, but they only test environmental and foods. The dermatologist tested some other things and found an ingredient in creams or cosmetics that I reacted to (urea). I think I have other sensitivities/allergies but don't know how to find out. Elliminating gluten definitely has improved things for me too. How do I stay sane?? I have no idea...lol. My husband is really a gift. He helps me make it thru everyday. I had to stop working in Dec 2012, I receive disability now. It was the hardest thing for me to do, but I just couldn't handle it any longer. I had to stop and take care of myself for a change. Always put myself last. Glad you fought about the testing. Wow, it is unbeleivable to be having problems that long and not get tested properly. I never heard of free T3 & T4, had to look it up. Glad you don't have to give up chocolate...whew! Hope you can get a handle on your thyroid soon! Thanks for the prayers, will take all I can get Sending some back your way. Take care, Nanc |

I'm a veteran and get care at the VA. They won't do allergy testing. I am having a fight with them about getting the tests I need for my thyroid. If you don't fit precisely into one of their normal little boxes, they don't want to help you. In the past 6 months, I have learned so much about it, and unfortunately, I now know more about my problem than my Endo. doc does! That's sad..... Well, Girl, I gotta go to bed....Hope you have a good night.

It's easier if you are Celiac because many people don't respect Gluten sensitivity as an illness.
I tell people I am Celiac, its easier that way. |
