Smile Here is my story....

I have Hashimoto's disease. I had my thyroid removed in 2008 and a pituitary gland tumor (which turned out to be a cyst) removed in 2010. Since my surgery this summer, I have gone down hill pretty quick.

I tried to work but the stress of the job kept my system in turmoil. I asked for help at work - nada. So after 15 years of working my rump off, I am presently on short term disability.

I have seen neurologists, therapist, primary care physicians, endocrinologists, and have had the following tests: labwork, EMG, MRI w/wo contrast (this makes my 5th or 6th one for 2010), medications changed just to have them go back to the medications I knew were working. By the way - CYMBALTA ALMOST killed me so thought I might type that in.

Now my blood work shows my vitamin B12 is TOO HIGH (1336) and I DO NOT take vitamin B12 supplements.

I still have the pins and needles feeling throughout my body, "brain fog", high anxiety (no kidding, who wouldn't?), oh and let's not forget the chronic insomnia (sleep study test is coming up next).

Any help is appreciated
