Thanks Debbie. Much. I have 3 kids actually, and a full-time personal training business, run out of my home. And a DH who isn't very sympathetic, to say the least...I am so busy. And stressed. Thank you for thinking about me. Thank you so much. Clarissa

Thanks everyone. Debbie - I am awaiting a call back on the date/time...why do you ask though? :) Thanks, Clarissa

If there is anyone out here who has had this nightmare done to them, I would like to know if you opted for the valium, and if so, did you think it helped? Also, I would like to know, in all honesty, how painful this procedure is. Please be honest with me - I need two biopsies done on my thyroid...

I have to get 2 biopsies. TWO. And I have to go back on that death medicine, Synthroid again. That stuff messed w/ me bad. I dont know whether to bawl or punch a wall. I am so scared I could frrrrreeeeeeaaaaaaak out.

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't personally looking to lose weight at this point. I probably should not put anything like that into my body with the way things are going in my life right now. Anyhoo, she just swears by it and when she came to visit me last week, she would NOT get off the...

My friend shared this link w/ me... www.yourbody.isagenix.com Anyone heard of this? Tried it? Thoughts? It is pretty expensive but she swears by it and says it is very popular in AZ where she lives... Thanks! Clarissa

I have no results yet :( My doctor was out of the office yesterday GRRRRR!!! and so far today, nothing. I am going to call around 1 pm if I don't hear anything. Honestly she might not even get the ultrasound results and ACTH/cortisol part of the bloodwork test until tomorrow anyway. Sigh...

For sure you are! Because fainting is something I am new at...and i can tell you, you think you are going to DIE. I am so serious. Worst experience ever... :(

Thank you....Love, Clarissa

I have only heard of it - but I can't give you any info. I am sure if it approved thru ACE or whatever, it is good - if you do it, let me know what you think. I am thinking of going back and getting certified for AFAA kickboxing! (once I am in the clear medically of course) Good luck! Clarissa

Thank you. I was just sitting here Google-ing the worst. I am so scared out of my mind. Thank you for your kind words. I feel a little better now. I just wish the weekend was over so I can talk to my doctor about the results. I'll be in touch... Clarissa

Well I had the bloodwork - 6 vials and I fainted. I tried hard. Just such a vagal response. Wish I didn't have that problem..feel so weak. Then I had ultrasound. I am told I have a goiter and some large nodules. Next step is biopsy. I am so scared out of my mind right now I can't even think...

Well, it gets from bad to worse. I went to an Endocrinologist and she says that the regular MD misdiagnosed me and I most likely do not have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. She says that the Synthroid I was on was very dangerous, even fatal, for me and gave me a long medical reason as to why...etc...

I asked about Synthroid last week...I was further tested and they determined that I have Hashimotos Disease. They ran additional tests for my thyroid and out of a scale of 0-34, which is normal, I was a 337! Dr. told me that this meant I have zero thyroid, ZERO metabolism, in my body at this...

Yes, I understand that. But if you knew my background growing up, you would realize why it is personally important to me...

I guess i never looked at it that way... i also never realized so many people were on it!!!!

Aw, you all have been SOOOO helpful. You have made my morning. I am just such a non-meds person, but maybe it will be okay. I will say that I am going for a 2nd opinion, just in case! I would never settle for one opinion on something so touchy...Thank you so so so much! Clarissa

Hi Patti. Thanks. Do you feel that one is more effective/safer/better than another (meds I mean)? Clarissa

Thanks all for your suggestions and help. Kariev, I will try that. For real. Love to do plyos during rest anyway! I am an animal!! LOL! Well, I have to say, today I found out that I have a severly underactive thyroid...so....maybe?? Maybe that is why the scale weight gain?? I'll keep you...

I just got the results of my bloodwork back...let me first say something. I went to a new doctor last week for extreme low back pain. No other symptoms. Because I was a new patient, he said, hey lets do a full bloodwork on you. Did you eat yet today? It was 11:30 am...I told him yes I ate...
