For you FM folk, you might want to try looking at http://www.lef.org and look up disease protocols, fibromyalgia, or also lookup autoimmune diseases. This is the web site of the Life Extension Foundation. I have used their information in helping my mom who has Parkinson’s disease. I find that there are some clues about the relationship between GD and FM on this site. Leaky Gut Syndrome is also related (Candida overgrowth (yeast overgrowth)is common in LGS.) I am not a good example of using these protocols, however, as I just found them today, and am still learning about them myself.
Hi to the newcomers, I haven’t posted for a long time. I was DX’d August 1996, been on alternative therapies till Dec 96, then PTU in smaller and smaller amounts till now, July 98. I have had normal and stable thyroid levels since Feb 97. I include this for any of you who feel like the process is stalled. I feel well, and had wonderful friends and support on this bb. Just popping in to give a word of encouragement to you all. Karen
