    Hello to everyone!

    I am new to the site, and I am so glad I found it. As "Grasshopper" put it, it is depressing. I had been suffering for years with undiagnosed hyperthyroidism. Doctors kept telling me I had "Fibromyalgia. or Chronic Fatique Syndrome", or it was all in my head! The muscle weakness and lethargy were what I noticed first. I used to be a very enthusiastic sports and excercise person. Sometimes I have trouble going up stairs, and I am only 47. I try to excercise, but I can’t be consistent because somedays I just feel really bad. Lately I have been experiencing alot of eye trouble. I think my medicine is also making me sick but my doctors are not really listening to me, which is not something new. I am on my third Endocrinologist and I find all doctors pompous and uncaring, any one with me on this view?

    "Grasshopper" I feel your pain, and all I can say is take one day at a time and just keep fighting for information and finding the right doctors and treatments. I also have financial problems because of all of the medical bills and I had to quit my job. I just have to hope that things will get better, have faith, grow flowers, paint a picture, listen to music, beautiful things always cheer me up!

    in reply to: PTU QUESTIONS! #1074768

    I have been on the PTU for 13 months and it has helped with some symptoms, for example, the racing heart. It does leave a strange metal taste in your mouth, and I was told to always take it with food, otherwise you will get alot of stomach pain. Never take it with grapefruit juice or grapefruit, it enhances the effectiveness of all meds. Who knows if that is good or not.
