Praise God for His blessings on your move Debby
I was quite ill 5 years back when a virus attacked my thyroid, so I feel for you.
Thank God you are recovering nicely now

Have a blessed weekend everyone

 

[angelwind]

I did not realize a virus attacked your thyroid Gail...just know I can relate to having a problem with that gland...that is why I am so tired...the meds don't really replace a natural function for us.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Yeah it was bad....started with just a virus ~ fever, sore throat, congestion, aches etc.
3 days into it the fever spiked, and over the course of a week my neck blew up like a football, was painful, and I lost 20 pounds!
I had ACUTE THYROIDITIS
But initally they feared it was cancer because my dad died at 38 from Hodgekins Lymhoma.

I couldn't sleep, it affected my heart (was tested for Congestive Heart Failure).......I saw the doc and lab every other day for weeks.
Over weeks and months, the thyroiditis causes it to be HYPER...then HYPO, and hopefully stabilizes (which mine did on it's own)

It took me 18 months to recover and finally was even able to get off the meds.
It was a flukey thing.... but could happen again they said if a virus is bad enough.

No fun...I feel for all who live with any thyroid condition!

Blessings for everyone and a special prayer for Dave and his ear and nose problems

(((((((((((Dave))))))))))))
so sorry you have been poorly, that sounded really scary,
your are in my prayers for complete healing and recovery.

I have had a very hectic few weeks, we are moving to the next town
and it has all happened so fast, we decided to move nearer to where my hubby works
as it was becoming to expensive to travel,
my daughter applied for a job and she has been accepted, so it is all systems go.

We were really praying about it
because I cannot drive and wanted to be near a church so I can get there easily
for all the activities and voluntary work, also evening services when hubby is working night shift
so I would not have far to go,
I hate relying on others for lifts even though people have been so kind and
have always helped me to church were I lived before.

We are renting so there was very little choice and a small window of time to settle on a home,
well I couldn't believe it we found the perfect home
and it is literally the next road to a very vibrant church with loads going on,
praise the Lord he answered that prayer.

The house is also cheaper to rent than the others on offer
and was more spacious and in better condition inside,
money was becoming so tight and this is going to make such a difference to our finances also
as I haven't been able to work for a while because of being poorly.

I have recently found out that I have an underactive thyroid condition,
I had been poorly for some time and was going down hill fast,
my hair was falling out like mad, I was putting it all down to the manapause
because I was finding it so difficult to remember things
and had such a foggy brain, but the sympoms worsened to a point
that I could hardly walk so went to doctors
and was diagnosed also with high blood pressure and anemea.

Also the horrible pain in my muscles was all down to the underactive thyroid too,
anyway the doctor has precribed levothyroxine meds and iron tablets
and I have been on them now for nearly three months do feel a lot better,
my hair has stopped falling out,
I am going for more tests this week to check my levels and blood pressure.

Please pray that the move goes well,
we will be moving on the 4th march.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

God bless.

Thank you all for your prayers and goodwill wishes

My Mary takes Levothyroxine also ... and I recognize many of those mentioned symptoms
((((HUG))))

It is the only way to get where we are going in one piece

Wow Gail that sounds really awful, I didn't know you could get a virus in the glands either, I am so glad you had a full recovery, you poor thing, is your heart unaffected by this? I hope so, it does sound as though everything is back to normal, it's important to go back to docs for check ups regularly to keep an eye on things. Bless your heart, I will be praying that the Lord watches over you and gives you protection.

Dave there seems to be many of us with this condition hugs to Mary

And you too Angelwind, and it does seem as you say to take time to regulate with meds we have to keep going for regular blood tests to check levels. Hugs to you too sweetheart Praying for healing and comfort.



Hope you are all having a great weekend. Praying for you all God bless.

That sounds horrible...I have low thyroid...I know how weird having it off can make us feel. Your must have been really aweful. I take a pill everyday for thyroid...one dr said I was going 55 in a 60 mile an hour zone...just never feel right.

Group prayers for us all...my goodness...it is amazing how crazy our health can get and we still survive.

I just get my blood tested once a year...but I take a divided dose of meds...I cannot tolerate the pill...100mg all at once...kills my brain.

 

[nChrist]

It sounds like we have some good news mixed in, but those who are ill will remain in my prayers. Hopefully, there will be more good news soon.

 

[frogalone]

I've been hypo thyroid since in my early 30s; take Synthyroid daily. My sister and a couple cousins had to have theirs removed. I was the first of my family to have problems. I kept losing my voice.

Good to see everyone.

I am fine now thanks, but do have regular blood work done
If I am sick or stressed I can feel that it is affected... it even aches at times; but it usually resolves on it's own with rest.

I can relate to the brain issue....I still have trouble at times with fogginess and memory loss

Wow

Curious how common it seems to be; I expect our diets and environment may be factors.

Praying for you all

 

[Susie~Q]

Stopping by to say "hi"

Wow, Debby, I am so sorry to hear about your thyroid, I think mine is over active as well. I ache in every muscle and joint and yet, I do not have arthritis or Fibro, I do no by the low basal temps, that my thyroid is on the low side however.

I hope everyone is doing well. I am fine, I think my computer is going to crash soon however, it is acting very strange. If it does, I am going to get an Apple, I have heard nothing but good about them.

On February the 23, I will bringing home my new Sheltie Pup. I am so excited. I had a Sheltie in the past, and I love them. I sold my collie pup, she was sweet, but just too large for me to handle, she went to a great home. I will post pictures of the little dear when I get him.

Love and hugs to all.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Good to see you Susie
I hope you feel better ~ no fun!
Good luck with your pc and your pup
