Could it be a fibroid? Wouldn't that be

The symptoms you have go along with
hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is usually loss of weight (don’t we wish) and if you have seen the "bug-eyed" look of some people, this can go along with the hyperthyroidism. In hypothyroidism metabolism runs slow- hyperthyroidism it speeds up. I have had exhausation. I told my physician I wanted to be checked for thyroid, knowing I had the classic symptoms years ago- that being extremely dry skin, so cold could not get warm- in my house sitting under blankets to work, terrible itching (I guess from the extreme dry skin)and the loss of hair and that weight issue again. I asked my endocrinologist if my thyroid was playing out and he told me already gone. I have been on synthroid but with the acute hair loss, am calling Monday for appointment to try to get on the Armour thyroid as the person above told me. I have had to resort to wigs lately because of the excessive hair loss- am just going to do a Britany and be finished with it!! Good luck with yours but thyroid disease left untreated can certainly be dangerous, in fact some can be fatal, not to fool around with it you think might be a problem with you.
Symptoms
My first symptom started last August when I began itching all over my body with no rash or hives (itched to the point of causing bruising to my upper chest area), then about a week later it began with having a sore bottom (as if I had been doing squats the day before - hurt to sit, then my legs felt like jello and then increasingly began to be painful, then aching all over as if I had fever, yet I did not, then there was the extreme exhaustion (and I knew I was not that out of shape)...even the slightest activity would cause me to be tired and I could sleep all day so it seemed, so after a battery of blood tests for MS, lupus, Lyme, West Nile, vitamin deficiencies, etc all of which were normal, my doctor had me log my symptoms for 3 months on a calendar, and I went back to see him in January by which time I was beginning to experience numbness and tingling in my legs/feet (as if they were asleep)..so my doctor then ordered MRI of the brain and spine x-rays all of which were normal so he said he was sure I had fibro, but could not diagnose it so referred me to a rheumatologist - who did more test and confirmed the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I am now taking 1500 mg of Relafen, 100 mg of Tramadol every 4 hours p.r.n. pain, a muscle relaxer at bedtime, 600 mg of Neurontin at bedtime and 100 mg of Zoloft - I walk 30 minutes a day and do light stretching exercises every other day....My symptoms do seem to flare up around my cycle each month - I am finally feeling better after a 2 week flare of feeling like being ran over by a big truck...Good luck to you in your search for answers and if your mother has fibro then more than likely you do too, my rheumotologist said that sometimes it can be genetic.
Please tell me what the symptoms were you had
My mother had pleurisy once, remember she had to quit a job at Dupont, good job, in the 50s. I do not know much about this, but symptoms in all ribs, all around? Thanks for the information.
I have had those symptoms...sm
I got really sick a few years back and had the same symptoms you do. Do you feel really drained like no energy? Sometimes I to would feel like I was going to pass out. I went to the doctor, ER, and I too thought is was blood sugar but when I would take it it wouldn't be low. To make a long story short months later I finally go to a doctor who tells me what is wrong: I have Epstein Barr virus or Mono. It took 1-1/2 years to get over. Did blood work and tested for it and I had it. I will always carry it even when I am not sick but if my immune system gets weakened then it flares up. Get some extensive blood work done. Good luck and hope you feel better.
Sounds like all my symptoms.
I went from doctor to doctor and had 2 years' worth of appointments and tests. Turns out I have a rare kidney disease. Normal urine tests didn't detect it, though, it finally showed up as protein loss in a 24-hour collection.
I also had just moved into a new house, and I kept thinking maybe it was mold or something in the house that was getting me.
If your ankles are swelling up to your thighs, and you can't stay awake, and everything aches...maybe look toward kidneys. If fine, at least you'll have ruled something else out!!
I know! I had horrible symptoms (sm)
And kept being told it might just be depression - I finally took the *&* antidepressants just to cope with not being diagnosed! It didn't help my illness but it helped me deal with it. Eventually they did an MRI of my brain and found pinpoint lesions all over it but never could tell me what they were from. I took antidepressants and sleep med and used lots of alternative remedies and juiced and ate as healthy and pure as possible for a year and finally got fairly well but still have a few leftover symptoms (ear fluttering, occasional muscle twitches) that will probably never go away. One doctor even suggested that I go to a massage therapist because some people would get depressed over not having enough "touch" in their lives - I had two children who hugged me all day and my husband and I were very "active."
Sounds like same symptoms
I would rub and press on it and it would let up, then move to a different place and start back up. On the day I sought treatment it was constant and going at several places in my head at once, and it was just too distracting to work because it was scaring me and I just wanted it to stop!
Good luck to him.
thank you - do my symptoms sound like ADD to you? (sm)
I went to a teacher conference recently and noticed that my son's desk had papers hanging out all over the place - just like mine used to be! It kind of struck me at that moment that maybe I should try to do something about this. He is very intelligent, but very disorganized, forgets to turn in homework, forgets to bring books needed for his homework, etc. I lose things, forget to pay bills, etc.
Thanks - do my symptoms sound at all like yours? (sm)
I also have many unfinished projects!
Do you have any GERD symptoms during the day?...
I started having problems with disrupted sleep last year, then shortly after that started having mild dysphagia to bread-y foods. Went to the Dr., who started me on pantoprazole, and ever since then I have not had many awakenings. BTW, I did not have heartburn but was still diagnosed with GERD.
Weird symptoms....sm
My sister-in-law went to the ER tonight. Her symptoms were numbness all over her body, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. She started antibiotics Friday evening. These symptoms started tonight. I thought it may be the anitbiotics. Some kind of adverse reaction. She has a pilonidal cyst so they put her on Sulfa antibiotics. Well when she went to the ER they said they didn't believe it was antibiotics but a panic attack. She said she has never had a panic attack in her life. How weird. I just wonder if it could be the anitbiotics even with no rash. I would hate for it to be the anitbiotics and her keep taking it and get worse.
What are your symptoms with the thyroid?
I have also so wondering about you.
could be gallbladder symptoms too...nm
nm
if you mind me asking, what were the symptoms you started out with?
My mother has fibromyalgia also and she thinks that I have it to...I hurt/ache somewhere in my body almost every day and now I am having problems with my knees for no reason at all...just wondering what your symptoms were when you were diagnosed?
those symptoms sounds just like where i have pain...
neck, shoulders, lower back and knees...i first started having really bad pain in my ankles after i had my daughter 6 months ago...like my tendons were really stiff...the knee thing just started around December for no reason...started with one knee, then the other...some days they don't hurt at all...other days they are very painful...my hubby will try to rub my shoulders and it is so painful, and he will poke me in the ribs, which also hurts...do i say to my doctor i think i have fibromyalgia or just explain my symptoms?
Two of my friends had very similar symptoms and on
the second week they developed severe nausea. Both of them use different doctors, but both of those doctors told them to cut back the dose. I would recommend they contact their physician and see what they can do.
...bruising and definitely see someone if symptoms progress. nm

Anyone here with thyroid problems or MS symptoms?
I have been having a cluster of very odd symptoms starting a few months ago that include: Heart palpitations, internal vibration/tremor, fine tremor in hands, eye pain, blurred vision, hives, balance problems, dizziness, muscle twitching, hot flashes, and more. These symptoms come and go. One day I'm fine, the next day BAM! I have had blood tests so far...doc thinks it's anxiety. I will be seeing my doc tomorrow to "go over the tests" so he can again tell me it's anxiety. I wonder if anyone else out there has these symptoms that just come on all of a sudden.
TIA
My mom had those symptoms yesterday, turned out to be (sm)
Her blood pressure, it was 147/100 when we checked it about 20 minutes after her sx started. She is on meds but is still having a hard time keeping it controlled.
Another thought, again, based on my mom's issues: She very similar symptoms that kept getting worse and ended up needing a pacemaker.
So, anyway, your original thought about BP might be the angle to check on next.
Sounds like classic OCD symptoms....
Good luck...OCD sucks :-(
Similar symptoms in the past
I went to my primary care, and they said I had anxiety/panic issues caused mainly by stress. I got a mood stabilizer and took it for about six months with some minimal side effects, and have not had the problem since until recently, about 10 years later. I do really feel for you, as I remember at one point sitting there thinking I had completely lost my mind. Ask your PCP about depression/anxiety/stress issues, and see if that isn't something that should be considered. Good luck!
Any other symptoms? Abdominal pain?
Perhaps an imperforate hymen with hematocolpos?
can you elaborate more on symptoms other than hair loss? sm
i get confused with hypo and hyper. my last results were below normal limits, barely - not enough for doc to give Rx. i feel i have lots of symptoms though but symptoms are almost the same for both from what i find. i am always "exhausted", insomnia, extreme hair loss, can't lose weight.
Anyone ever have very frequent urination but no other symptoms. What a pain this is. nm
:
And get thee to a doctor - you have classic symptoms sm
of DEPRESSION. Feeling weighed down, exhausted, too tired, not enjoying life and activities of daily living - you may need some chemical intervention to perk up. Plus get outside 30 minutes every day for some natural sunlight. TAKE SOME "ME TIME" - You need it. Life is short and why, oh why, be miserable in the short time that you have?
A lotta hype behind it, and apparently the symptoms are
Tamiflu, etc. are apparently quite effective in fighting it. People always die during a flu outbreak, usually not of the virus itself, but of complications. High death rate in Mexico probably has a lot to do with poverty and lack of health care for so many. I think the mask-thing is a little extreme, especially outdoors, but it's always a good idea to wash your hands often and carry those alcohol-based wipes. I use those after using an ATM machine, or going to the supermarket, shaking hands with people, etc. Probably a good idea after handling money, as well.
Yesterday I got this forwarded, totally panicky email from someone I know regarding stockpiling food & supplies, etc., as if it were the end of the world.
That's pretty overboard, if you ask me. But then again, some people tend to react that way to just about anything on the news.

Agree - Yes I had similar symptoms. Had a partially herniated disk
of course I had every test known to man run before they figured that out. You would think it would have been obvious to them but oh well.
You do not give them food, you give
the children food but if they did not have the food to eat, probably would call family and children services. I do NOT give away money to anyone.
No experience with the program but definitely experience with the symptoms! nm

you should give it a try
what the post said about the wipes. maybe something all natural might also do it that way the baby might not have a reaction to that and its good for the dog also. do some research on the net if you can. its worth it before you give your other "baby" up. let us know what happens. if worse comes to worse, make sure you interview prospects very well just like a baby for adoption. hope the first one works for you :)
We would give a lot of it away, believe it or not. Then, of course, the sm
usual - pay bills, purchase gorgeous home, travel, etc.
We believed that those entrusted and blessed with much should give much. If you keep all that you have you become stagnant - like the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea has absolutely no outlet which is why everything dies that enters it. I don't think we are much different. Give in order to be happy.
Once they give me what I want, they
can do what they like but until then guess we will just have to continue to cut that massive yard. It takes us about 2 hours to get there and then spend time there just to cut. It is an all day thing.
I'm sure they have - they will give her something (or let her out) (sm)
If they let her spoiled brat behind out, I am going to be MAD.
Can't give him away--Nobody else would put up with him!
I have a big kitty (18 lbs) that acts just like that! Pulling on blinds, disturbing our sleep, doing anything and everything to get attention until he gets fed! We love him so much and know that we are the only ones in the world who would put up with him--so we can't give him away! I feed him 3 measured meals a day. Fortunately, I now live in a house with a basement, so I put him down in the basement at nightime with his 3rd meal. He cries and scratches on the door a little bit, but then he gets used to it and goes to sleep. Sometimes I have to put him down in the basement during the daytime too if he starts being too bad while I'm trying to work.
Do you have a bathroom you could put kitty in at night? Just make sure there's not too much in there for him to destroy. That would be more comfortable than a crate.
There was a give away
for me. An ad underneath said something about maze prank.
I'm going to give this a try...sm
These are my "four-legged boys".
then give him a key!!! nm
NM
Give him a big hug from me!!!!...
Whatta joyous day you guys had!  Cat
I'm not sure if I can give the name
legally, so I'll give you some facts -- It is a major department store that changed it's store credit card into a mastercard.
Don't give up on her. PLEASE don't give in to her.
She's 16, and its never too late. I just started reading this thread and my heart is broken. I hope other moms take it to heart after hearing your story. I have 3 teens, so can relate. My husband and I came from permissive families - you know, the cool family with the house where all the kids wanted to hang out? The houses where they could get away with anything, drinking, drugs, smoking, sex, cause the parents looked the other way. My parents were fine, upstanding, snobbish upper crust members of the community, fine church-going folks and rich. And they didn't give a hoot about their kids in the end, though we looked great on paper. I only wish my parents had rules. I was grown up since I was 14. My husband, too - that's how we met and have been together 30+ years now. Our # 1 rule since our own kids were babies... NEVER are they allowed to sleep over anyone's house. Period. No exceptions. Not relatives, not their bestest friend, not their cub scout troop. Need I say that we have never had 1 regret??? There is NO good reason for any kid to sleep anywhere than their own bed at night. Period. We realized when they were little that if we let them do the sleepover thing when they were little, but then stopped when they were older, what kind of a message was that? We knew the sweet little neighbor who at 5 years old demanded her friends sleep over, or else would throw a tantrum, would be 16 one day, and a tramp. Its that simple an equation these days, unfortunately. So, no sleep overs, no exceptions, not for church, especially not for church. LOL. How sick is that? But this is 2008 folks, and this is one messed up world. My kids were upset a bit when they were really young, but we didn't make a big deal of it, nor in the end did they. They are cool, mature teens, and have actually thanked us for it many a time lately. We took the temptation out of their hands - kids are too young to have to go thru this crap. I know, I did. At any rate, of all the rules I would start if I were you, I would go with the knowing where she slept at night, eacn and every night. Otherwise, look what's happened. She has lost this privilege at the very least. Kids don't need to not come home at night. Please don't ever fall for that one again. Even if she is at so-and-so's house, a friend, you must see what kind of kids she is hanging with. Don't allow it, for her sake. She will never ever change unless you do it for her. Praying for you. Be strong. She may hate you now, but she won't a year from now, or two. But at least she'll be alive to forgive you, rather than possibly dead. You know what I mean. Let your husband's European temperament prevail. BE STRICT. Being a strict parent does not kill your kids in the end, honest.
yes! and why do I have to give my
account number, name and address to a phone tree when I will have to do it all over again when I speak to a real person?
Don't give up!
I've been sewing all my life. My grandfather had a Sew N Vac type store when I was a little girl, and he used to have me and some of my other cousins come into the shop and sew during store hours to show customers that it was "so easy, even a child can do it!" I learned to sew before I even went to school! He even had some antique machines with foot pedals that we kids used to play with. I have all sorts of machines, from antique hand-crank Singers to cheap Wal-Mart plastic machines, and high-end Pfaff and Viking sewing machines and sergers.
Check out local sewing and fabric stores for classes. You can also try visiting Meetup.com, which is a really cool place to find all sorts of people who get together to pursue their interests. I don't know where you live, but I checked in my area, and there are several groups for beginning sewing listed. Maybe there are in yours, too.
With that said, I really have to tell you that Singer machines are not the best. Since the company was sold many, many years ago the quality has gone downhill. They are not built to last and have many parts that break very easily. In my experience, a simple mistake in threading some Singers will place a lot of tension on a weak part in the thread line. Something will snap or break, and once it's broken, you can't get the machine to feed thread properly as you sew.
Unfortunately, a really good machine can cost hundreds of dollars, and it's hard for a beginning sewer to make that sort of investment not knowing if it's something they'll be doing for a long while. I always recommend going to a store that deals in higher end machines. (Pfaff happens to be my favorite.) Then ask to try machines or take classes with their display machines. You learn basic sewing techniques and you learn what makes one machine better than another.
I suggest that if your machine is brand new, you return it for a refund. Take some sewing classes first, and try different machines. Then you can make a better, more informed purchase, which in turn, should result in successful and fun sewing!
I'm sorry. You probably didn't want to hear that, but I can't say that I'm a fan of Singer machines. Even if you get it to work, it's likely to fail not long down the road, which will only frustrate you. I'm willing to bet it's the machine and not you.
I just give
the roll a spin and catch the end of the paper. I've never given it a thought as to which way it should go.
Okay, I give up...
What are the mothballs going to do to the cat?
I have had the worst time with this new kitty. We have already tried the hot sauce and he actually likes hot sauce, interestingly enough.
He has absolutely destroyed my tree this year. It looks like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree at this point. (Not really but almost!)
I would give it to him. All of it. NM
