    • I’m With You

      From LindaRay April 26

      Hi Nikki I've only just joined, but your description of 'our' problem is absolutely exact. I'm awaiting a reply to your question as to whether one needs to see a doctor. I had an unpleasant chiropractic experience for neck/shoulder discomfort and don't really want to go down that path. L

      My friend after reading post it took me back to a year ago when the exxact same thing happen to me. My life came to a screaching end. I could find - from noone. I wanted my life to end i was desperate. I ended up in the hospital- pyshicatric ward it was horriable.montha went by this med after med I tried. I was diagnosed with bipolar. Whatever did not believe it. I slowly got alitttle better functionable. My thoughts are the same as yours I am like this foreever? Meds forever? 1 year later I am on 5 meds and going through intense therapy 2x a week. Why did this happen to me I still am unsure, all I know is that I just want my life back I want me back. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone in this. I am here for you if you need anything at all. XXX Jill

    • Close Graves' Disease

      oh yay for autoimmunity. my levels and dosages are all over the place. i've kind of taken checking my levels and altering meds into my own hands like a diabetic. i can feel when i'm high and feel when i'm low, so i adjust accordingly. i bounce between 15 and 20 mgs recently.

      It's a good idea while waiting for meds to work. They can monitor your progress to make sure you don't do anything stupid.
