hi bookgurl99,
I'm sorry i've been unsuccessful answering your
careful post. Thanks.I didn't know that the adrenals got exhausted
with hypo - maybe that's why i feel like 600 lbs
when i wake up in the morning.You give good points and ask some good questions.
The thing about drugging up every hour - well
it's an exxageration - actually it is my Rivotril
which i have cut up in halves - and that is a
leftover from withdrawal and then reinstatement
when i got slammered - the halving of course
multiplies the pill taking, and then there is the
lithium and the Synthroid - but there is no
way i am attempting any more withdrawal without
medical assistance - no way.As for diet, yup i could improve on that - chips
and Cheetos are empty calories.And as for doing something - i was considering the
possibilities, and thought may i could try writing
something and maybe a bit later resuming studies
at university.I am getting much better - the reinstatement of
Rivotril after a couple of years of very bad
withdrawal is doing me a lot of good - i feel
more steady, so i am optimistic.Believe it or not, because it is just me and
my husband who is terribly overworked busy,
leaves me with a lot of responsibility for the
household management, the pets, the finances,
etc. So, i do work at home, i just don't have
the more meaningful academic life is hoped for.The net however, is wonderful.
Anyway, thank and good luck with your thyroid
dose - you are right about getting the precise
level - unfortunately you have to rely on
feedback from your own body - so you are your
own guinea pig so to speak :-)take care and thank you;
Squiggles
