Hello everyone! My name is Lauren and I'm 20 years old from Wisconsin. I have been diagnosed with multiple invisible illnesses since the age of 10. Ever since, I have gotten more and more out of shape. I used to be in gymnastics and dance, however, due to the worsening of my symptoms I can hardly get out of bed these days. This (along with emotional eating) has led to massive decrease in muscle and a large amount of weight gain. Hoping to finally get this all turned around and start feeling better about myself for the first time in a while!

    Are you familiar with the website https://stopthethyroidmadness.com/? It is a wonderful resource. Another one is https://www.yourhormones.com/. We went through the same thing with my daughter and I took her everywhere and spent a ton of money on doctors and blood tests and it was crazy. I finally found a doctor that would treat her symptoms rather than her blood tests and she was gradually prescribed a very high dose of natural thyroid hormone which made a huge difference in her life. I have also been on natural thyroid hormones for a while and it has helped me tremendously. But what really helped bring me back to "normal" was natural desiccated adrenal cortex and whole adrenal. I am on 80 mgs. of each and it's amazing the difference I am seeing. Please discuss with your family and good luck finding a great doctor! <3
