I'm finally giving up and planning to ask my doctor for something to help with depression - its just gonna take me forever to get in to see her.

Three Years of Progress in pictures
Three years ago today, on my 21st birthday. I'd been out of the hospital for a few weeks after complications from swine flu led to an ordeal that kept me in the hospital for 3 months. I even died for a little bit. I learned how to do everything again at rehab - from little things like moving my fingers and feeding myself,…

Frustrated - Just need to rant a little bit :\
I've been hypo for, well, forever. Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with Hashi's as well. I've been on all different dosages of synthroid with no luck before finally finding a doctor that would allow me to use Armour. It seemed to be working well for several months. Now, at the same time that I was told I had Hashi's my…

And while that's not what I'm…

Switching from synthroid to armour. Questions!!
I've recently started taking armour instead of synthroid and I'm having some issues. I know that it takes a little while to be able to adjust the levels of armour and that will require more bloodwork, but I'm just miserable! So far, I've been on it for 13 days. My hair is falling out, I have absolutely zero energy, I'm…

Getting Started =]
Hi everyone! I'm just getting started, trying to lose weight for (hopefully) the last time. I've been overweight for pretty much my whole life. I had swine flu in 2011 and that caused a lot of complications and even more weight gain, so its been pretty hard to bounce back from that. Now I have a lot of health issues that…
