MDJunction to me

"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times." (nvrsubtle)

Testing Information You May Not Know ....

Written by Auntie3285

04 December 2008

Some interesting facts that I found recently that many of us may not have been aware of when it comes to testing for hypo/hyper-thyroidism.

I have printed this out and intend to take it to my next PCP appt. because even tho' I have routine blood work done every 3 months, I am not satisfied with feeling the way I do after being on Levrothyroxine for a little over 3 years.

I also have Fibromyalgia but I believe that my exhaustion and memory fog come from bad thyroid more than Fibro.

Gluten intolerance -- also known as celiac disease, celiac sprue, and sprue -- is a genetic autoimmune condition that makes it difficult for the body to properly absorb nutrients from foods. It affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans.
