I was wondering --

Those of you dealing with the doctors who live by TSH --

Do any of you by chance have hormone imbalance as I and my son do -- and
have you looked into the play of milk products and the hormones and
antibiotics fed to cows to make the milk so cheap?

My TSH was too low even though I had all the symptoms almost into myexdema
coma -- and now that I am drinking organic milk and cheese some of the mood
swings etc. have been reduced and even though I am now taking 3 grains of
armour prescribed by my psychiatrist instead of the 2 grains I was reduced
to my TSH is closer to the bottom of the normal range.

I am hoping that removing that from the diet of my son will help his "bungie
balls", mood swings, muscle soreness -- lack of half of his eyebrows,
complete STOPPING of his puberty (he has now lost all his hair)his
constipation -- growth of moles- his high cholesterol, fluctuating blood
pressure and rapdi weight gain and all of the other symptoms that  the
endocrinologist in childrens hospital say must NOT be ENDOCRINOLOGICAL in
nature because his TSH (when he was drinking milk products) is now 2.1  when
it was 1.1 last year-
SO they will rule out everything PHYSICAL causing his mood swings and figity
behavior and recommend that he be seen immediately by a psychiatrist and
insitute medical therapy (in addition to seeing a nutritionist and
exercising MORE than he already was).

He was born with 4 different kind of kidney disease because despite the fact
I was on hormone replacement therapy and my bood was taken WEEKLY nobody
noticed that the stress I was under and the consumption of milk products
(yes the VERY YEAR they started putting the hormones in the milk in the US
was too high and too low constantly during my pregnancy.


But that could not have ANYTHING to do with hypothyroidism right?  How much
danger is my son going to be in going under to have the operation to bring
down his testicals if he STILL is not being treated for his hypothermia etc?

Yes -- thyroid disease can make you depressed so that you are just breathing
in and out.  And it can quiet your ethics so that you keep your head down,
do your work and let you and others around you be treated like garbage.....

It is only when you get some thyroid medicine -- and start speaking up your
ethics -- asking the company to Walk their walk and talk their talk that you
lose your job, your healthcare, your bonus and now I have to START over and
find a doctor that will treat my hormone imbalance, thyroid disease and get
me well --  AGAIN.  I have had to postpone my appointment at University of
Tucson that I made in SEPTEMBER.

Is there NO doctors out there that I can see that KNOWS about these things??
that I DON'T have to educate?
