Sidenote: I'm starting to feel so much better since I've been taking Synthroid for my newly diagnosed hypothyroid. Also, amazingly I've LOST 4 pounds in 4 days [Originally 135/After steroids 176/Now @ 172]. This is incredible because I haven't been able to lose more than 1 pounds since getting off Prednisone. My theory is that the prednisone "shut off" my thyroid. It is known for causing hypothyroid in some cases. Prednisone is SOOO evil. Why don't the doctors really explain how horrible it is before the start you on it? Or I wonder if it's the Cymbalta? I'm not sure if Cymbalta can affect your thyroid gland/hormones. But I'm so excited that my exercise plan might start making an impact.

Anyhow, back to the bedroom issue...When I mentioned the little trip to Jax I still had the left overs of the flu and had just gotten on antibiotics - (Enbrel makes your immune system non-existent and so you're more open to getting the flu or colds in general). But I knew I'd feel fine on Saturday. So I'm terribly bummed out that we did nothing of any note this weekend. Also, Jax stayed up until 9am (never went to sleep) on Saturday night so our possible one day together was totally shot. He was on the couch all day sleeping. At some point I grew tired of being angry about it and just gave in...I went to sleep on the couch with him.

I suppose it is the relationship blues. I can see that Jax and I are not getting what we each need from our relationship but I have no idea how to change this. I just wish I could turn a switch and alter how Jax deals with us in the "bedroom". This whole caregiver bullshit has screwed up our intimacy so dramatically - and I am so sick of the state of things! I just have no idea how to fix it. Ahhh, another week of spending money on the therapist to try to solve this problem.

After 6 months of therapy you'd think we'd have broken through the "bedroom" barrier by now!!!! But I suppose it's not that simple. Although I am highly uncomfortable talking about my lack of sex on the internet, I also know that there are other people/couples just like us that are going through the same issue/problem due to a chronic disease. It certainly doesn't comfort me, but at least I know that it's important to write about what is REALLY going on. The reality is that Jax and I have not had complete sex since just before my pump surgery last February 2007. That's ridiculous. And it's not the "normal situation" of me not wanting to...quite the opposite. I want that intimacy more than anything! I feel like we'd just be roomies if we weren't so huggy & kissy types. It's Jax that never tries to take things to another level. I've written about it a lot and I'm sure I've bitched and moaned similar to this post... But I still don't understand why he's so afraid of hurting me and says I'm fragile. I mean, of course I understand WHY he says it...but I just wish he could get over that hurdle. Also, my medical issues remind him of his mom and the therapist tried to explain something about how Jax sees me as a "mom" issue and therefore can't have sex with me. What??? I don't understand. all I know is I really want to have a shag (or something close to it) and not worry about all this psychological crap.

Now back to the health insurance paperwork.

Ask you Doctor to order the test for the presence of Thyroid Perioxidase (TPO) antibodies. If these antibodies are present iodine is contraindicated. If you have high TPO antibodies you probable don’t want to take iodine even if you are iodine deficient as this may damage your thyroid gland further and the cells won’t restore.

Of course the best thing you could do is the DNA Reprogramming clearing shown below where we clear for the Thyroid Perioxidase antibodies and you would no longer react negatively to iodine.

The other approach that’s often used is a lifetime prescription of Synthroid or Armour Thyroid which often times results in the client feeling exactly the same. The reason for this is that the iodothyronin deiodinase enzymes (D1, D2, and D3) are not functioning properly. This problem can be addressed by a DNA Reprogramming classes for these specific enzymes.

ORDER: DNA Reprogramming class to clear for Iodothyronin Deiodinase and Thyroid Perioxidase antibodies.

(Or, if you prefer, take the free no-obligation AutoImmune Risk Survey.)

This class can be taught and learned over the phone. It in you will learn to clear for Iodothyronin Deiodinase Enzymes (D1, D2, and D3) and the Thyroid Perioxidase (TPO) antibodies.

The Nutritherapy enhancers for this clearing are from Standard Process. They include Pituitrophin PMG and Thytrophin PMG which helps convert T4 to T3. These will help the Synthroid client to feel better.

Those of you who also have Diabetes or Hypoglycemia along with your Thyroid problem would benefit from a trial course of Paraplex and Symplex M if male or Symplex F if female.

Oi Fabi!!!

Em primeiro lugar, muito obrigada pelo comentário!  Faça perguntas sempre que quiser por aqui, não tenha vergonha.

Bom, sobre o Synthroid eu já expliquei neste post aqui, mas re-explico rapidinho aqui pra você.

Há dois anos atrás eu fui numa médica endócrinologista, fazer alguns exames e ela detectou que eu tenho Tireoidite de Hashimoto, ou seja, eu sofro de hipotireoidismo. O hipotireoidismo é uma doença incurável, onde a minha tireóide não produz hormônios (T3 / T4, ou os dois, não lembro...) na quantidade necessária, logo, o meu metabolismo fica anormalmente lento e eu ganho peso. Fui gordinha a vida toda e só descobri essa minha doença faz três anos.

Ou seja... Eu NÃO tomo o Synthroid pra emagrecer. O Synthroid me faz emagrecer como um efeito colateral, por que ele faz o meu metabolismo funcionar normalmente ao invés de funcionar lento, como seria sem o remédio. Espero ter sido clara.

Por motivos de baixa auto-estima e depressão, eu não tomava o remédio, não me importava comigo mesma, nem nada. Mas felizmente esse ano isso mudou e estou bem melhor e agora firme no remédio.

O Synthroid existe em várias dosagens, 50mcg, 100mcg, 150mcg e assim vai. O seu endócrinologista faz exames em você, e te passa o remédio de acordo com o hormônio que você precisa e com o seu peso.

Se você acha que talvez tenha essa doença, vá a um médico endocrinologista.

Se eu não fui clara o bastante, vou fazer um esforço:

NÃO TOME ESSE REMÉDIO POR CONTA PRÓPRIA. Vá a um médico e se você tiver a doença, cuide-se.

Caso contrário, se você não tiver doença nenhuma, simplesmente tome vergonha na cara, feche a boca e malhe pra caralho, que nem eu tô fazendo. Treine sério e pesado e não coma mais nada do que você gosta.

Infelizmente não tem como falar isso de forma delicada... :/

Outra pergunta que eu vou responder mesmo que não tenham me perguntado: o que eu acho de meninas que tomam remédio deliberadamente pra emagrecer?

Umas fracassadas. Desde o princípio. O fato de você não admitir seus erros (e maus hábitos) já te faz uma fracassada de antemão. Você não precisa ir muito mais longe que isso. :/

A mudança tá na cabeça gente... E isso não tem remédio (ainda) que faça.
Espero ter ajudado! ^_^
