I'm currently in a quest to being diagnosed with this rare and bizarre disease. Being tested on the 6th by my Endocrinologist. Am positive, without a doubt that this is what I have. Was dx with...
Normally I do really good when it comes to staying out of the sun. If I do venture out into the sun light, I normally layer up and protect my skin. Buuuuut, today I did not. My son wanted so very...

I am very well read on hyperparathyroidism and I cannot agree with you more! My Vitamin D levels are at a L 16, I just found out and my calcium levels are anywhere from 10.2-10.6. I also have a cyst...
I will, thank you...
I'm from Massachusetts, Quincy (: I've noticed a lot of heart palpitations and chest pain which I've had as long as I've had the high calcium. So I'm sure that's the connection between the two. It...
Yes, I am dizzy but more so than usual. So much so that I can't even function! I get this awful swaying feeling too every time I walk and even when I sit! It's so awful I'm unable to do anything. My...
Soooo, I need help from you fellow healingwell bloggers. I've had a number of health issues over the past six months that have been overwhelming. First I got strep throat back in February of this...
Had strep throat back in February of this year. It lasted for almost two months! Tried everything to get rid of it, several rounds of antibiotics and even steroids couldn't beat it. It somehow went...
Update: my endocrinologist didn't even bat an eye when I asked for the Armour, he said ''of course''. I was so relieved! He gave me .15mcg and it is indeed Armour and not the generic, I made sure of...
I have an appointment tomorrow with my endocrinologist at 3:15 and will be request it then. I'm not sure if he'll even do it, I've heard a lot of endocrinologists don't like to prescribe it but I...

On medication for my blood pressure? Nope...
I used to never sit and hardly ever got any sleep. I have two children one is 3 the other is turning two so sleep was not something I was familiar with. Now, I sleep for 12+ hours and still wake up...
I had no idea I had to supplement with selenium. I was taking only 0.025 MCG but the side effects were so horrible after a month and a week I weened myself off them. Started with a whole tablet then...
I had to stop taking it about three days ago. I'm waiting for my endocrinologist to put me on Armor instead. Did anyone stop taking there medication and get diarrhea a couple days later? Sorry, tmi I...
For about a month and a half, but I've noticed since taking it I am significantly worse....
And all I know is I take the generic version of Synthroid which is the Levothyroxine....
My TSH level was retested in The ER at 1.5, but not my FT4 that's being tested this Friday. I was surprised at how quickly my levels went down. I also learned today I have a possible parathyroid...
Went to the Cardiologist today and he noticed my calcium levels have remained high, ragng from 10.1-10.6 He said high am mounts of vitamin D can cause thus but I never and I mean never go outside and...

Let me start by telling you this will be a very long and tedious post for others to read. For those of you who stick around to read this all, I greatly appreciate your patience and hope you can give...
Shasta13: You've described perfectly what I wasn't able to! I've had this happen twice to me in the past two weeks. At first I thought it was because I was on a new medication, but now I'm not so...
I read a post that someone hadn't been on in about a year. I've been having bizarre chest symptoms and didn't know how to describe it. I came upon this: ''I'd like to first thank anyone who can give...
Yes, I meant echo. My apologies (: And I appreciate your input, it puts my mind a little more at ease. Just worried because I have very high cholesterol and my MPV have been really high lately as...
Recently went to the ER on the eighth because I thought I was having a heart attack. This was on 7/08 at 3:00am, it woke me up out of a dead sleep! My chest hurt horribly, my palms were sweaty, my...
The sliding fee is actually $170 for my neurologist and I'm currently not on any medication for lupus. I have an appointment on the 23rd of this month with my new rheumatologist who is supposed to...
I have a cardiologist but he's on vacation till the end of thus month and my neurologist costs $170 per visit which unfortunately I cannot afford right now....
Thanks so much Barbara!...
I've recently been having trouble holding my neck up straight, which is unusual considering I'm only 21 years old. It isn't all the time, but when it does happen it feels like my neck is a limp...
Okay, thanks so much for the input! I've just been very worried because I'm new to this and I've always been healthy until recently. I'll just have to get used to this from now on I suppose!...
Has anyone else experienced sharp, Intense, stabbing pains in their mid back, on the right side? It only lasts about a minute or two, but I swear it takes my breath away. Don't know if its related to...
I couldn't find a topic on here that would relate to this so I figured this was as closeas iI was going to get. Let me first start off by saying I have hypothyroidism and Lupus. The past week I've...
I've just food out I no longer have c diff! I didn't even finish my pills and it's somehow gone..I was tested two times and it came back negative. I no longer have chronic diarrhea, but for some...
I just found out I have Hypothyroidism and that my TSH levels were high as long as my MPV. Will taking Synthroid lower my MPV which is at 11.2? If anybody knows I'd really appreciate your input,...
I've been treated in the hospital over the last five months for reoccurring C Diff. Maybe since I can't take the proper medication to treat it, they will approve me for a FT....
I don't have a GI, that's probably my main problem. I'm waiting for my insurance to clear so I can finally get one! I just found out today that I now have Hypothyroidism and that I definitely cannot...
I recently contracted C Diff from taking antibiotics back in February. I wasn't aware of this until April 1,2014. I took Flagyl for 14 days which I thought had gotten rid of it for good. But on June...
Haha, yeah I've been told it doesn't effect your brain but I call bs! I. I now have a really warm sensation all over my head along with the pressure that I can feel behind my nose, eyes and at the...
My doctor is a quack and said Vancomycin doesn't cause those side effects, I'm from the U.S, I live in Florida. The symptoms came back again, not as intense as before but they're still bad. I'm...
I stopped taking the Vanco permanently today at 1pm. My symptoms are mostly gone, my hearing is still off and my head aches Abominably but I hope I'll recover. I've been on it since the 11th but...
I might also add that I get intense pressure behind my eyes, nose and the roof of my mouth. It's so intense that it's been affecting my hearing. I've been told that flagyl and vanco can cause...
Thank you all for your input, last night I slept through my alarm that reminds me to take my Vanco, so after 12 hours being off it, the extreme pressure in my head had almost completely subsided. The...
Im a 21 year old woman with two kids.I contracted C DIFF back in February of this year. I recently was just diagnosed with it yet again this past week. I was put on 500mg of Flagyl, three times a...
Okay, I had no idea! Thanks so much!...
I've had 5 CT scans, two xrays and 1 MRI done in the last 35 days, I'm worried I could maybe die from too much radiation. I've never had any prior to this past month and I've been feeling really...
I've only been on it for a couple months, but I don't take it regularly because I hate the way it makes me feel. It helps somedays but mostly I feel weaker, like it's eating away at me....
