    Hashimoto's and Adverse Drug Reactions Misery

    I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and have suffered serious adverse drug reactions for many, many years.

    Battling with bullies in the medical profession has been, and still is a nightmare.

    I found this link today and am going to print it off to show to all doctors/consultants that I see in future.

    Hope all Hashimoto patients will find it useful.-------

    Thanks for posting this interesting article. The medical establishment is notorious for bullying; I too have been a victim several times. In my personal experience, this so-called profession protects some of the most dangerous predators I have ever encountered. The title "Dr" offers predators in the medical "profession" (read: industry) the same kind of protection as other types of predators (eg the Saville type) enjoy by virtue of the title Sir/Lord, etc.

    I love this bit :

    'In fact, I would consider thyroid testing, specifically for autoimmune thyroid disease like Hashimoto’s, as one of the first disease processes to rule out.'

    If only!!! Yes, this is a good thing to take to your doctors. They might learn something useful!!!

    Good article, bomap. Thanks for posting.

    Hugs, Grey

    Actually, the Japanese treat any B12 level Under 800! Mine was about 250 and the doctor said it was 'perfect'! I could hardly walk and would forget what I was saying mid-sentence. I had been taking several médications that I've read deplete your B12 and magnesium, but the doctor denied this - and even said that magnesium was unimportant! Second time I've heard a doc say this.

    I started supplementing with B12, and some other things, and began to feel much better. But my supply began to dwindle, I ordered more but it didn't arrive!!! By the beginning of this week I was completely out of B12, and I felt as if I were going to die.

    My B12 arrived yesterday and I immediately took 2000 mcg and began to feel better. Last night I had the best night's sleep I've had in ages.

    They just don't understand the importance of these things. It's criminal!

    thank you yes, I am convinced now that a lot of my symptoms are down low to B12. Since I stopped taking it this week in readiness for my blood test on Tuesday I have felt worse and worse. Sleeping very badly, clumsy, knocking into things completely exhausted.

    how do you take yours? I have sub-lingual tablets as these seem to work better than regular supplements although if levels are really low and in pernicious anemia injections are better.

    My aunt received the injections but i think they were only every few months.

    I have to have high doses of sub-lingual tablets because my doctor won't even admit that it's low. No point in counting on him for injections, I'm afraid!

    Thank you Bomap thats a realy valuable piece of work. I'm sure people think I am completely mad when I am trying to explain my illness, especially the doctors! I posted this to FB and sent it to my family. Hoping that my children will never suffer with these problems but if they do at least I can pre warn them about what help they may need so they don't have to battle like we all have.
