Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with a enlarged goiter with diffuse nodules. All the labs say my thyroid is " normal " , but I am learning from all the self-educated experts on the thyroid site that you cant always go by the numbers. Does any one have any idea how to proceed? In julia Ross's " Mood Cure " she suggests that someone taking iodine who is subclinical could suddenly become hypothyroid. She discourages armour. What scares me is that I wake up at 5 am coughing or catching my breath. Sometimes its hard to swallow. Can the goiter be shrunk? The Dr's say no, but I don't have much faith in Dr's, that's why I've come here. Another problem is that I now have very dry eyes and double vision. I take lutin, use compresses and enlarge the fonts on my computer. Still, I fear going blind. I'm severly myopic and can no longer be totally corrected by glasses. Is it possible to improve vision? Has anyone had any luck with this? The reason I am in this mess is because I was misdiagnosed bipolar( rediagnosed perimenopausal and hypoglycemic and almost ended up with ECT treatments !) and put on lithium by a Dr. that didn't monitor my treatment, or even send me in for liver or adrenal tests. I have to deal with both the disease and the anger. Another question: Is there any way to warn other people about this very prominent psychopharmocologist practicing in Berkely Ca. without being sued? I have no case against him because it wasn't " intentional " . Any way of getting my health back and some satisfaction? Thanks and I love this site, R J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
