Wed. 4:30pm

I am still feeling mentally constipated. still no sleep. still up to 30 on the armour, ingesting after meals at different times.

I did not take the seroquel last night. I just HATE to take meds, but I am HATING this exhaustion as well. I read that there are lots of lawsuits against this product for causing HBP. So, I guess I have to figure which I HATE the least.

I have started to feel an "internal quiver" no visible trembling. I am thinking this might be from the prozac. That is why I hate to add meds at all different times. You can't figure which symptom is from which disease or which med.

I do feel depressed, as this just continues and continues. I am trying to fight that off though, but when you are put on the fence, and life continues going, you can't really participate, it is difficult to maintain a positive flow of thoughts.

I will have to keep repeating "trust in the Lord with all thine heart, lean not on thine on understanding. In ALL thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths"

I am trying to be patient, as it hinders healing to get upset and stressed.

I was able to help with some laundry today. Not much more than that though, I was just wore out, mentally and physically.

Graham has been really good to help keep things going and Mike does not fuss about things, so in that respect I am blessed. Griffin has been very sweet asking how I am feeling and trying to hug me.

Well, I think I am going to go outside for some barnyard therapy.

Peggy,
I'm so sorry to see that you are still feeling badly.  I so wish you could be able to get some sleep!  I know what you mean about the mental exhaustion.  I think my levels are finally getting better.  I've been able to sleep a whole lot better now.
I had that "internal quiver" when I was on the Synthroid, and then when we booted my Armour up... so I took myself back down to 30mg of Armour and feel much better.  I taken mine before meals (about 30 minutes) and a lot of times put it between my cheek and gum and let it dissolve.
The Seroquel would scare me as well, hon.  So many of the drugs on the market today stink.  I like drinking the Melatonin Tea that you can get at the healthfood stores.  It's just enough to make me tire to where I fall right to sleep, and no hangover LOL.
If you get a chance, you might check out SparkPeople.com
They have some awesome Thyroid groups on there and they also have tons of support as well.
Best Wishes,
Ro

Ro, Thanks so much for the encouragement. That has been what has helped keep me going.
I tried the armour sublingual, and bucal, but the t3 is released so quickly, and was causing symptoms, so I am varying my method. I am trying to stay on armour, instead of switching to synthroid.

I didn't know about the melatonin tea. I will try that. I have tried the melatonin pills, to no avail.

I am glad to hear you are sleeping better, and are feeling better. Good news is always good to hear.

Take care of that thyroid......Peggy

Peggy....my thoughts are with you and my prayers as well!  I just want to hear you say....I slept!!  It will happen!
The melatonin tea sounds like a good idea!  Quick....make a dash for the healthfood store!  :)
Glad your family was supportive of you today.
Peace be with you tonight!! Jesus use to say a lot " Peace be still"  Focus on those words tonight as you lay down to sleep.  Speak to your mind and body and tell it to be still....calm....and at peace....remember...there is power in His words!!
Laura
