Hypothyroidism Symptoms and herbal remedies?
I have almost all the symptoms for this and go to the Doctor Oct. 17th to be tested. I am 30,and under alot of stress with husband deployed and 3 kids at home for me to take care of. Is there anything I can take non=prescription to help this? I would like some input for what worked for you,so I can ask the Dr. about alternatives. Also,my most noticeable symptoms are hair loss and thinning,puffy face,and weight gain. Will these go away after I start medicine or does the medicine just try to control it from becoming worse? How long did it take to get under control? Thanks for the time!

I have really poor eyesight, especially in my left eye, but it's correctable with contact lenses. However, for as long as I can remember, I've had almost no depth perception.
I recently found that if I squint, the world becomes way more three-dimensional. I believe it's because my right eye is much stronger than my left, and squinting allows me to handicap my right eye so that they're equal.
Is there any way I can develop better binocular vision and improve my depth peception?

Lately, I've been feeling really insecure with myself. I have a hard time talking to people because I always mess up my words and that has led me to close off to many of my friends. I'm just too afraid of other's judgements and their opinons about me that it consumes my mind whenever I talk. I'm scared of people not listening or interrupting me to the point that it's unreasonable and my thoughts become a big jumble. What can I do? I feel so hopeless and I hate myself for being this way =( I don't have anyone to talk to about this so please any advice is gladly taken!

After I get through an exhausting workout (three hours of ice time), my body wants to cramp up in different places. Can anyone tell me what the cause of this is (obviously over-exertion), but what my body is lacking that is causing it to want to cramp up? Thanks guys.

I have already tried drugs such as Ambien, Lunesta and Rozerem. I am currently on several drugs which are supposed to have a sedative effect - examples include Klonopin and Geodon. I can't sleep past 3:30am if I stay up all day. I can't sleep past 12:30 am if I nap.

I'm 24 years old. My periods are really heavy and they last a long time...I'm talking months at a time. The one I have now, I've had since at least April (I don't keep track anymore) This first started when I was about 14 and I remember one lasting 40 days. Since then it's gotten much worse. It's not heavy the entire time. Some days it's really light, and others, really heavy. It's so heavy that I will never wear a tampon without a pad. When it's heavy, it's like clots coming out. Anyway, when I don't have it, it's usually for a few months at a time too. I think the max has been 2 months without it. Does anyone have any idea why it's like that?

I have been having a chronic headache since about April of this year. At the time I started having them I was pregnant and it was thought to be high BP. After I delivered I still had them, but since around June they have been getting worse. At first it was thought to be high BP, but I have a home BP machine and my BP is always fine when I take it or have headaches. So, the drs then said it was migraines, well they gave me medicine, and it doesn't work. Then I went back and they said oh it might be your sinus, so I got antibiotics I had to take for 5 days, and it didn't work. My husband is in the Army, and I am trying to get another appointment, but seem to have no luck getting one, I almost went to the ER, but we have 2 small children. No, OTC pain medicine works, I was just wondering if there was something I could try to make it go away, or something I could say to the dr to get him to understand that this is serious. Thank you, any help would be appreciated!

I'm 5'7" and 120 pounds. I know I have an ultrafast metabolism, and it seems no matter how much I eat, I don't gain. I've started an exercise routine, but I don't think it's really all-encompassing for my whole body. I walk and run a lot, and do some weight lifting (mostly with machines). But I'm way too skinny. It's most noticeable in my arms and chest. I think I'd look a lot better if maybe I weighed 20 more pounds. How can I work on this?

What can I do without getting fat? You know, just better build. Not looking to be a bodybuilder or anything.

I have, several times, and hadn't any idea they were gay, until I would then be rejected or discouraged to know I didn't have a chance.

Any stories to share?
