I am a 29 year old woman who has had several health problems - nothing major, but big enough to effect my daily life and quality of life. However, recently I was introduced to Reliv, a complete nutritional supplement, by a friend. I have only been on it for two months, but already my constant headaches are gone, my acid reflux is gone, and my skin has cleared up. Also I went to the doctor for blood work to see how it has affected my thyroid and that has improved and I have lost 20lbs in these last two months!! That is huge for me!

Michelle,

Great site!!! You're right on track with creating a tool like this to enable women to be able to connect to other women easily. I work for a pharmaceutical company and can tell you that even in the Middle East, 80% of all health care decisions are made by women. Also women learn from other women when it comes to their health and the health of their families......so this kind of tool accelerates the natural course of what's already happening online.

TUESDAY, April 29 (HealthDay News) -- Increasing levels of thyrotropin within the normal range may increase the risk of fatal coronary heart disease in women, a Norwegian study finds.

I was just told today by a very close friend of mine to take my temperature in the morning before I get out of bed.
She said it would help me detect a thyroid disorder.
Has anyone ever heard of this?
Did did it work for you?

Thanks so much,

Michelle

I have hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed over 15 years ago and have since been taking various doses of synthroid. I've been told over the years that I can't ever get off of my meds b/c I've trained my thyroid not to work! What gives? I've also heard from natural practitioners that I can. So, what's a hypo girl to do?

This book explains the link between stress and thyroid imbalance; how thyroid imbalance affects your emotions, sex life, and relationships; and how to cope with the effects of this imbalance. Because thyroid problems primarily strike women, a whole section deals with women's health issues, such as infertility, miscarriage, postpartum depression, premenstrual syndrome, and menopause. Another section provides practical tools, such as evaluating lab tests and self-diagnosis techniques, dealing with treatment problems and side effects, and preventing memory lapses and depression.

I'm 37 married for 17 years and mother of 4, 3 boys 20,28,26 and a girl 13. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 15 years ago and type2 about 6 months ago. I am now on the path to lose weight which has been a struggle for me for many years. Feels like I have tried everything and nothing works. I just keep on keeping on. My 18 yr old will be going off to college in the fall and I am so scared to let him go. I am really having a hard time with this. Does it get any easier? The fear of him being away.....not being able to be there whenever he might need me.
