I wasn't able to come to terms with a lot of stuff till I was retired and alone much of the time to do what I wanted and ponder, read, lock down, tune out. It helped. Doing nothing sometimes helps, if you can. Good luck and hope to see you back on your blog sometime soon :)Harveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490108303790217277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-53852132131803511802017-05-07T23:32:37.061-04:002017-05-07T23:32:37.061-04:00I have no advice, but loads of sympathy.

She had hers removed and symptoms improved. So, some of it could still be thyroid not menopause (it is a rotten word). I hope you start to feel better. Check in with us more often :) (I realize how silly this sounds as I comment 16 days later, but still...)stacybuckeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811500448951042300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-65113168160830961482017-04-23T11:40:10.854-04:002017-04-23T11:40:10.854-04:00Sorry to hear that you've been having so many ...Sorry to hear that you've been having so many health issues!

I have been where you are now and choose a natural, non-medicine route and it worked for me (it wasn't always easy). I am so sorry that it has been such a struggle for you, glad you are speaking out and have become a strong advocate for your health! Email me if you want more details of what worked for me.

I clicked on your name and voila! You came back! I've stopped a few times in the past couple years but haven't seen you. I thought you may have quit forever.

Just about perfect and goes well with my word 'breathe'. :-)<br /><br />We also use coffee beans and grind them fresh each day. I'm very spoiled to that now. I don't have a Chemix, but I can smell the coffee as you describe it. Honestly, my first sip of coffee each day is the best thing I eat or drink all day.
