I had some pretty nasty side effects from mine, though, which were pretty uncommon (including 6"+ sized hives and sleeping 15+ hours a night). I fully agree with you about the whole body as a machine. Having the hormone regulating pill helps, but it doesn't solve all problems on its own; reforming diet and exercise helped almost as much as the medication.<br /><br />Glad to hear you have your "thing", everyone needs the chance to discover what works for them, whether that thing is something that has to constantly evolve or not.

I have all of the symptoms you had and just looked up hypothyroidism and now I want to go get a physical too. I've been feeling like there's something wrong with me for months (maybe years) now, and was about to cut out things from my diet (gluten, sugar, lactose) to see if I might be allergic to things. Thank you for this. I'm going to call and make an appointment for a physical, because it can't be normal to feel this way all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-28302638310843887992010-03-26T15:32:53.119-07:002010-03-26T15:32:53.119-07:00Oh, wow!

I love that and wish I could figure out how to get there. <br /><br />And I admire that you took the time to figure your body out and get in touch with its individuality and what it needs and responds to. I've meant to but... I haven't. I know I need to. I guess I just don't know where to begin with it all. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for a great, very inspiring post!<br /><br />Karen Beth :)<br />msred5@yahoo.com<br />recy.etsy.comKaren Bethhttp://recy.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-69838498188998252842010-03-26T14:08:35.578-07:002010-03-26T14:08:35.578-07:00I really love this post and I love that you open u...I really love this post and I love that you open up and share things like this. I can understand your hesitance to share your method of things and I understand your reasoning but I see your post mostly as inspiration, not instruction. Just for an example, I looked online after reading your post to find a D.O. in my area and found one! I plan to see him asap about some health problems and a less-than-optimal degree of well-being that I've had for awhile now. So see, your post inspired that.<br /><br />Thank you so much!

I've known for a while that I need to be healthier, but haven't had the time or motivation to make a plan for doing better things for my body. Reading this really motivated me to do some thinking and devote some time to being healthier. And that's so interesting about the blood types!

Loving yourself is a GREAT thing - more people should try it. Ever heard the saying "If you don't love yourself no one else is going to"? BTW, even though I am so thankful for spring {you got a taste of how dreadful our nyc area winters can be}I was sad to put away my gorgeous blue suede fox fur coat {thanks so much for reserving it for me.}I'd like to think that when I do start wearing it this fall your awesome vibes will rub off on me haha.kinda like what your friend was saying about the karma thing.XXchelseanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-81969903643976827422010-03-25T13:12:04.700-07:002010-03-25T13:12:04.700-07:00this post was fascinating!

I agree with you that the body is a machine and food is its fuel. that's why I find it silly and stupid how many girls try and fuel their body with diet coke and half calorie cookies, that's not fuel. go for the juice or cheese stick, it may have more calories, but it is better for you. I also believe we all have different bodies that like certain things and dislike others. It is great you know how your body reacts to various foods. I find it naive how some people just cut entire food groups out of their diet because it is a trendy diet like veganism. you know that dairy is bad for you, but my one friend tried to go vegan and was told she was shutting down her body because of this. we all need to know what we need and the sooner you realize it the better. great post!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831607001500157567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-19412476377398364952010-03-25T13:06:18.921-07:002010-03-25T13:06:18.921-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01831607001500157567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4235431019167859021.post-3939187639273987972010-03-25T12:54:58.861-07:002010-03-25T12:54:58.861-07:00BTW, I didn't have a chance to comment on your...BTW, I didn't have a chance to comment on your eating disorder post but I think you are such a amazing gal to help out like that especially w/o pay.
