Hi Denise, I'm 71 and was diagnosed with Graves disease in 1989. Radioactive iodine killed my thyroid off in a matter of weeks (suppose to take 5 to 15 years to do that). Felt dead for 15 years on Synthroid. (The horror stories I could share.) After listening to a research chemist who specializes in autoimmune diseases, I switched to Armour Thyroid. Within two weeks I was back to singing in the car, the energy was through the roof. My first thoughts were "where is this energy coming from?" I hadn't felt this way in fifteen years. I've been on Armour for 21 years now and what a difference it has made. I have a life now.
@@mercuryinretro Graves & Hashi are serious autoimmune illnesses left unchecked. I have Hashi and my goitrous right lobe was removed in 2015, and that period afterward was an awful time healthwise. I’ve taken Armour Thyroid since 1978, and decades down the road, when the company changed hands and the formula changed, Synthroid (Levothyroxine) was added, but Synthroid made me very sick. A new Endo prescribed Tirosint, which is also Levothyroxine, but without the fillers. Apparently, I was allergic to the fillers added to Synthroid. I’ve done much better on the combo of Tirosint & Armour. Not all Endos are willing to prescribe Armour. Luckily mine isn’t one of them. I’m 76 and was Dx’d at age 30.
Real pig thyroid (Armour) vs. synthetic Synthroid makes all the difference in the T-3 T-4 conversion. I’m almost 60 and have been dealing with the same issue for 20 years. Not nearly as long as you have. I’m glad to hear someone finally put it together for you. What bothers me, is 50% of Americans have autoimmune other illnesses that were very rare or nonexistent when I was growing up. 50% of children are diabetic! They are poisoning our food with seed oils, pesticides and too much sugar. It’s quite sickening when you think about what these big corporations are doing for financial gain. They teamed up with the medical industry to keep people sick and taking expensive medications for a lifetime. Lifetime revenue off of humans.😔
I was on Armour for a number of years. I didn't feel better, but I didn't feel worse, and was told to avoid synthroid for my situation. One thing it did help with was edema. I'm not on anything now, because my numbers are "within normal perimeters" but wonder if I might benefit from it now.
@@agresticumbra Every person’s body is different and what works for some, in many cases, may not benefit the next person. If you are blessed enough to be free of a Big Pharma medication, this is something to be celebrated. Please don’t unnecessarily go on something unless it’s absolutely necessary. It’s frustrating that in today’s western society, there is continual brainwashing for us to believe that it is normal to be on several pharmaceutical medications, especially as we get older. Most medications have adverse side effects that eventually show up, and doctors are trained to prescribe you another drug to treat the side effect until it turns into a vicious cycle, and you end up scratching your head, wondering how you ended up so sick and taking numerous medications. Most of today’s doctors are actually incentivized to get their patients on as many life long medications, as opposed to helping their patients get off of meds. Medical schools receive countless funding to train these med students not to treat the entire body as an entire metabolic system, (which we are comprised of) but break us down into specialized categories for treating just parts of the body with surgery or drugs. They are never taught about the importance of nutrition and how 98% of these relatively new illnesses we see today can be attributed to poor diet and little to no exercise.. They are all about lifetime revenue at the expense of our health. It’s a very sad and evil. Please consider yourself fortunate for every medication you are able to get free from.
You might find watching Ken Berry, MD, and the other MDs on the Carnivore train. They are all MDs turning to metabolic treatments. Trying the carnivore way of eating has taken away the anxiety, I do have Graves as well.
Denise, my daughter who is 50 suffers from the same thing you do. She works full-time as an office manager for a large dental office. So far this year she has had a son graduate from high school, and her daughter High school. Mother-in-law was very ill for several months at the beginning of the year. I say this to tell you that stress brings on her pain, aches and tiredness when she is home. She sleeps all afternoon. The same on the weekends. At times she hurts so bad down her legs that she sees a rheumatologist for prednisone injections into the sides of her upper thigh, on both legs. Of most of her pain. Stress is the biggest factor that sends her down the tubes. She weighs about the same that you do and she is beautiful like you. We have done research into autoimmune diseases and they are hereditary. My mother, my grandmother suffered this most of their life after 50. I pray for you and those that suffer from autoimmune diseases. More people are understanding this as time goes on, but you're right. The doctors just poo poohed it and said it's all in your head. Or they would say exercise more, join a gym. Wishing you some relief real soon. See what you can eliminate in any volunteering that you're doing. And I pray for your husband to be able to stay working. That is a huge stress factor. Much love, sharon
Denise be careful, with symptoms, I was having similiar issues with Thyroid levels, lots of my symptoms, went from hypo to 10 in no time, felt awful, I was feeling so many symptoms prior, burning in breast, palpations, severe fatique, high stress and anxiety, you name it. My home flooded due to hurricane Harvey during it all, had to be gutted and rebuilt, just so much. Anyway be careful and you might think about seeing a cardiologist. I wound up having a heart attack during this. Luckily, they were able to stent, as it was my RCA artiary was 90% blocked. Not trying to scare you, but you have so many symptoms that I was dealing with. My prayers go out to you, hope you feel better soon. Thanks for all your hard work and insight. 🙏🙏🙏
I also am a Graves Girl. I had my thyroid removed 11 years ago and still struggle with keeping my levels stable. I fluctuate radically from high to low. It is a constant battle. Just know you are not alone and you are NOT CRAZY.!!
I'm 68 yo. Went for so, so many years with undiagnosed Hashimoto's, suffered greatly, doctors were of no help. Finally, I demanded the antibodies portion of the thyroid tests! My Dr at that time answered with,"Did you ever see the psych we talked about?". I was furious and started listing my textbook symptoms until she agreed. Sure enough, came back severe Hashimoto's. I ended up having to get my thyroid removed (3 opinions)... and the surgeon said it fell apart in her hands, it was so destroyed by not being properly treated 😢 Hold your ground! Demand tests. Keep changing doctors if you need to!! Since my total thyroidectomy, it's been a constant struggle to get my levels right, changing meds and doses every 3-6 months for the past 8 years. Not fun. I'm going to try Paloma Health and see if their results match my clinic's!!
I’ve suffered from anxiety for a long time , after the birth of my last child. It’s absolutely devastating when you don’t know what’s happening to you. My doctor said it was post natal depression ( for 18 years!?!?!) I was given Diazepam which I became addicted to. I gradually weaned myself off them which was hellish. Eventually I was diagnosed with Graves after 18 years of crippling anxiety. I was labelled a hypochondriac, over anxious mother, attention seeker. My doctor told me to try meditation. Seriously. I am feeling better now but the fear of the anxiety coming back is really scary. Sending prayers from the UK 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Denise , I had thyroid issues all my life (horrible hair ) I have graves desease! I have been in remission for long time and being stable! I am weaned of medication completely! I am not saying not to take medication at all, specially till you get stable! What really helped me is being very particular with my choice of food! What gave huge improvement is animal base diet , eggs , butter , beef lamb and some organic fruit ! Every thing grass-fed pasture raised possibly organic! The fruit strictly organic!I am 63 and obviously had this for a long time , but discovered it when I was in my 40ties! You know is un autoimmune! And when you have one the other one gonna pop up! My long research have convinced me that everything come down to gut health! In this case the body imuniteti is compromised through so-called leaky gut! Elimination diet and proper food took care of me ! You mention keto but just to be real having greens in your diet would not help because of oksalates which effects every inflammation in this case hyper thyroid which can be Graves desease! I would encourage you to look at the animal base animal base community, they have some good doctors there! I follow Paul Saladino! Good luck
I agree with leaky gut being a huge contributor to health problems for women. I highly recommend the book, Wheat Belly, by William Davis, MD. He also has a podcast. Functional medicine doctors are a good resource in determining what’s happening in your gut down to the most minute issue.
Oh sweetheart, I live in the UK, totally get you. I am in a terrible state. Now 61 and my arthritis and hashimotos are playing tricks with my body for sure amongst other stuff. You can have all the prayers you need from me, I will pray for you tonight. You give so much to others, thank you for that. Xx❤
Denise, you are continuously doing things to help others, even though you're dealing with your own major health issues. You're as kind as they come, and I will gladly keep you in my prayers! God bless you & I hope you feel better really soon!! 🙏❤❤❤ Here are some Scriptures that will help... Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 John 5:14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. Mark 11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. Matthew 21:22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Psalm 18:6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
Thank you for your transparency. Knowing exactly what you are struggling in this way helps me know how to pray for you. I deal with daily health issues too, so I feel a lot of what you are talking about. Hang in there. You will be added to my daily prayer list. ❤
I hear you, Denise. I recognized classic hyperthyroidism symptoms. I’m so sorry for not reaching out to you. Absolutely, with weight loss, your levels & dosage must be continually checked & adjusted. I have standing lab orders at my local hospital lab. I have Hashi thyroiditis, anxiety/depression, panic attacks, night sweats, other autoimmune illness, etc. too. Autoimmune diseases are hard to get diagnosed first of all, and living with them is very difficult. Constant highs & lows. Although, I’ve heard of people curing their Hashi, I’ve not had that experience. Not that I haven’t tried. 45 yrs. of this and it’s still ongoing! Keep the faith, let go and let God. This too shall pass. 💕💕
It is possible that through your recent significant weight loss and dietary changes you have reduced your overall inflammation and put the inflammatory disease Hashimoto’s into remission. If this is the case you would no longer need to be taking Synthroid or a similar thyroid replacement drug. That being said, it is possible that you have cured yourself of thyroid disease and no longer need any medication. This has happened to many people with Hashimoto’s disease who are on a very low carb or no carb diets.
I had the exact same thought. I think it's possible her weight loss has had a positive effect on her hormones and that is why she needs the extreme change to her synthroid levels. It's amazing how positive the effects of keto and weight loss are.
Prayers for you my dear. My sister goes through a lot of this. So many physicians have no clue, they are pushed so hard by their employer and HAVE to see so many patients each day to meet a quota or they get docked money. The mega hospitals own these doctors by contracts. Hardly ever will you see a physician working for themselves anymore. All goes back to money and time is money. I have been a nurse for 30 years in the hospital setting. I have seen this change. I see the change in the new doctors coming out and most really care and want to make a difference in patients lives. Then after about 10 years, or less now, they are getting burned up just like us nurses are by the hospital administration who owns us all. Behind them are the insurance companies. Probably if medicare/medicaid and insurance would actually be worth the money and pay out what is paid in, people would be healthier and happier. I think insurance is the root of evil.
@@ClassySassyManes I’m a retired nurse and I agree with your assessment about the medical field, hospitals & insurance co’s. I do feel that doctors who also take a holistic (functional) approach to treating patients are the ones to look for. I’ve always said that stressing prevention to patients as opposed to writing scrips to treat their symptoms is where many doctors fail. Nowadays, I think younger doctors have gotten better with that aspect.
So happy to see this. I was on synthroid for 35 years and honestly didn’t realize how bad I still felt until I went through menopause. The dr never adjusted my med and I started to have hyper symptoms. Still felt bad during med adjustment until finally took myself off the med completely during Covid. I have no confidence in drs. It’s been 4 years and I actually feel a bit better. I might look into Paloma. Praying for you💜
Your story is reminding me of my own health problems from long term low carb diet. Blew out my adrenals. The most UNBELIEVABLE anxiety (panic) daily. Heart palps, horrible low blood sugar on and off all day long… super low cortisol, super low progesterone, sleep SUPER elusive. I hope you find out everything!
Stay strong believe in yourself. I too had graves on the beginning , 2 hits of radioactive iodine came crashing down. One day I could not stand up. I had two toddlers when my husband came home from work he stated we are going to the hospital. I crashed and became hypothyroid. Had to see my endocrinologist. He adjusted my dosage. I was fine for about 35 years. Now I am in my seventies and for the past two years my TSH bounces around. It talked a long time as you state to become stable. I live in Florida you know the summer heat is brutal yet I have to go to bed with two pairs of socks and an electric blanket. The fatigue is horrible. Have lost most of my hair. Thank God for your help I have no problems with wearing wigs. To get an appointment with an endocrinologist will be the first week of December. I have taken it. I am coming in with a lot of research and seminars. I have a list of tests I desire most of all is the receptors on my cells able to absorb the levothyroxine. I will keep you posted. God has given me a good life and I want to savor it to the end. 😊
So good to see your face and now know why we haven't seen or heard from you. I totally agree I'm 75 and there has been a huge change in medical care in this country, less interest in most doctors we see and very expensive. Let alone if there's one to see. Most are Nurse Practitioners. I never heard of Paloma Health before and I thank you for the information you've given us. You do have many of us who will be praying for you, always take care of yourself first as this helps to care for others. 💛
Hi Denise, thank you so much for sharing. You’ve been so helpful in my wig wearing journey and you have truly blessed me. I’m sad to hear that you’ve been feeling ill. You will be in my prayers. You are my sister in Christ and I will pray for you that way. On a sidenote, I totally agree with you about the medical system. Doctors in general you get no answers and you get pushed away and it’s terrible. I used to work in that field so I’ve seen it up close in person and now as a woman in need I see it as a patient . I think women just get pushed aside because of preconceived opinions. Perhaps not always, but certainly a good part of the time. God bless you and your family and I will pray for your husband‘s job also ❤🙏🏻
I’m so sorry you going through this. I pray God heals you. I can definitely relate to what you’re going through. You’re so right it’s very hard sometimes to get a dr to take us seriously when we are sick. I was sick many years ago and couldn’t get out of bed and had a dr tell me it was nerves another just didn’t know what it was so he did nothing. I finally got a diagnosis. I was already in late stages of Lyme disease. Now many years later I’m paying for it with many health issues. I am going through it again now with drs with my health. I feel for you what you are going through. It’s not easy. I pray you start feeling better soon. Also THANK YOU SO MUCH for your videos. They are such a huge help to all of us. Please take care of yourself and get well soon. We all appreciate you and what you do.
Hashimoto's girl here. I had the same symptoms and ended up in the ER. Told the Dr that I was having a thyroid storm and he kind of chuckled. Your not having a thyroid storm he said. Heart rate all over the place. Blood pressure high. I had the shakes. They gave me a lorazapam drip and let me go still with symptoms. Went to my GP and he ran tests. Called me immediately and said my numbers were way too low. Adjusted my dose. Took a while, but I'm fine now. In time you'll be fine but never stop advocating for yourself.
Hey Hashimotos sister. Omg, this disorder has made my life unbearable at times. I empathize with the extreme anxiety and other issues. I’ve suffered for at least 20 yrs. Keto was a good decision but maybe Carnivore may be better. I can’t afford either of those anymore but I am hopeful I can resume when/if the economic crisis improves. I do supplement with Iodine and desiccated Bovine Thyroid. I too have felt like garbage for the last year and gained some weight back. It’s truly a vicious cycle. It’s like being stuck on a hamster wheel that you can’t stop. I don’t have friends but I’m sure you do and try to let them help you. You need extra help and moral support. I do know in hindsight the Lord will have been there for ya. Sometimes when we’re in crisis we can’t see it. 🙏❤️ Sending you love sister!!!
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles. I also wear wigs, hypo thyroid, have anxiety issues, 71 yrs old. We want to look the best we can but it’s exhausting wearing wigs, makeup and health issues. You are a great inspiration to so many. May God bless you and your family.❤
Sending you huge hugs!! Thank you so much for taking time to comment.... one thing about making videos... it's tough to do when you aren't feeling well... that's for sure. It is one thing to sit at a desk with a desk job, especially from home when you can wear no makeup, not showered, in pjs... that doesn't work so well here, lol. I pray you are having a great week!
@@heywigsister Have you ever taken a Ferritin Iron test? You might want to with your diabetes & arthritis issue. You could have high iron which can be Hemechromatisis (a gentic issue where you store to much iron). Look into Hemechromatosis and also hAemechromatosis (the way they spell it in Europe). If your ancestors are from Northern Europe including Ireland, UK, Scottland, Wales, Sweden, Norway, Northern German, Ukraine etc there is a very very high population around the world that had Hemechromatosis (which causes iron overload) with out knowing. Some of the symptoms are fatigue, arthritis, heart issues, liver issues, etc etc (longer list). Iron overload is DEADLY. You could also be deficient in Magnesium (see ch Dr Berg's vd on this), potassium (see dr bergs vds on this) heart palputations are a sign of deficiency in one or both also you could be , iron deficient. Tell your doc you want vitamin & mineral deficiency panel including magnesium, potassium, FERRITIN (Make sure it's this test see vds on why) etc. take care
Yes! I feel this. I fought breast cancer three years ago. Thought I was going through depression turns out one of my meds was the culprit but the doc would never listen to me. I took my treatment into my own hands and feel like my old self! Will pray for you daily!
Denise I’m so sorry that you have been feeling so bad and thank you for your kindness and caring in all your videos. I’m a 74yr old retired nurse who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2012. Not until I was retired and had some health issues did I realize how cold and patronizing the medical profession can be. I’m so sorry you have experienced this as well. I am currently feeling well but don’t know why, just lucky I guess. Don’t give up and take good care of yourself. ❤❤
This popped up for me, so I watched it out of curiosity. I'm so sorry for the symptoms you're experiencing and will be sure to pray for you. Like you, I'm also jaded about doctors. I'm elderly and can remember when health care was far, far better than it is today. 😢 I'm wondering if you've followed Mikhaila Peterson's health journey. If not, you really should check it out. She had some extremely serious challenges with RA since she was a little girl. She's found an answer for that and many other health issues. Now her entire family has incorporated her lifestyle and found good health as well. Look into it. 👍🏾 P.S. Your skin is gorgeous! What a blessing!
Thanks for sharing with us. I suffer from Hypo. I wasn't are you could have Graves when you also have Hashimotos. That's very valuable information. I pray you feel better. It's such a struggle. I had to spend most of Saturday in bed. The fatigue is so overwhelming. I also have RA. And 9 autoimmune diseases so life is a daily struggle. We just need to support each other by ones that understand our struggles. ❤
Fellow Graves survivor here. I’ve been in remission since 2019 but it takes so little to come back. I’m in the UK so it’s very hard to be seen and heard. I struggle to get my levels tested since I was discharged by the Endo. Sending positive thoughts - you’ve been so helpful for me when it comes to hair choices - thank you and I’m sure you’ll be feeling wonderful again soon. In the meantime - take care of you!!! X
Hi Denise! I am 57 and have struggled with hypothyroidism with Hashimotos. I know how difficult it is to find a provider to properly treat you. I finally found one that also offers tele-health visits. What a difference! I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I'm pretty sure my meds will be adjusted on my next set of labs because I'm starting to feel symptoms again. God bless
Along with so many others in the comments, I struggle with many of the same diagnoses. Advocate for your health. Educate yourself on all of it. Don’t tolerate a poor physician. These are my best tips for navigating the road ahead. I wish you all the best. You’re in my thoughts and prayers
Denise, you’re amazing. I’m so glad you found out what’s behind this health challenge…add me to the list of those lifting you in prayer. Thank you for being such a light 💕🙏🏻
I thought my feed wasn’t loading correctly because I always love watching you and you are always such a breath of fresh air. I struggle with thyroid problems and they are difficult either way whether you are hypo or hyper because the hypo can make you cold and very depressed and not want to move and the hyper can make you sweaty and gives you heart palpitations, and I’ve experience both when I’ve been on thyroid medication. I cannot even tolerate any type of thyroid medication to help regulate my hypothyroidism/Hashimotos so I am struggling right now and I was sitting here thinking how bad I felt and how many things I have to do today that need to be done but I have no energy to do. It is such a struggle and it’s so scary because I am divorced for many years and disabled from multiple spinal surgeries and my son who is 32 has been disabled since he was 14 and he is very sick right now. We can barely afford to make it so I know that type of anxiety too. Thank you for sharing and letting us know that you are ok and we are not alone in the way we feel and I hope that you get to feeling better and can get everything situated in your life because you are a much needed and wanted woman in the Wig community and I don’t know you personally, but I believe you are a beautiful person inside and out! Prayers for you🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
I'm sorry you have this illness. I too suffer from an illness that is not common for 22yrs. Most doctors never see a patient with my illness. They only read it in text books. I know the feeling & frustration you have gone through. I am glad you now know why you have been feeling so sick. I hope you start to get better real soon. Lots of hugs & prayers!!
Denise, you are wonderful, beautiful and thank you for sharing all you have been going through, helping others who might suffer too. Get well soon, we pray for you 🙏
I am not only a Wig Sister but a Hashimoto’s Sister. I have been through the struggle and yes there is light at the end. You have held so many of us Wig Sisters up like myself when we were feeling at our lowest with no self confidence, no hope, and no self love. Please know so many of us right now and always will be holding you up when you feel like you can no longer stand through our love, thoughts and prayers. You have been such a blessing to so many. I have had hair loss since I was 10 years old. You helped me find my confidence in June of this year at 55 when I saw you being your authentic, raw self and I realized I wasn’t alone with hair loss. I thank you! I’m praying for your healing and that God will take care of each of your concerns you talked about.❤
Oh Denise, I’m so sorry that you’re struggling. I can empathize with how you’re feeling. I’m currently undergoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy for stage 3 breast cancer and the immunotherapy has really kicked me down. Like you, I’m experiencing a racing heart and get short of breath even when trying to accomplish the simplest of tasks. It’s frustrating, so fatiguing, and, at times, scary. I hope that you can get your levels regulated so that you’re feeling better, soon. Sending love and healing your way. ❤
Thanks for your honesty, and I send all my best in getting back to feeling good. It is a world in medicine now where you have to watch out for yourself. Hugs and prayers. And for your husband's job as well. These are tough time for many. Take care,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. My best friend has Hashimoto's disease. She's not getting the medical care that is helping her. Am going to share this with her. My prayers are for you and your family. You have been a blessing in my and others lives. Please keep us updated.❤❤❤
I've been suffering from Hashimoto's since 2015 diagnosis...and diets and meds have helped but it goes back and forth all the time and it's exhausting. I followed you because you're so unapologetically wig positive that it was inspired me to wear wigs at work and about the day and feel confident. Thank you for everything you do.
Adding you to my prayers sweet Denice. Had no idea of this mountain of medical situations with which you are dealing. Let me take time to thank you for the help to me your wig and hair loss videos have provided. God bless you as He helps heal each condition that Paloma is treating. We love you.🥰🙏
Hi As I watched your video I was sending you Reiki, hopefully it won't make you feel hotter! You are so correct about docs not listening or being rigid in their diagnosis. I didn't discover I had narcolepsy until I was 40 years old and now I think I have had it all my life. Because I am a Type A and stubborn I covered it up for years, until I couldn't any longer. Then I found out a week later I had a severe case of fibromyalgia (this was before it was a commonly known condition) and that doc told me there was nothing to be done - that I just had to live with it. This is when Reiki entered my life and has helped me cope for so many years. Years later found I have Hypothyroidism and lately feel something is "off" because my energy levels are even lower than normal. Thanks for the information - you have no idea how many lives you touch. God has given you so many challenges and you have still reached out to help others. We all thank you. Nona
❤ hugs to you!!! You are my favorite person to watch on RUclips. What a grand seller you are and help SOOO many people So ❤ ❤❤ loving and helpful. I hope you feel better soon!
Hi Denise, I’m so sorry for your health issues and pray you get the proper treatment to correct your issues. Our healthcare system is concerning….seems like most doctors are so overwhelmed with their number of patients. I will continue to pray for your peace of mind and that you get the answers you need! You give so much to this community and I thank you for sharing so we can give back to you! ❤
Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been through much of the same. Developed HORRIBLE panic attacks at 29 and really became agoraphobic as I was afraid Togo anywhere with my 3 small babies! I got straightened out after many years with an endocrinologist and a psychiatrist specializing in panic disorder. Such a road full of hills and valleys…. We are pretty confident my anxiety problems stemmed from my Graves Disease. I am 66 now and basically ok…just tired a lot. Will be praying for you! 😊

I am so sorry you are going through this. I had a similar experience, but fortunately, I have a Family Nurse Practitioner who listens, takes me seriously and has helped me tremendously! I will be praying for you! I found that the constant anxiety was the worst symptom. Yes, knowledge is power. In the current state of our health care system, you must be your own advocate! Hope you are free from your symptoms very soon! God bless you!
Paloma is wonderful, I enjoy working with them. In fact I like to compare my results with my primary doctor orders results. I find I feel better when I take the Daily Thyroid Care supplements regularly. I had to start my antidepressant again (Lexapro) a very small dose, half of the lowest dose takes my anxiety and panic attacks away. I used to experience the palpations, sweating and dizziness early on. My dose used to change often. Wishing you the best in this journey to well-being
Prayed for you, Denise! I do understand the overwhelming non-stop sweating. I know I've mentioned it to you before. My family doesn't get that I cannot be outdoors in the hot summer because it's much worse. I don't even have to go outside to sweat. Not sure if mine is due to my Hypothyroidism though. I believe mine is the CIDP and nerve-related because my hands and feet get so hot, burning like they're on fire, then I start sweating all over. It's so miserable. I also understand the heart and anxiety issues. I suffer with SVT (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia). I had one episode that woke me and went non-stop until 5 in the afternoon. My blood pressure was extremely high. I know I should have gone to the ER, but I've had so many of those and always think they'll pass. Then I had the episode last year that scared me so badly and I had to go...my mouth was numb on one side and I couldn't walk or use my hands! I was in the hospital for a week. We really have to listen to our bodies. I'm so glad you're getting some answers. I just hope you feel better soon! Take good care! I love you dearly! ❤️ 🙏 ❤️
Denise, I’m so happy you now have clarity about what’s at the root of your health issues! So sorry you’ve been dealing with all of it, and praying for a speedy recovery! ❤️🩹.
That happened to me. They said I was having a nervous breakdown. I was sick for a year. My doctor finally ordered a scan and it came back showing several small tumors on my thyroid. I had a pre cancer and had my thyroid removed. All my symptoms disappeared. I was so angry. Hoping you will soon feel better.
Get well soon Denise. I have Hashimotos and Polymyalgia Rheumatica so am dealing with similar. Don't think we have Paloma in the UK but I shall investigate. Thanks for the tip and all your amazing videos.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. You may feel bad but you look so beautiful and from watching so many of your video's and journey you are on the inside as well which is where it counts. I have family with Thyroid issues, and recently got myself trapped in the medical circus with autoimmune and now heart, which I believe could be thyroid. I will be buying a test kit for myself and take things into my own hands. Thank you so much.
I moved to a state that doesn’t use or recognize endocrinologists. I was shocked at how much my new gp didn’t know about treatments. Took 2 1/2 years to even see a gp. Hashimotos, massive weight loss, panic attacks…we have the same story. How nice of you to share. I will be calling Monday about the dose of my thyroid med in relation to my weight. I put the weight on by going a couple of years with unidentified hashimotos. Thyroid really regulates our entire well being. ❤️
Im so sorry to hear this. It must be very difficult for you. You are a wonderful person, and you've really helped me with your videos, thank you. I hope you feel better soon. Lots of love ❤️ xxxx
I totally have sympathy with you, my daughter has Graves deasese and has just had her thyroid removed, subsequently really bad problems with her calcium levels. 🙏🙏
Hey Denise, I’m adding you to my list of daily prayers. Will pray for you daily my friend. I feel like you’re my friend I come to your post to see your wig videos a lot! Keep your focus on God your a sweet soul. Economy is so hard during the Biden-Harris administration. It’s hard to pay bills and buy groceries for most of us. I’m here because menopause took my hair and eyebrows when it was through with me. I enjoy your post and love how you turn around and show us the backs of a wig and take it outside to see true colors. So many won’t turn and show the back and they show colors in dark rooms where every color looks grey and black. Thanks for all you do. You take care of yourself now if you need to take some time to rest, well friend we are not going anywhere. We will be right here when you get back🤗
Hi Denise, it's good to hear from you. You're right, I have been wondering where you were. I'm sorry your not feeling well, maybe now you will start to feel better. I will pray for the doctors that are treating you, and for yourself of course. God's speed, Debbie.
God bless you, sweet lady. I’m happy to hear that you finally have answers as to why you have been feeling terrible. Just having answers can go a long way in reducing stress. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers 🙏🏼
❤ can relate Denise! I am also going through similar. My levels are all over the place. Been dealing with Thyroid for 26 years now. Not until last few years has it become a real challenge and in January it was extremely Hypo again. Treated and now Hyper so working on meds balance. Love and prayers to you.
Praying for you sweet sister. I have gone through all of this as well, so totally get where you are coming from. I am blessed to have doctors who do listen to me and are willing to let me go against the medical grain when I want to try 'natural' remedies. My cholesterol was totally out of whack and my dr wanted me to take statins. I knew my thyroid could be causing this so I started taking natural things to get my cholesterol back down. It not only worked, but also is helping to bring my thyroid back to where it should be! I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I probably won't meet you here on earth, but one day... when we get to heaven, I hope I'll meet you in person.
Dear Denise, I’m a new subscriber, so had no idea what you are enduring… I’m glad you found a doctor who listens and works with you! My prayers for your health and your husband’s work situation. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Get well Denise - I am sorry you are experiencing these issues. But glad you are getting the help you need. Take care and always put yourself first! Hugs.
Sending continued healing prayers Denise! I gave up on the medical comunity completely over 5 years ago finally! I have so many things going on besides a botched back surgery! I pray you feel better soon!❤❤
Same process I went through - fast heartbeat to hyperthyroid to horrible anxiety then into pre-menopause. I would be happy then cry for no reason - then had a hysterectomy and immediately after I felt normal after so many years.. No more anxiety and panic attacks. I think there is a direct connection with thyroid and menopause. What I can say as I have helped many women friends - this does end - you will feel like a kid again - the anxiety will go away - I believe when you finish menopause will be the key. When no longer periods you will feell normal. Yes, we all unique and you have found great medical help. Bless you. Thyroid I take two levothyroid 100MCG and liothyronine 5MCG.(my thyroid was over active - heart racing - and in those days they radiated (killed) the thyroid gland) so that placed me in low thyroid just the opposite. The high thyroid part of the horrific anxiety attacks combined with hormones of going through menopause. Hope this helps. We are not crazy - this will pass!
Hi Denise. I am so sorry to hear you have been going through this health issue. I have prayed for restoration of your health and releif from your symptoms. I also prayed for your husband's job. God bless you and your family sweet lady!❤
🙏♥️🙏 thank you for sharing this information. I’m going to have my daughter who is in her 40s now and still struggling with correct diagnosis. I’ll remember you in my prayers daily. God bless you and yours.
God Bless You, Denise! I've watched your videos countless times, and have ultimate faith in you and everything you share! I'm sending you my heartfelt prayers that your symptoms will start to ease, and that you can bounce back to your awesome, beautiful self very, very soon! You are such an inspiration!!
Greetings Denise! I'm so sorry that you are suffering with all these thyroid issues. I could tell that you weren't feeling well, but of course, I didn't know what was going on. You are in my heart and in my prayers 💖🙏 Please do keep me posted. Love you sister!!♥️
Hi Denise. I pray you get symptom relief. I've recently been on a first-time wig journey, researching, and found your tutorials most helpful. Thank you! I also viewed your 2023 keto video. Are you still following your keto plan in light of your recent health issues?
Hi Denise I was just recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year I was so sick for months and my symptoms got so bad I had to go to the hospital I was admitted to the hospital for three weeks after so much testing I was told I was hypothyroidism the endocrinologist told me I was very lucky I went to the hospital when I did. It’s a struggle and the doctors are still trying to manage my meds. Eat healthy be active stay positive Best wishes love and Godbless ❤️
So glad you’ve found out what was happening & you’re getting the help you need to get better. I’ve had so many bad experiences with doctors that I won’t see one unless it’s an emergency.
I love your channel and so grateful for all the wig videos….this new video has struck a chord with, I too have the heart and sweating symptoms, however, I haven’t lost any weight , but I have zero energy . I’ve just found that company in the UK and will be contacting them . Our doctor give you 6 minutes 🤷♀️🤷♀️ hardly time to explain one’s symptoms. Thank you sweetie for sharing this it means such a lot 🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷
Hi Denise! I was in a Thyroid Storm when I found out I had a Hyper Thyroid Disease two years ago! I was breathless, my heart was beating fast, and I was feeling hot and cold, had terrible GI problems, which gave me a great deal of anxiety! I also lost weight and looked horrible! I have Graves Disease. Thankfully my Doctor put me on Methimazole, the medication has helped over the last two years. I hope you are able to get your Thyroid under control and will feel better soon! Thank you for all your wig reviews! I suffer from Alopecia and have been wearing wigs for several years now, all your help in making the wigs, feel more like they look like "BIO" hair have helped me so very much! Hugs, Kim

Glad you find the answers! Women are so over looked when it comes to our health, especially entering/menopause! I had same symptoms. For me, it was getting on HRT. There’s SO much misinformation. I found a great telehealth women’s doc. I couldn’t get an in office visit for 3 months. I am back on track! Glad you are too. I love your wig videos. Menopause was not kind to my hair. Well, wigs and you helped me so much! God bless you. Health is everything!
Dearest D - thank you so much for sharing so we can support you & learn. The discount on the testing is a blessing as we are in the same situation with health insurance. Women helping each other is how we’re gonna get through this! 💪 Gratitude & prayers!🤗✌️
So so sorry for all your struggles Denise. I truly hope that your new med adjustment helps you! I’m thinking if you and sending lots of prayers your way! 💕🙏🙏💕
🙏 for continued improvement with your health. It’s simply amazing how a thyroid can affect your life. I also suffer from hypothyroidism. Weight fluctuations can really play havoc with it.
I’m very glad that you finally have some relief, Denise. I truly believe in the power of prayer and I trust that the Lord’s hand was in this discovery. I can strongly relate to what you went through back when I was first diagnosed with the same, 20 years ago. My Endo was trying to adjust my medications, but in the process, it caused my thyroid to go from hypo to hyper. That was extremely frightening because I had bad anxiety back then due to life circumstances at that time. I’m so glad you are feeling better and continued prayers that you will continue to improve. 🙏 God bless! 💕
Denise, I am so sorry you are going through this with your health and doctors. You look as bright and beautiful as ever, so it certainly does not show on the outside. You are a beauty inside and out. Praying for your health, and your husband's job situation. Sometimes it is the piling up that makes everything so much worse. ❤🙏Sending you love and prayer.
Hi Denise, I am so sorry you are going through this. You don't deserve this, and none of you beautiful people here deserve this. Prayers, love, and hugs to you and the community. God Bless You. ❤
Hi Denise, I'm 71 and was diagnosed with Graves disease in 1989. Radioactive iodine killed my thyroid off in a matter of weeks (suppose to take 5 to 15 years to do that). Felt dead for 15 years on Synthroid. (The horror stories I could share.) After listening to a research chemist who specializes in autoimmune diseases, I switched to Armour Thyroid. Within two weeks I was back to singing in the car, the energy was through the roof. My first thoughts were "where is this energy coming from?" I hadn't felt this way in fifteen years. I've been on Armour for 21 years now and what a difference it has made. I have a life now.
@@mercuryinretro Graves & Hashi are serious autoimmune illnesses left unchecked. I have Hashi and my goitrous right lobe was removed in 2015, and that period afterward was an awful time healthwise. I’ve taken Armour Thyroid since 1978, and decades down the road, when the company changed hands and the formula changed, Synthroid (Levothyroxine) was added, but Synthroid made me very sick. A new Endo prescribed Tirosint, which is also Levothyroxine, but without the fillers. Apparently, I was allergic to the fillers added to Synthroid. I’ve done much better on the combo of Tirosint & Armour.
Not all Endos are willing to prescribe Armour. Luckily mine isn’t one of them. I’m 76 and was Dx’d at age 30.
Real pig thyroid (Armour) vs. synthetic Synthroid makes all the difference in the T-3 T-4 conversion. I’m almost 60 and have been dealing with the same issue for 20 years. Not nearly as long as you have. I’m glad to hear someone finally put it together for you.
What bothers me, is 50% of Americans have autoimmune other illnesses that were very rare or nonexistent when I was growing up. 50% of children are diabetic!
They are poisoning our food with seed oils, pesticides and too much sugar. It’s quite sickening when you think about what these big corporations are doing for financial gain. They teamed up with the medical industry to keep people sick and taking expensive medications for a lifetime.
Lifetime revenue off of humans.😔
God bless you, I’m so happy you’re feeling better!❤
I was on Armour for a number of years. I didn't feel better, but I didn't feel worse, and was told to avoid synthroid for my situation. One thing it did help with was edema. I'm not on anything now, because my numbers are "within normal perimeters" but wonder if I might benefit from it now.
@@agresticumbra Every person’s body is different and what works for some, in many cases, may not benefit the next person. If you are blessed enough to be free of a Big Pharma medication, this is something to be celebrated. Please don’t unnecessarily go on something unless it’s absolutely necessary. It’s frustrating that in today’s western society, there is continual brainwashing for us to believe that it is normal to be on several pharmaceutical medications, especially as we get older. Most medications have adverse side effects that eventually show up, and doctors are trained to prescribe you another drug to treat the side effect until it turns into a vicious cycle, and you end up scratching your head, wondering how you ended up so sick and taking numerous medications. Most of today’s doctors are actually incentivized to get their patients on as many life long medications, as opposed to helping their patients get off of meds. Medical schools receive countless funding to train these med students not to treat the entire body as an entire metabolic system, (which we are comprised of) but break us down into specialized categories for treating just parts of the body with surgery or drugs. They are never taught about the importance of nutrition and how 98% of these relatively new illnesses we see today can be attributed to poor diet and little to no exercise..
They are all about lifetime revenue at the expense of our health. It’s a very sad and evil. Please consider yourself fortunate for every medication you are able to get free from.
You might find watching Ken Berry, MD, and the other MDs on the Carnivore train. They are all MDs turning to metabolic treatments.
Trying the carnivore way of eating has taken away the anxiety, I do have Graves as well.
Denise, my daughter who is 50 suffers from the same thing you do. She works full-time as an office manager for a large dental office. So far this year she has had a son graduate from high school, and her daughter
High school. Mother-in-law was very ill for several months at the beginning of the year. I say this to tell you that stress brings on her pain, aches and tiredness when she is home. She sleeps all afternoon. The same on the weekends. At times she hurts so bad down her legs that she sees a rheumatologist for prednisone injections into the sides of her upper thigh, on both legs. Of most of her pain. Stress is the biggest factor that sends her down the tubes. She weighs about the same that you do and she is beautiful like you.
We have done research into autoimmune diseases and they are hereditary. My mother, my grandmother suffered this most of their life after 50.
I pray for you and those that suffer from autoimmune diseases. More people are understanding this as time goes on, but you're right. The doctors just poo poohed it and said it's all in your head. Or they would say exercise more, join a gym. Wishing you some relief real soon. See what you can eliminate in any volunteering that you're doing. And I pray for your husband to be able to stay working. That is a huge stress factor. Much love, sharon
Denise be careful, with symptoms, I was having similiar issues with Thyroid levels, lots of my symptoms, went from hypo to 10 in no time, felt awful, I was feeling so many symptoms prior, burning in breast, palpations, severe fatique, high stress and anxiety, you name it. My home flooded due to hurricane Harvey during it all, had to be gutted and rebuilt, just so much. Anyway be careful and you might think about seeing a cardiologist. I wound up having a heart attack during this. Luckily, they were able to stent, as it was my RCA artiary was 90% blocked. Not trying to scare you, but you have so many symptoms that I was dealing with. My prayers go out to you, hope you feel better soon. Thanks for all your hard work and insight. 🙏🙏🙏
I also am a Graves Girl. I had my thyroid removed 11 years ago and still struggle with keeping my levels stable. I fluctuate radically from high to low. It is a constant battle. Just know you are not alone and you are NOT CRAZY.!!
I'm 68 yo. Went for so, so many years with undiagnosed Hashimoto's, suffered greatly, doctors were of no help. Finally, I demanded the antibodies portion of the thyroid tests! My Dr at that time answered with,"Did you ever see the psych we talked about?". I was furious and started listing my textbook symptoms until she agreed. Sure enough, came back severe Hashimoto's. I ended up having to get my thyroid removed (3 opinions)... and the surgeon said it fell apart in her hands, it was so destroyed by not being properly treated 😢
Hold your ground! Demand tests. Keep changing doctors if you need to!!
Since my total thyroidectomy, it's been a constant struggle to get my levels right, changing meds and doses every 3-6 months for the past 8 years. Not fun. I'm going to try Paloma Health and see if their results match my clinic's!!
I’ve suffered from anxiety for a long time , after the birth of my last child.
It’s absolutely devastating when you don’t know what’s happening to you.
My doctor said it was post natal depression ( for 18 years!?!?!)
I was given Diazepam which I became addicted to.
I gradually weaned myself off them which was hellish.
Eventually I was diagnosed with Graves after 18 years of crippling anxiety.
I was labelled a hypochondriac, over anxious mother, attention seeker.
My doctor told me to try meditation. Seriously.
I am feeling better now but the fear of the anxiety coming back is really scary.
Sending prayers from the UK 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Denise , I had thyroid issues all my life (horrible hair ) I have graves desease! I have been in remission for long time and being stable! I am weaned of medication completely! I am not saying not to take medication at all, specially till you get stable! What really helped me is being very particular with my choice of food! What gave huge improvement is animal base diet , eggs , butter , beef lamb and some organic fruit ! Every thing grass-fed pasture raised possibly organic! The fruit strictly organic!I am 63 and obviously had this for a long time , but discovered it when I was in my 40ties! You know is un autoimmune! And when you have one the other one gonna pop up! My long research have convinced me that everything come down to gut health! In this case the body imuniteti is compromised through so-called leaky gut! Elimination diet and proper food took care of me ! You mention keto but just to be real having greens in your diet would not help because of oksalates which effects every inflammation in this case hyper thyroid which can be Graves desease! I would encourage you to look at the animal base animal base community, they have some good doctors there! I follow Paul Saladino! Good luck
I agree with leaky gut being a huge contributor to health problems for women. I highly recommend the book, Wheat Belly, by William Davis, MD. He also has a podcast. Functional medicine doctors are a good resource in determining what’s happening in your gut down to the most minute issue.
Ditto,and now they tell me it’s the carnivore diet. Lugols 5%iodine 2 drops in coffee say Dr Barry
Oh sweetheart, I live in the UK, totally get you. I am in a terrible state. Now 61 and my arthritis and hashimotos are playing tricks with my body for sure amongst other stuff. You can have all the prayers you need from me, I will pray for you tonight. You give so much to others, thank you for that. Xx❤
My body is messing with me too. I am 64.
Have you tried carnivore and looking into iodine.
Remember, your sisters are praying for you. God is able
Denise, you are continuously doing things to help others, even though you're dealing with your own major health issues. You're as kind as they come, and I will gladly keep you in my prayers! God bless you & I hope you feel better really soon!! 🙏❤❤❤ Here are some Scriptures that will help...
Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
1 John 5:14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.
Matthew 21:22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.
Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Psalm 18:6 In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
Thank you for your transparency. Knowing exactly what you are struggling in this way helps me know how to pray for you. I deal with daily health issues too, so I feel a lot of what you are talking about. Hang in there. You will be added to my daily prayer list. ❤
I hear you, Denise. I recognized classic hyperthyroidism symptoms. I’m so sorry for not reaching out to you. Absolutely, with weight loss, your levels & dosage must be continually checked & adjusted. I have standing lab orders at my local hospital lab. I have Hashi thyroiditis, anxiety/depression, panic attacks, night sweats, other autoimmune illness, etc. too. Autoimmune diseases are hard to get diagnosed first of all, and living with them is very difficult. Constant highs & lows. Although, I’ve heard of people curing their Hashi, I’ve not had that experience. Not that I haven’t tried. 45 yrs. of this and it’s still ongoing!
Keep the faith, let go and let God. This too shall pass. 💕💕
Denise< i thank you for your help and information. Sending blessing and hope you feel better soon. You are a friend
It is possible that through your recent significant weight loss and dietary changes you have reduced your overall inflammation and put the inflammatory disease Hashimoto’s into remission. If this is the case you would no longer need to be taking Synthroid or a similar thyroid replacement drug. That being said, it is possible that you have cured yourself of thyroid disease and no longer need any medication. This has happened to many people with Hashimoto’s disease who are on a very low carb or no carb diets.
Suggestion: Go all the way and do carnivore diet. Then try getting off those meds. ❤
I had the exact same thought. I think it's possible her weight loss has had a positive effect on her hormones and that is why she needs the extreme change to her synthroid levels. It's amazing how positive the effects of keto and weight loss are.
Prayers for you my dear. My sister goes through a lot of this. So many physicians have no clue, they are pushed so hard by their employer and HAVE to see so many patients each day to meet a quota or they get docked money. The mega hospitals own these doctors by contracts. Hardly ever will you see a physician working for themselves anymore. All goes back to money and time is money. I have been a nurse for 30 years in the hospital setting. I have seen this change. I see the change in the new doctors coming out and most really care and want to make a difference in patients lives. Then after about 10 years, or less now, they are getting burned up just like us nurses are by the hospital administration who owns us all. Behind them are the insurance companies. Probably if medicare/medicaid and insurance would actually be worth the money and pay out what is paid in, people would be healthier and happier. I think insurance is the root of evil.
@@ClassySassyManes I’m a retired nurse and I agree with your assessment about the medical field, hospitals & insurance co’s.
I do feel that doctors who also take a holistic (functional) approach to treating patients are the ones to look for. I’ve always said that stressing prevention to patients as opposed to writing scrips to treat their symptoms is where many doctors fail. Nowadays, I think younger doctors have gotten better with that aspect.
@@alp6244 Totally agree. Gut health, stress and sleep are so major in a person's health.
Just a note to say thank you for all you do, for sharing such helpful information , being so generous with your time. Praying for you!❤
So happy to see this. I was on synthroid for 35 years and honestly didn’t realize how bad I still felt until I went through menopause. The dr never adjusted my med and I started to have hyper symptoms. Still felt bad during med adjustment until finally took myself off the med completely during Covid. I have no confidence in drs. It’s been 4 years and I actually feel a bit better. I might look into Paloma. Praying for you💜
Your story is reminding me of my own health problems from long term low carb diet. Blew out my adrenals. The most UNBELIEVABLE anxiety (panic) daily. Heart palps, horrible low blood sugar on and off all day long… super low cortisol, super low progesterone, sleep SUPER elusive. I hope you find out everything!
Stay strong believe in yourself. I too had graves on the beginning , 2 hits of radioactive iodine came crashing down. One day I could not stand up. I had two toddlers when my husband came home from work he stated we are going to the hospital. I crashed and became hypothyroid. Had to see my endocrinologist. He adjusted my dosage. I was fine for about 35 years. Now I am in my seventies and for the past two years my TSH bounces around. It talked a long time as you state to become stable. I live in Florida you know the summer heat is brutal yet I have to go to bed with two pairs of socks and an electric blanket. The fatigue is horrible. Have lost most of my hair. Thank God for your help I have no problems with wearing wigs. To get an appointment with an endocrinologist will be the first week of December. I have taken it. I am coming in with a lot of research and seminars. I have a list of tests I desire most of all is the receptors on my cells able to absorb the levothyroxine. I will keep you posted. God has given me a good life and I want to savor it to the end. 😊
So good to see your face and now know why we haven't seen or heard from you. I totally agree I'm 75 and there has been a huge change in medical care in this country, less interest in most doctors we see and very expensive. Let alone if there's one to see. Most are Nurse Practitioners. I never heard of Paloma Health before and I thank you for the information you've given us. You do have many of us who will be praying for you, always take care of yourself first as this helps to care for others. 💛
Hi Denise, thank you so much for sharing. You’ve been so helpful in my wig wearing journey and you have truly blessed me. I’m sad to hear that you’ve been feeling ill. You will be in my prayers. You are my sister in Christ and I will pray for you that way.
On a sidenote, I totally agree with you about the medical system. Doctors in general you get no answers and you get pushed away and it’s terrible. I used to work in that field so I’ve seen it up close in person and now as a woman in need I see it as a patient . I think women just get pushed aside because of preconceived opinions. Perhaps not always, but certainly a good part of the time.
God bless you and your family and I will pray for your husband‘s job also ❤🙏🏻
I’m so sorry you going through this. I pray God heals you. I can definitely relate to what you’re going through. You’re so right it’s very hard sometimes to get a dr to take us seriously when we are sick. I was sick many years ago and couldn’t get out of bed and had a dr tell me it was nerves another just didn’t know what it was so he did nothing. I finally got a diagnosis. I was already in late stages of Lyme disease. Now many years later I’m paying for it with many health issues. I am going through it again now with drs with my health. I feel for you what you are going through. It’s not easy. I pray you start feeling better soon. Also THANK YOU SO MUCH for your videos. They are such a huge help to all of us. Please take care of yourself and get well soon. We all appreciate you and what you do.
Hashimoto's girl here. I had the same symptoms and ended up in the ER. Told the Dr that I was having a thyroid storm and he kind of chuckled. Your not having a thyroid storm he said. Heart rate all over the place. Blood pressure high. I had the shakes. They gave me a lorazapam drip and let me go still with symptoms. Went to my GP and he ran tests. Called me immediately and said my numbers were way too low. Adjusted my dose. Took a while, but I'm fine now. In time you'll be fine but never stop advocating for yourself.
Hello Shalom Sweet Denise, So sorry you not feelin well, feel to share this with you-
"I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life"
I Know you understand❤
Hey Hashimotos sister. Omg, this disorder has made my life unbearable at times. I empathize with the extreme anxiety and other issues. I’ve suffered for at least 20 yrs. Keto was a good decision but maybe Carnivore may be better. I can’t afford either of those anymore but I am hopeful I can resume when/if the economic crisis improves. I do supplement with Iodine and desiccated Bovine Thyroid. I too have felt like garbage for the last year and gained some weight back. It’s truly a vicious cycle. It’s like being stuck on a hamster wheel that you can’t stop. I don’t have friends but I’m sure you do and try to let them help you. You need extra help and moral support. I do know in hindsight the Lord will have been there for ya.
Sometimes when we’re in crisis we can’t see it.
🙏❤️ Sending you love sister!!!
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles. I also wear wigs, hypo thyroid, have anxiety issues, 71 yrs old. We want to look the best we can but it’s exhausting wearing wigs, makeup and health issues. You are a great inspiration to so many. May God bless you and your family.❤
Sending you huge hugs!! Thank you so much for taking time to comment.... one thing about making videos... it's tough to do when you aren't feeling well... that's for sure. It is one thing to sit at a desk with a desk job, especially from home when you can wear no makeup, not showered, in pjs... that doesn't work so well here, lol. I pray you are having a great week!
@@heywigsister Have you ever taken a Ferritin Iron test? You might want to with your diabetes & arthritis issue. You could have high iron which can be Hemechromatisis (a gentic issue where you store to much iron). Look into Hemechromatosis and also hAemechromatosis (the way they spell it in Europe).
If your ancestors are from Northern Europe including Ireland, UK, Scottland, Wales, Sweden, Norway, Northern German, Ukraine etc there is a very very high population around the world that had Hemechromatosis (which causes iron overload) with out knowing. Some of the symptoms are fatigue, arthritis, heart issues, liver issues, etc etc (longer list). Iron overload is DEADLY.
You could also be deficient in Magnesium (see ch Dr Berg's vd on this), potassium (see dr bergs vds on this) heart palputations are a sign of deficiency in one or both also you could be , iron deficient.
Tell your doc you want vitamin & mineral deficiency panel including magnesium, potassium, FERRITIN (Make sure it's this test see vds on why) etc.
take care
Yes! I feel this. I fought breast cancer three years ago. Thought I was going through depression turns out one of my meds was the culprit but the doc would never listen to me. I took my treatment into my own hands and feel like my old self! Will pray for you daily!
Denise I’m so sorry that you have been feeling so bad and thank you for your kindness and caring in all your videos. I’m a 74yr old retired nurse who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2012. Not until I was retired and had some health issues did I realize how cold and patronizing the medical profession can be. I’m so sorry you have experienced this as well. I am currently feeling well but don’t know why, just lucky I guess. Don’t give up and take good care of yourself. ❤❤
This popped up for me, so I watched it out of curiosity. I'm so sorry for the symptoms you're experiencing and will be sure to pray for you. Like you, I'm also jaded about doctors. I'm elderly and can remember when health care was far, far better than it is today. 😢
I'm wondering if you've followed Mikhaila Peterson's health journey. If not, you really should check it out. She had some extremely serious challenges with RA since she was a little girl. She's found an answer for that and many other health issues. Now her entire family has incorporated her lifestyle and found good health as well. Look into it. 👍🏾
P.S. Your skin is gorgeous! What a blessing!
Thanks for sharing with us. I suffer from Hypo. I wasn't are you could have Graves when you also have Hashimotos. That's very valuable information. I pray you feel better. It's such a struggle. I had to spend most of Saturday in bed. The fatigue is so overwhelming. I also have RA. And 9 autoimmune diseases so life is a daily struggle. We just need to support each other by ones that understand our struggles. ❤
Fellow Graves survivor here. I’ve been in remission since 2019 but it takes so little to come back. I’m in the UK so it’s very hard to be seen and heard. I struggle to get my levels tested since I was discharged by the Endo. Sending positive thoughts - you’ve been so helpful for me when it comes to hair choices - thank you and I’m sure you’ll be feeling wonderful again soon. In the meantime - take care of you!!! X
Hi Denise! I am 57 and have struggled with hypothyroidism with Hashimotos. I know how difficult it is to find a provider to properly treat you. I finally found one that also offers tele-health visits. What a difference! I'm glad you're starting to feel better. I'm pretty sure my meds will be adjusted on my next set of labs because I'm starting to feel symptoms again. God bless
Along with so many others in the comments, I struggle with many of the same diagnoses. Advocate for your health. Educate yourself on all of it. Don’t tolerate a poor physician. These are my best tips for navigating the road ahead. I wish you all the best. You’re in my thoughts and prayers
Denise, you’re amazing. I’m so glad you found out what’s behind this health challenge…add me to the list of those lifting you in prayer. Thank you for being such a light 💕🙏🏻
I thought my feed wasn’t loading correctly because I always love watching you and you are always such a breath of fresh air. I struggle with thyroid problems and they are difficult either way whether you are hypo or hyper because the hypo can make you cold and very depressed and not want to move and the hyper can make you sweaty and gives you heart palpitations, and I’ve experience both when I’ve been on thyroid medication. I cannot even tolerate any type of thyroid medication to help regulate my hypothyroidism/Hashimotos so I am struggling right now and I was sitting here thinking how bad I felt and how many things I have to do today that need to be done but I have no energy to do. It is such a struggle and it’s so scary because I am divorced for many years and disabled from multiple spinal surgeries and my son who is 32 has been disabled since he was 14 and he is very sick right now. We can barely afford to make it so I know that type of anxiety too. Thank you for sharing and letting us know that you are ok and we are not alone in the way we feel and I hope that you get to feeling better and can get everything situated in your life because you are a much needed and wanted woman in the Wig community and I don’t know you personally, but I believe you are a beautiful person inside and out! Prayers for you🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
I'm sorry you have this illness. I too suffer from an illness that is not common for 22yrs. Most doctors never see a patient with my illness. They only read it in text books. I know the feeling & frustration you have gone through. I am glad you now know why you have been feeling so sick. I hope you start to get better real soon. Lots of hugs & prayers!!
Denise, you are wonderful, beautiful and thank you for sharing all you have been going through, helping others who might suffer too. Get well soon, we pray for you 🙏
I am SO GLAD I found you :) :) I have been recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and well, you know the struggle....
I am not only a Wig Sister but a Hashimoto’s Sister. I have been through the struggle and yes there is light at the end. You have held so many of us Wig Sisters up like myself when we were feeling at our lowest with no self confidence, no hope, and no self love. Please know so many of us right now and always will be holding you up when you feel like you can no longer stand through our love, thoughts and prayers. You have been such a blessing to so many. I have had hair loss since I was 10 years old. You helped me find my confidence in June of this year at 55 when I saw you being your authentic, raw self and I realized I wasn’t alone with hair loss. I thank you! I’m praying for your healing and that God will take care of each of your concerns you talked about.❤
Oh Denise, I’m so sorry that you’re struggling. I can empathize with how you’re feeling. I’m currently undergoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy for stage 3 breast cancer and the immunotherapy has really kicked me down. Like you, I’m experiencing a racing heart and get short of breath even when trying to accomplish the simplest of tasks. It’s frustrating, so fatiguing, and, at times, scary. I hope that you can get your levels regulated so that you’re feeling better, soon. Sending love and healing your way. ❤
Thanks for your honesty, and I send all my best in getting back to feeling good. It is a world in medicine now where you have to watch out for yourself. Hugs and prayers. And for your husband's job as well. These are tough time for many. Take care,
Would you keep a mechanic that kept miss diagnosing car issues? No we don’t , never feel bad about finding a new doctor that listens and helps.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. My best friend has Hashimoto's disease. She's not getting the medical care that is helping her. Am going to share this with her.
My prayers are for you and your family. You have been a blessing in my and others lives. Please keep us updated.❤❤❤
I've been suffering from Hashimoto's since 2015 diagnosis...and diets and meds have helped but it goes back and forth all the time and it's exhausting. I followed you because you're so unapologetically wig positive that it was inspired me to wear wigs at work and about the day and feel confident. Thank you for everything you do.
How Kind & Giving of you to Share this, Know I'm praying for you. God Bless you Dear. Sending Love & Hugs Galore. 😙😙💕💞💕💞
Adding you to my prayers sweet Denice. Had no idea of this mountain of medical situations with which you are dealing.
Let me take time to thank you for the help to me your wig and hair loss videos have provided.
God bless you as He helps heal each condition that Paloma is treating. We love you.🥰🙏
Oh Denise, I missed this video. I really hope you are feeling better!! ❤
Hi As I watched your video I was sending you Reiki, hopefully it won't make you feel hotter! You are so correct about docs not listening or being rigid in their diagnosis. I didn't discover I had narcolepsy until I was 40 years old and now I think I have had it all my life. Because I am a Type A and stubborn I covered it up for years, until I couldn't any longer. Then I found out a week later I had a severe case of fibromyalgia (this was before it was a commonly known condition) and that doc told me there was nothing to be done - that I just had to live with it. This is when Reiki entered my life and has helped me cope for so many years. Years later found I have Hypothyroidism and lately feel something is "off" because my energy levels are even lower than normal. Thanks for the information - you have no idea how many lives you touch. God has given you so many challenges and you have still reached out to help others. We all thank you. Nona
❤ hugs to you!!! You are my favorite person to watch on RUclips. What a grand seller you are and help SOOO many people
So ❤ ❤❤ loving and helpful. I hope you feel better soon!
I'm so proud of u working so hard to find out what's been weighing on u & got to the bottom of it. I'm continuing to send u love💖light💥& healing🙏🏻
Hi Denise, I’m so sorry for your health issues and pray you get the proper treatment to correct your issues. Our healthcare system is concerning….seems like most doctors are so overwhelmed with their number of patients. I will continue to pray for your peace of mind and that you get the answers you need! You give so much to this community and I thank you for sharing so we can give back to you! ❤
Thanks for sharing this! I’ve been through much of the same. Developed HORRIBLE panic attacks at 29 and really became agoraphobic as I was afraid Togo anywhere with my 3 small babies! I got straightened out after many years with an endocrinologist and a psychiatrist specializing in panic disorder. Such a road full of hills and valleys…. We are pretty confident my anxiety problems stemmed from my Graves Disease. I am 66 now and basically ok…just tired a lot. Will be praying for you! 😊

Blessings on your journey into HEALTH. Psalm 32:8
I am so sorry you are going through this. I had a similar experience, but fortunately, I have a Family Nurse Practitioner who listens, takes me seriously and has helped me tremendously! I will be praying for you! I found that the constant anxiety was the worst symptom. Yes, knowledge is power. In the current state of our health care system, you must be your own advocate! Hope you are free from your symptoms very soon! God bless you!
Paloma is wonderful, I enjoy working with them. In fact I like to compare my results with my primary doctor orders results. I find I feel better when I take the Daily Thyroid Care supplements regularly. I had to start my antidepressant again (Lexapro) a very small dose, half of the lowest dose takes my anxiety and panic attacks away. I used to experience the palpations, sweating and dizziness early on. My dose used to change often. Wishing you the best in this journey to well-being
@@lisakellett3366 Low dose Lexapro has been very calming for me too. Stopped the high anxiety and panic attacks.
Prayed for you, Denise! I do understand the overwhelming non-stop sweating. I know I've mentioned it to you before. My family doesn't get that I cannot be outdoors in the hot summer because it's much worse. I don't even have to go outside to sweat. Not sure if mine is due to my Hypothyroidism though. I believe mine is the CIDP and nerve-related because my hands and feet get so hot, burning like they're on fire, then I start sweating all over. It's so miserable.
I also understand the heart and anxiety issues. I suffer with SVT (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia). I had one episode that woke me and went non-stop until 5 in the afternoon. My blood pressure was extremely high. I know I should have gone to the ER, but I've had so many of those and always think they'll pass. Then I had the episode last year that scared me so badly and I had to go...my mouth was numb on one side and I couldn't walk or use my hands! I was in the hospital for a week. We really have to listen to our bodies.
I'm so glad you're getting some answers. I just hope you feel better soon! Take good care! I love you dearly! ❤️ 🙏 ❤️
Denise, I’m so happy you now have clarity about what’s at the root of your health issues! So sorry you’ve been dealing with all of it, and praying for a speedy recovery! ❤️🩹.
That happened to me. They said I was having a nervous breakdown. I was sick for a year. My doctor finally ordered a scan and it came back showing several small tumors on my thyroid. I had a pre cancer and had my thyroid removed. All my symptoms disappeared. I was so angry. Hoping you will soon feel better.
Get well soon Denise. I have Hashimotos and Polymyalgia Rheumatica so am dealing with similar. Don't think we have Paloma in the UK but I shall investigate. Thanks for the tip and all your amazing videos.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. You may feel bad but you look so beautiful and from watching so many of your video's and journey you are on the inside as well which is where it counts. I have family with Thyroid issues, and recently got myself trapped in the medical circus with autoimmune and now heart, which I believe could be thyroid. I will be buying a test kit for myself and take things into my own hands. Thank you so much.
im praying for you Denise❤
I moved to a state that doesn’t use or recognize endocrinologists. I was shocked at how much my new gp didn’t know about treatments. Took 2 1/2 years to even see a gp. Hashimotos, massive weight loss, panic attacks…we have the same story. How nice of you to share. I will be calling Monday about the dose of my thyroid med in relation to my weight. I put the weight on by going a couple of years with unidentified hashimotos. Thyroid really regulates our entire well being. ❤️
"Thyroid really regulates our entire well being." It SURE does! I'm amazed at the number of UNEDUCATED doctors 'practicing' medicine 🤦♀
Im so sorry to hear this. It must be very difficult for you. You are a wonderful person, and you've really helped me with your videos, thank you. I hope you feel better soon. Lots of love ❤️ xxxx
I've found that going to the doctor can be very stressful in this day & age on so many levels. TFS your story. Glad l found your channel❣️ ✌️
Your openess and honesty is helping so many people. God bless you.
I totally have sympathy with you, my daughter has Graves deasese and has just had her thyroid removed, subsequently really bad problems with her calcium levels. 🙏🙏
Hey Denise, I’m adding you to my list of daily prayers. Will pray for you daily my friend. I feel like you’re my friend I come to your post to see your wig videos a lot! Keep your focus on God your a sweet soul. Economy is so hard during the Biden-Harris administration. It’s hard to pay bills and buy groceries for most of us. I’m here because menopause took my hair and eyebrows when it was through with me. I enjoy your post and love how you turn around and show us the backs of a wig and take it outside to see true colors. So many won’t turn and show the back and they show colors in dark rooms where every color looks grey and black. Thanks for all you do. You take care of yourself now if you need to take some time to rest, well friend we are not going anywhere. We will be right here when you get back🤗
Hi Denise, it's good to hear from you. You're right, I have been wondering where you were. I'm sorry your not feeling well, maybe now you will start to feel better. I will pray for the doctors that are treating you, and for yourself of course. God's speed, Debbie.
God bless you, sweet lady. I’m happy to hear that you finally have answers as to why you have been feeling terrible. Just having answers can go a long way in reducing stress.
I am keeping you and your family in my prayers 🙏🏼
The counter says it’s been about 2 months since you made this video and I pray you have been able to get your levels where you need them to be. ❤
This was so very helpful. I want to pursue Paloma. ❤🎉
❤ can relate Denise! I am also going through similar. My levels are all over the place. Been dealing with Thyroid for 26 years now. Not until last few years has it become a real challenge and in January it was extremely Hypo again. Treated and now Hyper so working on meds balance. Love and prayers to you.
Praying for you sweet sister. I have gone through all of this as well, so totally get where you are coming from. I am blessed to have doctors who do listen to me and are willing to let me go against the medical grain when I want to try 'natural' remedies. My cholesterol was totally out of whack and my dr wanted me to take statins. I knew my thyroid could be causing this so I started taking natural things to get my cholesterol back down. It not only worked, but also is helping to bring my thyroid back to where it should be! I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I probably won't meet you here on earth, but one day... when we get to heaven, I hope I'll meet you in person.
Dear Denise,
I’m a new subscriber, so had no idea what you are enduring… I’m glad you found a doctor who listens and works with you! My prayers for your health and your husband’s work situation. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Get well Denise - I am sorry you are experiencing these issues. But glad you are getting the help you need. Take care and always put yourself first! Hugs.
Sending continued healing prayers Denise! I gave up on the medical comunity completely over 5 years ago finally! I have so many things going on besides a botched back surgery! I pray you feel better soon!❤❤
Same process I went through - fast heartbeat to hyperthyroid to horrible anxiety then into pre-menopause. I would be happy then cry for no reason - then had a hysterectomy and immediately after I felt normal after so many years.. No more anxiety and panic attacks. I think there is a direct connection with thyroid and menopause. What I can say as I have helped many women friends - this does end - you will feel like a kid again - the anxiety will go away - I believe when you finish menopause will be the key. When no longer periods you will feell normal. Yes, we all unique and you have found great medical help. Bless you. Thyroid I take two levothyroid 100MCG and liothyronine 5MCG.(my thyroid was over active - heart racing - and in those days they radiated (killed) the thyroid gland) so that placed me in low thyroid just the opposite. The high thyroid part of the horrific anxiety attacks combined with hormones of going through menopause. Hope this helps. We are not crazy - this will pass!
Awe Denise, praying for you and hoping it won’t be long before you are feeling better! Love you 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Hi Denise. I am so sorry to hear you have been going through this health issue. I have prayed for restoration of your health and releif from your symptoms. I also prayed for your husband's job. God bless you and your family sweet lady!❤
Thanks for sharing Denise. I’m glad you’ve found some answers. My sister was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and I will pass along the information.
🙏♥️🙏 thank you for sharing this information. I’m going to have my daughter who is in her 40s now and still struggling with correct diagnosis.
I’ll remember you in my prayers daily. God bless you and yours.
God Bless You, Denise! I've watched your videos countless times, and have ultimate faith in you and everything you share! I'm sending you my heartfelt prayers that your symptoms will start to ease, and that you can bounce back to your awesome, beautiful self very, very soon! You are such an inspiration!!
Greetings Denise! I'm so sorry that you are suffering with all these thyroid issues. I could tell that you weren't feeling well, but of course, I didn't know what was going on. You are in my heart and in my prayers 💖🙏 Please do keep me posted. Love you sister!!♥️
Hi Denise. I pray you get symptom relief. I've recently been on a first-time wig journey, researching, and found your tutorials most helpful. Thank you!
I also viewed your 2023 keto video. Are you still following your keto plan in light of your recent health issues?
You are such a strong caring person.. thanks for sharing and I hope you feel better soon.❤️
Just sending you some love, positive vibes , and prayers.
Hi Denise I was just recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year I was so sick for months and my symptoms got so bad I had to go to the hospital I was admitted to the hospital for three weeks after so much testing I was told I was hypothyroidism the endocrinologist told me I was very lucky I went to the hospital when I did. It’s a struggle and the doctors are still trying to manage my meds. Eat healthy be active stay positive Best wishes love and Godbless ❤️
So glad you’ve found out what was happening & you’re getting the help you need to get better. I’ve had so many bad experiences with doctors that I won’t see one unless it’s an emergency.
Praying for your health to improve.
Thanks for sharing. Pray that you will be healthy again soon. 🙏🏻. I would love the link to your weight loss journey 😄
I love your channel and so grateful for all the wig videos….this new video has struck a chord with, I too have the heart and sweating symptoms, however, I haven’t lost any weight , but I have zero energy . I’ve just found that company in the UK and will be contacting them . Our doctor give you 6 minutes 🤷♀️🤷♀️ hardly time to explain one’s symptoms. Thank you sweetie for sharing this it means such a lot 🩷❤️🩷❤️🩷
Hi Denise! I was in a Thyroid Storm when I found out I had a Hyper Thyroid Disease two years ago! I was breathless, my heart was beating fast, and I was feeling hot and cold, had terrible GI problems, which gave me a great deal of anxiety! I also lost weight and looked horrible! I have Graves Disease. Thankfully my Doctor put me on Methimazole, the medication has helped over the last two years. I hope you are able to get your Thyroid under control and will feel better soon! Thank you for all your wig reviews! I suffer from Alopecia and have been wearing wigs for several years now, all your help in making the wigs, feel more like they look like "BIO" hair have helped me so very much! Hugs, Kim

Glad you find the answers! Women are so over looked when it comes to our health, especially entering/menopause! I had same symptoms. For me, it was getting on HRT. There’s SO much misinformation. I found a great telehealth women’s doc. I couldn’t get an in office visit for 3 months. I am back on track! Glad you are too. I love your wig videos. Menopause was not kind to my hair. Well, wigs and you helped me so much! God bless you. Health is everything!
Dearest D - thank you so much for sharing so we can support you & learn. The discount on the testing is a blessing as we are in the same situation with health insurance. Women helping each other is how we’re gonna get through this! 💪 Gratitude & prayers!🤗✌️
So so sorry for all your struggles Denise. I truly hope that your new med adjustment helps you! I’m thinking if you and sending lots of prayers your way! 💕🙏🙏💕
Love you dear friend! Always here to pray for you!!! Thanks for all you do!!!
🙏 for continued improvement with your health. It’s simply amazing how a thyroid can affect your life. I also suffer from hypothyroidism. Weight fluctuations can really play havoc with it.
I’m praying for you “sister”. I believe in prayer and Gods healing hand as well as comfort. Love you much! ❤
I believe, too! Thank you so much, sending hugs!!
I’m very glad that you finally have some relief, Denise. I truly believe in the power of prayer and I trust that the Lord’s hand was in this discovery.
I can strongly relate to what you went through back when I was first diagnosed with the same, 20 years ago. My Endo was trying to adjust my medications, but in the process, it caused my thyroid to go from hypo to hyper. That was extremely frightening because I had bad anxiety back then due to life circumstances at that time.
I’m so glad you are feeling better and continued prayers that you will continue to improve. 🙏
God bless! 💕
Denise, I am so sorry you are going through this with your health and doctors. You look as bright and beautiful as ever, so it certainly does not show on the outside. You are a beauty inside and out. Praying for your health, and your husband's job situation. Sometimes it is the piling up that makes everything so much worse. ❤🙏Sending you love and prayer.
Hi Denise, I am so sorry you are going through this. You don't deserve this, and none of you beautiful people here deserve this. Prayers, love, and hugs to you and the community. God Bless You. ❤
