Love And Rheumatoid Arthritis

This story is true

This story is absolutely true. Annie is one of my best friends. I have known her since she was 20 years old. We met when her then boyfriend brought Annie over to my apartment for dinner. She was a shy and a quiet woman, but I have a way of bringing people out of their shells. Soon we were chatting, and found out that I had worked with Annie’s mom years before at a clothing store. It was funny to remember that her mom, a single mom, always complained about her 4 children who were driving her crazy. Now, here I was face to face with one of her children. Small world.

Annie broke up with that boyfirend she was with that night, and I too went through a few boyfriends as the years went by until I met my husband. Annie and I stayed friends through all our romances, financial woes, and jobs. I even reacquainted myself with Annie’s mother, Mary Ann. By now, she and Annie and her other 3 children, now adults, were all getting along. Mary Ann had remarried for the 3rd time, and Annie liked her new stepfather. All was going well until Annie met Charlie.

Annie meets Charlie

Annie was tending bar at a local pub and going to college when Charlie sat in a stool in front of her. Charlie was about 10 years older, married with 2 children, and a well-established contractor in the area. He flirted and swept Annie off her feet. He told her that he was separated from his wife and had rented a small apartment in town. It wasn’t long before Charlie asked Annie to move in with him.

If you are wondering what this has to do with rheumatoid arthritis this story takes a dramatic turn soon, sadly.

Happy times

Annie was the happiest I had ever seen her, and juggling her college classes and bartending job, well. Plus her new romance was blossoming. One day, Annie called me to tell me that she had a sore throat and fever. “Go to the doctor,” I said.

The sore throat and fever went on for a few days, and Annie was calling off work and missing classes. Charlie was coming home and bringing her soup and magazines to keep her occupied. She finally broke down and went to the local health clinic where she found out she had strep throat. An antibiotic was prescribed, and after a few days Annie was feeling much better again. Soon Annie was going back to classes and working her shifts at the pub. But then a mysterious new health issue happened. Annie told me that the bottom of her feet hurt when she walked on them. “Hmmmm,” I said. “I never heard of that.”

The next week, her finger and hands started aching. The pain was becoming so bad that she was taking ibuprofen several times a day. More joints were beginning to ache, and then she had wide spread pain throughout her body. It became so unbearable that she went to the doctor’s again. This time they ran some blood tests and found out that her Rheumatoid Factor and SED rate was high. Therefore Annie was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Annie was confused. After all, wasn’t this an old person’s disease? She was just 27 years old.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Her doctor sent her to a rheumatologist about an hour away (we lived in a small town), and he looked at her lab tests at her appointment, did a thorough physical examination, and then broke the dismal news that Annie’s future was grim. “You’ll eventually end up in a wheelchair,” he told her.

Annie was shocked. She was almost finished with college, and was in love with Charlie. She had just met his children the weekend before.

He gave her a prescription for methotrexate and told her to make an appointment at the front desk for next month. Annie slowly got up. Her joints were so stiff and the ibuprofen she took that morning was wearing off. Her head was spinning as she walked through the waiting room on the way out when she tripped on a chair leg and landed hard on the floor.

METHOTREXATE is a chemotherapy drug used to treat cancer including leukemia. This medicine can also be used to treat certain kinds of arthritis.

Waiting patients ran over to her to help her up. Now embarrassed she accepted the helping hands, got up, and limped through the office door to outside where she burst into tears. After a few minutes she composed herself and sat in her car and made a vow. I WILL BEAT THIS!

Love and heartbreak

I lived just a couple of blocks from Annie’s apartment that she shared with Charlie, so she dropped in regularly. Annie told me a week after the rheumatologist’s appointment, Charlie had gone away for a weekend trip to a hunting camp with the guys, which seemed harmless. Annie had started the methotrexate and was still taking ibuprofen to control the pain. Her fingers were already crooked from the disease, and she hobbled now instead of her normal smooth stride. We talked about the coincident that she just had gotten over strep throat when she came down with the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. We wondered if the strep had triggered her RA.

What is RA? It is an autoimmune disease. If you have been following my blog, you know that I too have an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. My autoimmune disease attacks my thyroid. Annie’s attacks her joints.

Charlie came back from his weekend with the guys, and Annie confided in me that something was different about the way Charlie was acting. He wasn’t as affectionate as he used to be, and he was going out at nights with the boys instead of staying home with Annie. She was worried. She not only was facing a debilitating disease, trying to keep her job and her studies; she now felt that Charlie’s support was slipping away just when she needed it most.

Weeks went by, and Charlie spent less and less time with Annie. He snapped at her when she questioned where he was spending his time or who was he with. Rumors started spreading around that Charlie was seeing another woman, and someone told Annie that a woman was showing up daily at Charlie’s construction site to have lunch with him. That was the last straw for Annie. Right when she needed Charlie the most, he was slipping away. Annie decided to give Charlie an ultimatum. “Either you stay with me in the evenings, or I’m moving out!”
“Goodbye,” said Charlie.

Annie decided to call his bluff and move in with her older sister, believing that he would miss her so much he would beg her to come back. After all, they had shared so many tender moments together, and he had told her that he loved her many times. Annie tried to go on with her normal life as much as she could. She didn’t have an appetite, and was losing a lot of weight. Money was always tight and now that she was calling off work so much, money was even tighter. The only thing she could eat was oatmeal. She ate it for breakfast and again for dinner. Just oatmeal plain with nothing on it. At night, she would soak in a hot tub trying to soothe her aching joints, and then she would cry quietly in bed so her sister wouldn’t hear her.

Panic time

Annie started to grow more concerned. Her plan of moving out was backfiring. Charlie didn’t come to her sister’s door with flowers in his hands begging Annie to come back. In fact, he never even bothered to call her to see how she was. Annie started to panic. Was she going to lose Charlie forever?

She was in a very vulnerable place in her mind. She had a chronic disease, could barely work, and was no longer going to classes. She was just too ill. When she was diagnosed, she found comfort knowing that she had Charlie to lean on for moral support and financial. Now both were being taken away from her.

She began to stalk Charlie. Knowing his favorite haunts, she would ride through the parking lots looking for him. I could go into more details here, and it got a lot worse and includes death, suicide, a clown named Pippy, more betrayal, but that is in the book coming out soon called, Annie. If you are interested in receiving an email when it is available on Amazon, please sign up  below. Unfortunately for Annie, this is a true story. Annie’s name has been changed to protect her identity.

The worse of times then the best

I saw Annie at her worse and now I see her at her best. She beat RA! How did she do it? The same way I kicked Hashimoto’s to the curb. The medical community call it remission so okay, we’ll call it that, but Annie and I have little to no more symptoms. From Annie having a hard time walking and in constant pain, to now she is pain free, working at a fantastic job, married, and living in a beautiful home that she and her husband built, is amazing. Annie’s health improved by her own research, which she is good at, and clean eating. She first eliminated the oatmeal that she thinks was adding fuel to her RA. She switched to a diet of organic fruits and vegetables, grass fed meats, and chicken with no antibiotics. She also gave up sugar, alcohol, and gluten. Just like I have. We like to compare notes.

Annie and I now live many states apart,  but I still visit her when I am in town. We shared a gluten-free beer that I told her upset my stomach, and she said she didn’t like the taste. It was just another experiment.

Annie is no longer on any medication much to the surprise of her doctor. He shakes his head and says, “I don’t know how you did it?” But we know, it’s all about what you put in your mouth.
Personal Care

Sadly, we had a mutual friend who also had RA, and the last time I saw her she was using a claw-foot cane to get around. She also had a zip lock gallon sized bag full of prescription. Annie had an “intervention” with her and shared how she healed herself. It was too late. The woman passed away six months later.

Here is a video on how to cure rheumatoid arthritis with clean eating. https://youtu.be/F5eJl6Ist9A

Note: Annie’s diet is full of vegetables, fruit, small portions of meat. She will not eat sugary treats no matter how many times I have tempted her. There are a lot of farmer’s markets with homemade goodies like gluten-free peanut butter cookies but full of sugar. I was surprised to see that she eats a lot of dairy and cheese, because I thought this was off the diet. After I started the keto diet, I now eat dairy products, too, without any ill effects.

I would also like to add, that Annie looks great. Some of her fingers are permanently crooked, but that’s okay. She is tall, slim and her skin glows. Annie has proven herself proficient enough at her job as a cancer register specialist that she is allowed to work at home 4 days a week, and goes into the office on Friday. It’s so wonderful to see how far she has come since the “Charlie” days, and amazing to see how healthy she is now. There is hope for everyone suffering from an autoimmune disease. Annie is the proof.

You Are Not Crazy…It’s Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis by Terry Ryan

You are not crazy

I have Hashimoto’s thyroditis




Been there and will always be there. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. It is an autoimmune disease. Plain and simple. AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE!  An autoimmune disease is a syndrome where the body senses an invader and goes on immune attack. In my case, it attacked my thyroid. My autoimmune disease is named after the doctor who discovered the disease. Hashimoto’s is diagnosed by a high TSH (thyroid thyroid-stimulating) lab test and high TPO, thyroid peroxidase . Hence, I am hypothyroid. My thyroid is not producing enough of the thyroid hormone, T4. When that happened, I felt extremely fatigued, suffered with hair loss, aches and pains, DEPRESSION, just to name a few. And what do your doctors, friends and family think after your complaints about symptoms month after month and year after year? That you are crazy. You are not crazy…it’s Hashimoto’s!

It takes years to develop

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis disease. This happened slowly. My symptoms started showing up one by one. First, I noticed my energy reducing, I started dragging myself through the day. I went to the doctor. He ran lab tests, but everything looked “fine” including my TSH. If it is high…usually over 3, it means you are hypothyroid. The TSH lab test is the standard test that endocrinologists use to determine if you are either hyperthyroid (too much thyroid hormone) or hypothyroid (not enough thyroid).  Sort of goes against reasoning. If you have a high TSH reading, this means you are HYPO (I have been as high as), and if you have a zero reading, it means you have too much thyroid hormone and you are HYPER. Why is this?

How it works

The pituitary gland itself is regulated by another gland, known as the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is part of the brain and produces TSH Releasing Hormone (TRH) which tells the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid gland (release TSH). The pituitary gland located in the back of your head regulates when the body needs thyroid hormone. When it needs more, it sends a message out to the thyroid that it needs more hormone. When this happens, your TSH goes up, When there is too much hormone, it will do the opposite. By the way, in the beginning I swung back and forth between hyper to hypo. I miss the hyperthyroid times when I had more energy and could lose weight easily. This happens as my thyroid gland was sputtering to a dead stop at producing hormones.

What happened next to me? I said this happened slowly; my decline in health did not happen overnight. It wasn’t one day I woke up and I had all the Hashimoto’s symptoms. No, it crept up on me like a monster stealing my life force. Horrible and insidious.

I lost count of the doctor visits where I plead my case of I DON’T FEEL WELL, only to be dismissed as, I would guess. a hypochondriac, or a overworked and stress out middle-aged woman.

As the days, months and years went on, I felt worse and worse until I was not able to do normal activities, and I even became antisocial. Sound familiar? You are not crazy…it’s Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

Here are some symptoms associated with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis:

  • Anxiety
  • Panic attacks
  • Weight gain
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Dry skin
  • Headaches
  • Sore throat
  • Muscle aches and pains
  • Temperature sensitivity
  • Hair loss

The lost years…

I suffered for many years. I call them the lost years. No doctors helped me. They didn’t have the knowledge or if they couldn’t throw a pill at it, they didn’t know how to treat me. By the time I was diagnosed, my thyroid was a shriveled up gland with nodules. No worries, they weren’t  cancerous. I have a ultrasound every year and they are getting smaller.

Yes, I will be on thyroid prescription for the rest of my life and I have tried them all. My greatest results are with the prescription Tirosint. It is expensive but I switched years ago when I learned that Synthroid used gluten as a filler, and I am anti-gluten. Gluten is a no-no if you have an autoimmune disease.

The good news

The good news is that I no longer suffer with symptoms even though I still and always will have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. I have figured out how to put my Hashimoto’s into remission. Some people call it that, but all I know is that I now have energy and no pain. How did I achieve that? By taking a lot of junk out of my diet. Clean living and eating. My entire life changed…and for the better.

Now I exercise for 3 hours per day, and then come home and run errands, clean house, make dinner, blog, write, read and all the things that go into a normal day. And I am so happy. So happy. I have my life back.

I have written one book on Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and it has a lot of medical information, and maybe too much medical mumbo jumbo. A lot of people have purchased it on Amazon, which surprises me because I do very little promoting. Right now, I am in the process of writing another book which will be available soon.

If you want to be on my mailing list, I send out healthful tips, recipes and updates on when my books will be available, you can sign up here.

I want you to know, that having a normal life is possible when you have Hashimoto’s. I am the proof.

It’s More Than Your Thyroid

It’s more than your thyroid!

I read over and over again on Facebook, thyroid patients that go to their endocrinologist and beg for a complete blood work, and not just the standard TSH test. TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) to find out why they, the patient, is not responding to typical thyroid replace therapy. By not responding, I mean they are not feeling any better on thyroid replacement therapy (HRT).

41zpSKb8BKL._SX311_BO1,204,203,200_

Typical symptoms of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis:

  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Sore throat
  • Hair loss
  • Weight gain
  • Dry skin
  • Heat or cold intolerance

I tell people, it feels like I have strep throat all the time. To put it  mildly…Hashimoto’s SUCKS!

So what do patients do who have a doctor who won’t run a more extensive list of labs for you?  You can find another doctor, or pay for the tests yourself. Simple as that.I usually have my endocrinologist run complete labs once a year, (yes, I go in to his office armed with information). In between that I will have a TSH test done every 4 or 5 months just to see how I am doing.

Only approximately 10% of patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis will feel better on HRT alone. That is the disappointing truth. Why? Because it is, NUMBER ONE, an autoimmune disease!  What is an autoimmune disease?

512mWk3fh8L._SX311_BO1,204,203,200_

Autoimmune disease affects up to 50 million Americans, according to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA). An autoimmune disease develops when your immune system, which defends your body against disease, decides your healthy cells are foreign. As a result, your immune system attacks healthy cells. Depending on the type, an autoimmune disease can affect one or many different types of body tissue.

Are you sick and tiredss

There are over 80 autoimmune diseases that affect different areas of your body. For instance: Multiple Sclerosis (MS), causes damage to the myelin coating around the nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS) and to the nerve fibers themselves interferes with the transmission of nerve signals between the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the body.

IT MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE.

Http://www.slimhealthsexy.com

What is wrong with me?

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that has picked your innocent thyroid to attack. It attacks and attacks until the thyroid no longer produces the hormone needed for your body to run efficiently. Hence: you feel constantly tired and you crawl to your doctor for lab work. What is frustrating, is after years of complaining about being fatigued and your doctor prescribes a medicine like Synthroid, you still feel the fatigue but now you have other complaints such as weight gain, hair loss, foggy brain, etc. You doctor scratches  his head and declares that your TSH is now in the “normal” range SO IT MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE. Then he leads you out of the examination room.

Patients have burst into tears at this point. They have come to their doctor in hopes of regaining their once vital life back, and instead they are told it basically is in their heads because, after all, blood tests don’t lie. (SCREAM HERE!)

Okay, take a deep breath, There is hope. I have faced this hurdle head on, and innocently I have believed my learned doctor. Well my doctor, or I should say doctors, are obviously not doing the same in depth research that I have had to take on in an attempt to find out WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME? What I found out…it is Hashimoto’s. Screw the blood tests and the supposedly normal TSH. I have an autoimmune disease with a fancy name…HASHIMOTO’S THRYOIDITIS. (Dr. Haruku Hashimoto, in 1912, published a paper on lymphomatus goiter and when published in American papers, renamed Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.)

When I was first diagnosed 5 years ago, I had never heard of it. Yes, I knew what hypothyroidism was, but the autoimmune disease that was attacking my thyroid was new to me. What set the diagnose apart from just having hypothyroidism is the high antibodies showing up in my lab results.

Get Rid Of Your High Medical Bills & Heal Yourself Naturally Today! It’s Easier Than You Think With This Proven Diet & 70 + Top Autoimmune Paleo Diet Recipes

The presence of TPO antibodies in your blood suggests that the cause of thyroid disease is an autoimmune disorder, such as Hashimoto’s disease or Graves’ disease. In autoimmune disorders, your immune system makes antibodies that mistakenly attack normal tissue.

My endocrinologist preformed a ultrasound on my thyroid and he said it looked like a typical “beat-up” thyroid caused by Hashimoto’s. If I knew years ago what I know now, I could have stopped the progression of the demise of my thyroid. Now, it has gone past the point of no return and I am on a lifetime of hormone replacement therapy. Oh joy!

 

375x321_thyroidSo what do you do if your doctor says your TSH is in the normal range and that is all they can do? Pull up your big girl (or boy) panties and it is all up to you! Trust me on this one. I have SEARCHED for the magic pill. There is none. Hashimoto’s patients usually place too much importance on their prescription. It’s all about diet.

Your hormone replacement therapy is extremely important because your body needs thyroid, but it is not how you are going to feel better. It also is not how you are going to lose weight. (I’ve even tried going on the very low side of TSH numbers and didn’t lose a pound. The lower the number, the more thyroid you have in your system,)

What is going to help you is:

  • Eliminating gluten, sugar, fluoride, alcohol, junk food.
  • Using shampoos and moisturizers that have natural ingredients and no gluten.
  • Upping your intake of fresh and organic vegetables and fruit.
  • Either having food sensitivity blood tests done or try eliminating foods for a while to see how you feel then gradually adding them back into your diet.
  • Coffee is something that is not tolerated well by people with Hashimoto’s.
  • Taking D3, selenium, vitamin C, Zinc.

That’s a good start.

Feeling better will not happen overnight.

Sorry to deliver that news but no, this will not happen overnight. It probably will take a good 3 months before you really could resume activities that you could do before being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.

Below are some helpful links. Educating yourself about your disease is a great step toward recovery.

Lost 15 Pounds & No Sign Of Dry, Itchy Skin

“Duncan, I have found your ebook really good, easy to follow and it makes a lot of sense. It has given me a guide to follow, and I have learnt a lot about my condition that I never could have got from my doctor.

“The indications are that I am better. I have lost all of 7 kilos (15 pounds), and the dry itchy skin has all healed. My hands had been dry and cracked and getting infected for about 7 months, and there is not a sign of it now.”

Noticeable Improvement In Energy Levels After Just One Week!

“…I’ve never looked back since. I feel so much healthier, I’m not tired anymore, I’m eating better, don’t feel bloated or stressed. My skin is not dry. My joints don’t hurt as much. It’s surprising what you can do with the correct information explained to you right. I could never understand why I could not lose weight. I even spent 6 months at the gym, going everyday doing two hours each time and still could not lose the weight.

Now I’m on day 34 of the hypothyrodism solution, I’ve lost 8.5 kgs, dropped a couple of dress sizes, and now feel good, sleep better and have heaps of energy.

I’ve even come off my levothyrozine tablets!…”

“From the first week on [after trying The Hypothyroidism Solution], I have had a noticeable improvement in my energy levels and moods, and in five weeks I have lost 4 kilos (9 pounds).”

“Duncan has obviously studied his subject in great detail, and this–married with his clinical successes in healing people with debilitating –gives great value to the information outlined here in this Comprehensive Report.

“This is a mine of information. The beginning describes the functioning and malfunctioning of the thyroid so clearly that for the first time I understood what was going on. It helped me enormously.”

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN “THE HYPOTHYROIDISM SOLUTION”

How To Diagnose Your Condition & Find Your Root Cause (Chapters 1 – 4)

  • The 6 most common causes of hypothyroidism, plus a few more you should know about. (The first step back to health is figuring out what made you sick in the first place. Makes sense, doesn’t it?) p. 10-11
  • What to ask for in a blood test to determine whether you actually have hypothyroidism. (IMPORTANT: Many doctors will only test for a substance called “TSH”. But this doesn’t give the complete picture. There are two more critical hormone tests you need to ask for specifically. I’ll tell you which ones they are on p. 12.
  • A comprehensive table to help you interpret your test results. You’ll know for sure whether you have hypothyroidism, and how severe it is. (p. 13)
  • Four more critical blood tests your doctor doesn’t know about, but will determine exactly what is causing your hypothyroidism (so we can properly reverse it). (pp. 13-14)
  • How to determine if you have Hashimoto’s Disease—a type of hypothyroidism caused by an auto-immune dysfunction. (p. 14)
  • How to make sure your blood tests are as accurate as possible. (Yes—they can be inaccurate, which could lead to a misdiagnosis… In fact, it’s surprisingly common. But this checklist will make sure that doesn’t happen to you.) p. 15
  • Why “Western Medicine” masks the symptoms instead of treating the problem at its source. (Chapter 3)
  • Could free-radicals be to blame? Your computer? Certain “innocent” household items? Discover the truth about 11 surprising causes of hypothyroidism, which most people don’t have a clue about. (Chapter 4)

My Step-By-Step Process For Treating Your Problem At Its Source (Chapters 5 – 9)

  • The “Thyroid Support Squad”: 7 vitamins, 5 minerals, and 1 amino acid you should be taking on a daily basis. PLUS, how to get them naturally in the foods you eat. (Chapter 5)
  • Twelve natural herbs—with few to zero side effects—that help support the thyroid. Just look for them at your nearest health food store, or order them from one of the online dealers listed in the “Resources” section. (Chapter 5)
  • Why just being outside under the right conditions for a few minutes a day will help improve your thyroid function. (p. 75)
  • The “4 Phase Treatment Plan”. Chances are, Phase 1 is all you’ll need… but just in case, there are Phases 2, 3, & 4 to cover all the bases. It’s all detailed in Chapter 6.
  • How to eat your way back to health. What foods to eat—and which ones to avoid—to get your thyroid back on track. (Relax… chocolate is perfectly safe—even helpful!) Chapters 5 & 7
  • Easy, fun, and gentle ways to integrate exercise into your life. (Yes, a little exercise will do wonders for your overall health, including your thyroid. But it doesn’t have to be a chore, and it certainly shouldn’t be painful.) Chapter 8
  • Eight easy ways to reduce one of the most insidious causes of hypothyroidism. (This silent killer causes a whole host of problems… but I’ll show you how to manage it.) Chapter 9
  • A comprehensive list of resources – sources for purchasing the best herbs & supplements… online hormone testing, which will save you wads of cash… plus, a list of links to online health information, organizations, & associations related to thyroid dysfunction. (Beginning on p. 84)

“The Hypothyroidism Solution” covers every base … no stone has been left unturned in helping you bring your health back to normal. And you’ll see why I am saying this in a minute.

And fortunately, you will be giving your body its best chance to avoid a lifetime of medication, because when you download “The Hypothyroidism Solution”, you’re going to learn how to manage this problem at the source.
