My main symptoms are severe fatigue and soreness that keeps me from working full time. I have a gang of other symptoms that vary from swollen eyes (huge) to unexplained vertigo that is not mild at all. I was advised by the Mayo clinic to not treat my Hashimotos because my TSH is normal. So I am a bit of a mystery. Right now I am focused on boosting my immune system nutritionally and without medications that are harsh on my body.

Jeni,

 

Good Morning.  I am sorry not to get back to you sooner, I was out of town helping prepare for the birth of my nephew who was born last Friday.  He is doing great.  It was a real joy to be able to spend quality time with my sister and her family.

WOW, thank you for your encouragement and concern. That is very sweet of you. I am a professional photographer, and have been disabled for over two years now, sick for a total of nine years. I am willing to try just about anything to regain my strength. I am very interested in your thoughts on boosting my immune system, I have Hashimotos thyroiditis and nodules but cleared of thyroid cancer, so I am particularly interested on your husband being cancer free. Thanks for your warm words! - Jeni
