I've tried the things you all have tried...Didn't seem to help much. Oh well, we just keep trying some more.
I do find that a little exercise helps. Even if you are very fatigued, try to walk around the block. I get pulled around the block by a cute little 10lb. ball of energy. But, we stop at many trees and bushes..... :roll:

My Mr. Meat and Potatoes husband wouldn't eat it either if I told him. A girl must have her secrets in life.

I agree that a capsule would be easiest for me, too. I'm watching your thread to see what everyone says. Anything I can wash down with Mt. Dew that will make me feel better is a good thing........within reason!

here is a web site for synthroid take note of interactions and what can decrease effectiveness of the drug. I do have more information on fibromyalgia and I will try to glean some more information for you in the next few days. My advice would be not to take the soy, I was taking it and have hypothyroidism and feel better since I have stopped. I guess I had better paste the web site: http://health.yahoo.com/hormone-medi...d00278a1-drugs

When I have bought herbal supplements, I talk to my pharmacist about interactions, doseages, etc... He knows my history and is very knowledgeable about these supplements :wink:

:cry: I just got home from a couple of errands, and checked the mail. I was just denied my claim by Social Security Disability. :cry: It's bad enough to hurt all the time, but do they have to kick you while your down...

Hi Tink's Mom--MOST people are denied the first time they apply for SS disability benefits. It took my husband two years to get his approved. It went all the way to the third appeal, before a judge, before he was approved. What is funny is that once we were before the judge, and the Social Security doctor read off my husband's illnesses, it took all of about 5 minutes for the judge to approve the claim and we were out of there. We had to hire a lawyer who specializes in Social Security claims. The lawyer got a chunk of the back pay, but if the claim hadn't been approved, he would have gotten nothing. I've heard that if you try to do the appeals without an attorney, you probably won't be approved.
I wish you luck in your pursuit!

don't even mention SS to me!!! i filed early due to being laid off and learned later i'd already made too much for the year I filed and owed everything they gave me back!!! sigh@@@@

tinks mom...... i was denied SS i filled 6 months to late. i had more then enough units of work however the doctors that were treating me didn't know it was going to be permanent. even through i had all the records of how long i was being treated that i was indeed disabled 18 months before i filled i was still denied. yes we are living in the USA

Thanks for your support. I have left a message with a friend to get her husbands disability lawyers #. I had a difficult time getting myself to file for the disability and now....

hypothyroidism is easily managed, so it doesn't interfere with my life. still ... it has it's drawbacks.

tofu ... toe-phooey, if you ask me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

imagine how happy i was to read a few years ago that i have a medical excuse to avoid soy!!!
