I am off of my meds now I tapered off of them and yesterday was the 1st day totally off of them, I am doing ok. I hate being on any medicine and I am about to go off my meds for my thyroid also, I cant see where it is helping me at all, I am still gainig weight and I am still very tired and cold all the time so wat is the point of taking it if it isnt helping and the doctors treat you as a number not as a person, I am going to give it a few more months and if they cant figure out wat is going on then I am going off all my meds for my thyroid.
DH was on vacation all last week so I didnt get much time to get to the board sorry abotu that, he is now back to work and I am finding it a bit depressing I wish he was able to stay at home all the time but I know that is impossible, it is just that him and I are so close and I really enjoy his company and his help with the kids.
Went and saw my mom and dad and it went ok. my dad's health still isnt too well but if he would take care of himself he wouldnt look so bad, he really needs to stop smoking I told my paretns that I have been smoke free for a year now ( hoping that would encourage them to quit themselves ) but all they could say is well that is good, you didnt smoke as long as we have, all excuses so I told my mom well when she can't breath and has to carry around oxygen then maybe she will think about it, ( I know I was a bit harsh )
sorry about this post didnt really go any where did it

Hi Mary,
I just have to try this every doc I go to says the same thing it isnt my lexapro and when I bring up the fact that it can interact with my thyroid meds they never say anything about that, so I have to for myself see if that is why I am feeling so sluggish and why I am gaining weight. I was told by my Endo doc that I needed to watch wat I ate and I needed to exercise more, well that isnt a very good thing to tell someone who has an Eating Disorder, I exercise for over 2 hours a day and I hardly eat anything and I still gain weight and when I tell this to the Endo then all he can say is well your levels are normal, so see I HAVE to do this. I know I will more then likely crash hard again and will end up back in the hospital but this is something I have to do. I guess you could say that wat I weigh means more to me then anything, I would rather be dead then be at the weight I am at now.
I am trying to take care of myself at least I am trying btu it is so hard. I told my T that I went off my meds and well she wasnt happy but she also agrees with me I am not going to be happy with myself until I find out if my lexapro is making me gain the weight or if it is my thyroid, so she asked me when would I turn to her and ask for help, and I couldnt give her an answer, I am not one to ask for help to me that is a sign of weekness.
I will try to keep yall posted on how I am and how things are but, I was told also to watch my posts so I will do that and when I get so low I will not post here until I get back on my feet.
