One of the things I have noticed about Rosie is her extreme hair-trigger anger and even rage which of course can be from exhausted adrenals. I know as I am just realizing that is one of my symptoms for so many years! It all makes sense.

I take generic T4 after I was unable to take Armour due to the smell that would make me sick every time I opened the bottle. I have gone off my meds for almost 2 months and felt so much better then I start to feel the hypo and go back to the T4. GRRRRR! Very frustrated with the doctor care received and cannot afford to pay the naturopath who I gave all my savings to without feeling better. He gave me phentermine and told me I needed to lose weight since I was borderline diabetic according to the lab results from all the tests I paid to have done. I have not lost hope.

I was told to quit eating so much and exercise for 25 years and fed synthroid. Today I'm losing the weight and off all pharma drugs and getting my life back. All due to this website and a great doctor. Rosie, you don't need to feel like crap just because your doc said your thyroid is normal. If Rosie isn’t hypothyroid I will eat my size 14 shirt.

Get some and try it. You'll know for yourself. Rosie, you need thyroid, it’s as plain as the puffy hypothyroid look-of-tragedy on your face. Get some and try it. You’ll know for yourself.

I was interested in the letter Rosie. Since I have severe adrenal and thyroid problems, I am always on the look out for other, especially women, who may also be suffering from this. I am a nurse and work for an orthopedic surgeon. Many times I see women that have terrible carpal tunnel, tendonitis, etc and low blood pressure. I always say "off the record" to check out their thyroids and adrenals before undergoing surgery. I think it is rampant in our society, for whatever reason. Not a day goes by that I meet a patient that seems to have these problems- also cfs and fibromyalgia. I thank you for your site, I am still struggling with adding cortisone. I have to do that much more slowly than recommended, but I'm getting there! Hi there, I have been following this site foa a long time. I was interested in the letter Rosie.

I thought the same thing about Rosie. In fact, when I started to notice her losing her hair in the late 90s during her tv show and discovering I was too, then learning mine was thyroid related-- I really began to think she has thyroid issues. She has so many symptoms and she also has something I have that is relatively unique in those with adrenal and thyroid issues, a fuller face and stomach in proportion to the rest of the body. On the Cushings spectrum. I never had the stomach issues until I got really ill and the moon face would come and go as my adrenals were up and down but now it is there all the time. If you notice, Rosie doesn’t have big arms or legs for her overall weight…she carries her weight in her face and mid section. So, I think she has adrenal issues too. When she was pretty skinny in that one movie East of Eden or something like that, she still had a full face and mid section compared to her skinny body. It would be great if you emailed this article you wrote directly to Rosie and asked her to take the FT3 in both blood and saliva and the antibodies tests and let her know that because of all the toxic exposure that many people can't convert T4 to T3 because of cellular resistance which will not show up on TSH, T3 and T4 regular tests. This is my issue. I believe Rosie grew up in Long Island, NY which is known for a lot of toxicity issues. Thank you for writing this! I thought the same thing about Rosie.
