thyroid condition at 67.....
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2016 2:24 am
My husband has been through the ringer with his by pass operation in his leg
and continuing nerve pain in his leg. Then he cut his tendon in his finger
with a razor blade. He wrenched his back carrying out something heavy to the
garbage and told the doctor he was tired all the time and gaining weight. He
is 67 years old. He has been 119 pounds his whole life. He has always been an
extremely hard worker and he never ate a lot of food. Doctor gave him a
thyroid test and his TSH is 9.8 and 9.7 the next week. He has gained 15 pounds
in the last month and none of his clothes fit him. His stomach gets fatter and
fatter every few days. He still doesn't eat very much food and he started
itching on his arms and scratching till he cuts the skin and has little sores.
He had this 35 years ago on his legs and I think the doctor gave him med and
it went away. I gave him 1 m arsenicum about 6 weeks ago. His personality
went through a dramatic change. Maybe because I had to go to work and he sits
or sleeps all day and isn't working hard anymore. He is amorous and
affectionate and says really sweet things to me. I feel like I'm living with a
really nice stranger. He will go into a bad mood and come out of it quickly
instead of weeks or months later. He has been telling me for years that he
feels shattered(he is British). Maybe he has had this thyroid issue for a long
time but this is the first time in his life that he has gained weight...and so
much so quickly. I bought him some selenium and started giving him one mcg
tablet 15 minutes ago. He won't see his primary doctor for another week and
then he'll probably send him to thyroid specialist..so he won't be seeing
anyone any time soon. I looked up remedies that are amorous and lyc and nux
and lach come up a lot...but only psor and sul for itching in bed. ..but a lot
of his problems start when he is sleeping and I did give him lachesis 200c in
the eighties because of the weird contortions he would be in when taking a
nap and the nasty mood he would be in when waking from the nap and both those
things stopped after that remedy. His legs would be on the floor and the
upper part of his body would be sort of half on his side on the couch. Unless
someone has a bright idea or ideas...I may be forced to send him to the
homeopathic school to see hopefully one of the teachers.
