You know when your thyroid is out you can get acne. I just found out my thyroid is on the fritz and I have been feeling so badly. It also can cause depression and a whole lots of bad things. Aches and pains, well because it regulates loads of hormones necessary for the health of most organs.
My take is this, we go along for a while dealing with this stuff, and then wham it all descends on us, stresses us out, causes problems with not only our minds but bodies too. Then doctors don't check everything out because I know for me, I have been eating badly because I was sick for a while and then I lost my appetite due to topamax and now I have never really recovered it so I can go forever without eating. And I think it has totally screwed things up metabolically and then that effects the mind even more.
It is all a cycle. So Lemonaide, I think some extensive blood is in order too. Not just to blame it on the mental because at some point it will all take its toll on the body and then you have to have more help than you thought. I am finding that out.
And not just the standard tests will do. I found a place called Integrative Health and they are running a whole battery of tests that any doc can do, in fact a doc runs this place and why all doctors don't I don't get it. But I just know that all the mental stress of reliving all that we went through will eventually takes its TOLL and then you have real physical problems too.take care Lemonaide,
remember the mind and body are closely connected. What affects one will affect the other!rsk
