Hello Everyone. Im 64 years of age, and had my Thyroid removed 5 years ago. I was told Id be as good as rain. Long story short, for 4 years I have suffered with chronic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, depression, heart paliptations and severe anxiety, etc, etc, while still plowing the fields, single handedly, (figure of speech) to overcome the chronic disabling pain that has plagued me daily,. I took to doing my own homeork because Drs just didnt get it as to why the surgery left me worse off then before Id had it. Having gone to an endrochronologist, oncologist, immuniologist, neurologist, expressing my discomfort, I was advised my t4, t3, tsh numbers were intact. I expressed to the Endro, if something wasnt done, i was going to end up in a wheel chair dependent on social services for financial support. Dismissing my concerns, I took matters into my own hands; simply because Im stubborn and because I refused to become a burden on society. I still enjoy maintaining my independence. However, after an incident occurred, unexpectantly, while at work, I was rushed to the emergency room wherby I was advised that the Levothyroxine prescribed after my surgery I was allergic to. Apoarently, unbenounced to me, the binding agents interacted with my blood and I was chronically facing one UTI after another, to include a heart condition ecascerbated by this drug. My white cell count had dropped so low, on 3 occassions, i coukdnt get out of bed for weeks, and they couldnt tell me if Id live past last year. Moreover, the pins, needles, numbness, and buring in my hands, feet, and toes went on for months, years, whereas I could barely walk. It had become so unbearable and excruciating I contemplated suicide, and resorted to seeing a therapist for help. Much to my chagrin, nobody had any answers! So, after much research ustilizing peer reviewed studies, I discovered Magnesium Malate abated the excruciating chroic pain, I was having. Unfortunately, I was not told after the surgery that I would be deficient and would lack the essential minerals and vitamins normally secreted via an entact thyroid. These deficuencues dont show up under random blood sample testing. I.e, selenium, magnesium, and the essential b vitamins aside from B12, or D vitamins that you must ask for because its not included in random blood screening tests. Fortunately, after 2 weeks, of taking 1200 mg of Magnesium Malatte, I feel like a new person. The excruciating pain once felt has subsided. In fact, Ive gone from a 10 being the worst pain, to a 3 being the least amount, I am on the road to recovery. I am a firm beleiver in helping and sharing my experiences with others who suffer. If magnesium malate works for you , i promise you'll feel the grace of God has just descended upon you. Im also a beleiver. Good luck.
