Yes, yes, yes!!!! Without a doubt, every single time without exception. I ache for days after sometimes. My husband does not understand and to be honest I have made him suffer for it. It just is not pleasurable for me and nor is it thrilling for him when I say tell him. So add this to the list of my complaints. But I certainly hope this is not related to...

Dear Ruth and Karina, The commonalties we share are quite surprising to me and a relief at the same time. It is very difficult when you have an infant and your health is decling for reasons you don't understand. I nursed my last for almost a year as well. For me, I couldn't wait until the pregnancies came to an end. I hated being pregnant from the minute...

Hi Karina, Sorry to hear that you are suffering some of the same ails and then some.... I rarely have headaches so I'm thankful for that. It can't be easy with a 2 year old. My son is three and I feel my symptoms got worse after I had him, not to mention I went into pre-term labor at 32 weeks and had him 10 days later. My body just couldn't tolerate the...

Hello Kelly, Have you had your thyroid levels checked lately? Have thyroid problems myself, I know that swollen ankles and feet are a one of the symptoms, as are bowel problems as of course are palpitations, weight gain or loss depending on hyper or hypo. Best of luck to you. SharonP

Dear Ruth, I see you are a newbie too - welcome to you. It is indeed a relief to see that others have/are experiencing the same symptoms as me. I forgot to mention in my original post that my memory is REALLY bad. I have very poor concentration as well. Is this a symptom of celiac disease? I know it is related to Hashimoto's disease. I am just frustrated...

Hi Laura, Thank you for responding to my post. Yes I am miserable..... Although, none of my ailments are life-threatening they do take a toll, especially when you think you are becoming a hypocondriac(sp) and wonder if all my symptoms are in my head. You are afraid of reporting all your aches, pains and concerns to your Dr b/c he may just think your nuts...

Hi Laura, Thank you for your welcome. I really appreciate that. Part of me just doesn't want to accept that I have something else wrong with me. I hardly eat bread, I hate all cereals, I don't much like food-period, so I know my diet is a contributing factor to my ails, as is genetics. Thanks for the info in the cookies, I'll definitely ask my supermarket...

Hello, I have just registered with this board. I am currently being "worked-up" for Celiac Sprue after a positve antibody test. The result of this test was a total suprise tome and my doctor since I am not of the "typical" group that usually gets celiac disease, in that I am East Indian. I have had a problem with anemia since I was in my teens and have...
