Obesity Epidemic?

fatter and fatter now because we choose to sit here at the computer, and we choose to sit and watch TV and we choose to allow our children to just play video games! You NEED to choose to go outside, make your kids go out and play, make yourself go out and play! Dude, everyone who is fat, you are that way because you choose to be that way (except for those who suffer from thyroid issues and so on, that is kind of out of their hands), not beacuse McD's didn't tell them their food wasn't healthy (use common sense). Am I alone in this, thinking that people continue to grow because of our sedintary lifestyles and need to eat crap?

Zoloft good or bad?

ace panic attacks again. They tried me on wellbutrin and it did't work . . .made me more anxious. Then they put me on zoloft which worked fine except for the sexual side effects. So then they put me on celexa which I was on for 2 years, ended in April 2006 (stopped cold turkey, was on low dose, had terrible withdrawl symptoms for a few weeks). I was doing fine until the beginning August. I have vertigo and started to panic about it. I started feeling really fatigued and weepy, crying over nothing I would call it. My hands and feet would change colors and would tingle alot without me feeling anxious. So they said I was depressed and tried me back on celexa, I took it for 4 days and they were hELL. I was in constant anxiety, and when I wasn't having an attack I was sleeping or fatigued. I was afraid to go back on antidepressants since. So for the past few months I have been having the chills, the tingleys all over, the hands changing color, dizziness, light headedness, not able to concentrate, a wee bit of insomnia,episodes of fatigue, seeing auras, and circulation problems. Sometimes I freak out and have an anxiety attack where I actually feel anxious. But most of the time these things happen to me and I don't feel anxious. I have had MRI of the Head, CAT Scan of the abdomen, and numerous blood tests(they tested thyroid and hypoglycemia to)My doctor says my symptoms have become a symptotmatic . . .I have the anxiety symptoms but don't always feel anxious. Does anyone have this? She wants me to take Zoloft which I would start today . . .but I am so scared any thoughts . .I just don't know what to do. . ....

Has anyone taken cytomel (T3) to help with weight control/loss who does not have a thyroid condition?

maintains cals so cal restriction has fewer benifits and working out is not quite as productive. Recently several people have recommed Cytomel (T3) to me as a way of pushing past my current plateau. It is a thyroid hormone. The recommendation is 25 mg for 4 days, 50 mg for another 4 day, then 75 mg for 5 weeks then a cycle down after that. Has anyone done this....? What happened?...

Thyroid question?

d of the norm. my TSH level was normal and it was 2.75UIU/ml. I am wondering what could cause slightly higher free T3 level and TSH still staying in the normal range. I have symptoms that could be associated with high thyroid hormone. My heart beat feel so fast after a little excersise and shortness of breath appear at the same time with fast heart beat. its hard to sleep sometimes when the symptom appears. This is very bothering me and I wonder if anyone have some idea what should I do to cure these and what could be the cause. Because my heart beat sometimes is very uncomfortable and it makes me anxicious. I really would like to be fine like before....

Possible thyroid problem?

sn't have any of the symptoms. I'm worried because the vet orginally wanted to clean the cat's teeth and I asked to wait because it was so expensive (please no lectures re: shouldn't have cat if can't afford one...) & the cat was not having oral troubles. All of a sudden she has developed thyroid problems? Should I get a second opinion? I can go to a low cost clinic, where she was adopted from. Do the symptoms appear during the later stages? I don't want my cat to suffer, if I wait for treatment. Please any suggestions would be much appreciated.
