James please don't worry about replying to my other post. I don't want to overwhelm you. Most of it is still about pain.
I'm drinking about 1 gallon/water day. In the other post where I talk about symptoms I may have missed- for the thyroid. I said I was jumpy- I'm not jumpy-sorry used the wrong word. The part where I talk about overeating. It was in Feb when I started eating more fruit (most increase pain), beans(give me needed energy), with homemade tortillas so the tortilla would protect my throat more from the burnining of the raw garlic(up to 1 head/day) helping to reduce some of the pain. Including spicy habanero salsa. If I take thyroid tonic & iodoral do you think I can balance out the effects from goitrogens? I think I might be underating my pain I saw a D.O. asked for vicodin so I can sleep when this pain goes over a 10. He said to take tylenol for now. There's no way it can reduce it. I'm not sure vicodin can either, but it's stronger so it might help. I've never liked taking these drugs but if I don't I won't be able to sleep. In 2 days I slept 3 hrs because I didn't sleep 1 day. The most I can sleep now is 4hrs. Still feel like I haven't slept. Dr. didn't want to do general bloodwork. Wants to wait on results from endo & ent.P.S. I am sorry for going off on my diet like that. I know it's my fault. I end up having to cook this way for family so they won't eat worse food(they miss mexican food)-by that time I'm starving-feeling weak. I'm told I have to take care of myself first, it's not easy-I care about them, and I have so much on my plate. I will try harder this time, with my dependence on God.
