“But i don’t
feel normal!”
Carol’s Story
I always thought I had a thyroid problem. Ever
since the first set of symptoms started revealing
themselves, which began right after the birth of
our third child, I knew something was off.
Exhaustion began to slowly creep up on me
until it finally consumed me. It was draining.
I have never experienced anything quite like it.
No matter how many naps I took or how long
I slept, it was still there.
At first I blamed the fact that I was raising
three children and holding down a full time
job…who wouldn’t be exhausted?
Then the next phase of symptoms began to
roll in. I was cold all the time! It would be August
in Texas and I’d be wearing a jacket to work. My
hair and eyebrows began to thin out. Oh, and
the brain fog. I honestly thought my memory
loss was the first sign that I had Alzheimer’s.
Over coffee with a friend, something I was
consuming way too much of, I discussed with
her what was happening to me. She said that it
sounded like a thyroid issue, something I had
always thought.
Naturally, I went to my doctor, explained
my symptoms and told him that I thought
I was hypothyroid. He ran some tests, took
blood work and scheduled my recheck. Two
weeks later he told me that my blood work
was normal. “But I don’t feel normal,” I told
him. “Are you sure those results are right?”
His answer was “yes,” and he offered me a
prescription for an antidepressant. I told him,
“No way!”
While online, I stumbled upon the Hotze
Health & Wellness Center website. It felt like
it was written for me. I discovered that they
used an innovative approach in diagnosing and
treating hypothyroidism.
I scheduled my appointment and was blown
away by their professionalism. They explained
to me that my symptoms were very common in
women in my age group.
They discovered that I had an imbalance in
my female hormones that adversely affected
my body’s ability to use thyroid hormones.
I was prescribed bio-identical progesterone,
estrogen and natural thyroid medication.
Within two months, my life was transformed.
My energy was back. I can keep up with my
kids, husband and job. My fading memory
returned to normal and I was finally able to
sleep soundly again. I got my life back!
If this sounds like something you or someone
you love has been experiencing, it’s not “all in
your head” and you don’t have to just deal with
it as a part of getting older.
