It wasnt until i was 22 that i was diagnosed with Autism.

I also have PTSD, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) Hasimoto thyroiditis and Lupus. Which make it difficult for me to leave the comfort of my own home. And the ability to eat "normal" near impossible. I am verrrry sensitives to textures, tastes and temperatures. And when i like a certain food; I will eat it for days or weeks before i move on to another food.

In April 2005 i lost my son to sudden infant death syndrome.
In January 2009 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
I have also been married to the most amazing man for the past 3 years.

    No matter what thyroid meds you take,
    if you take them sublingually, e.g. under
    the tongue or between the gum and cheek and
    let them dissolve, there are thousands of
    capillaries in your mouth to absorb the
    medication whereas, if you swallow them
    with water, your stomach acid will bind to
    some of the meds and you won't get the full
    benefits. I found this information while
    researching Armour dessicated thyroid meds
    at www.stopthethyroidmadness.com. Almost all
    thyroid meds are bound together in a sugar base,
    so they taste sweet and not at all offensive.
    I'm currently working with a FORMERLY uncooperative
    primary care physician who, after my endo
    left town, was doing only TSH bloodwork and
    had lowered my synthroid to a 20 year low.....
    I am hypothyroid with Hashi's. When I got to
    the point I could hardly drag myself out of bed,
    my skin was virtually flaking off and my hair
    falling out she finally agreed to run TSH,
    free T3 and free T4, called me w/results to
    say she was increasing my synthroid & I should
    get tested again in 6 wks....DUH!!!
