Shirl:
Hopefully the tests that you are having done will shed some light on your current situation and lead to a quick resolution. I am well aware of what must being going through your mind wrt homeopathy. I hope the homeopathy is working and you will soon be free of your medication.
I have wanted to post some of my thoughts on your previous thread but I decided not to. I did not want to distract from the task at hand which is trying to help you through this crisis. The aspect of changing practitioners is a difficult one. It goes against Kent’s advice as discussed in the attached link.

I received treatment from the first homeopath I saw for approximately one year. I stopped because my overall health which was stable prior to starting the treatment had deteriorated. After an extensive search I eventually started treatment with another practitioner. Unfortunately after several years of treatment from this practitioner I am no better off. I have not received any homeopathic treatment for over 1 ˝ years but I am seriously considering giving it one more try.
There is one other thing I would like to add that may be of some help. Did this change in your health coincide with having your thyroid prescription refilled? The reason I am asking is because last summer I was contacted by an individual who was suffering from a severe case of hives. I had had a severe case of hives which I quickly remedied after determining the cause and eliminating it. This individual suffered for several months before discovering the cause. The cause was a reaction to the thyroid medication being taken. Even though the medication had been taken for several years without any “problems” the pharmaceutical company for some unknown reason decided to alter the ingredients of the medication and it was this alteration that caused the hives. The individual now gets the medication from overseas where the original formula is still being used. This is just a thought and may be worth looking into.
Good luck, I know how precious good health is.
