My daughter died at 2 from AML leukemia, and although I absolutely do not know what it's like to have your new born leave your arms for Heaven, I can relate to a degree. <BR/><BR/>As for the nutrionalist...I think in being a smarty pants way would have asked him when he got a psychology degree and was licensed to diagnose depression! When I was at about the 2 yr mark (I'm not at 8 1/2 yrs almost) I felt it was time to see a councelor, because the anxiety attack's were taking over my life and the depression had truly set in. He was a wonderful Christian councelor and told me that any decent councelor, psychologist/psychiatrist will tell you that in the first 1 to 2 yrs it's NOT depression it's grief and it's a process we just simply have to go through to one day get to a point that it's not the center most focus of our day. <BR/><BR/>I'm praying for you and pray that people in your life will be gentle with you. BTW I'd LOVE to shake who ever said to you "at least you have 4", don't you want to just ask them to pick one of their children and let you know if life would be ok without them? No matter how many children we have, to lose one is nothing less than devestating. <BR/><BR/>God BlessChristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932007213063890925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207295308265033601.post-19015613506454760382008-09-08T19:48:00.000-07:002008-09-08T19:48:00.000-07:00I will be praying for you through the "trying to f...I will be praying for you through the "trying to find something out" process. I have been in this place so many times, my husband always jokes with me that there is always something wrong with me but the "test" always say I am "normal" what ever that means. <BR/>Just this past month I missed my cycle for the first time in my life (except when pregnant) well I am not pregnant and my Dr. did hormone testing on me and yet the call I got from her was your levels are all normal. I still don't know how this, I don't know how you miss a cycle and yet your hormones are normal??? <BR/>I have always wondered how they can tell if your hormones are in range when they don't know what your baseline (your normal) was to start with. We are all so different to fit all women in to a small range is so crazy to me. <BR/>I think it is great you are trying to go the more natural way! <BR/>I was wondering if you get massage therapy? If you don't I would love to offer my hands. I am a therapist and I love what I do, I don't get to work as much as I would like due to all of Zachary's appointments but if you don't have someone you go to I would love to help you anytime.<BR/>Renee Charlan<BR/>You can contact me at Reneepink@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207295308265033601.post-77970782070318356652008-08-29T04:43:00.000-07:002008-08-29T04:43:00.000-07:00Funny.

It seems that every Dr. I have been to has tried to put me on some sort of depression drug or sleeping med. They worry that I cry every time I speak of Micah. It seems that they just don't get it. I will pray that you get the much needed rest. <BR/>Christinezanesmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264713926845256655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207295308265033601.post-2309709736288197322008-08-28T12:42:00.000-07:002008-08-28T12:42:00.000-07:00Hi Corie!Thanks so much for letting me know how to...Hi Corie!<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for letting me know how to specifically pray for you. I am sorry you are dealing with all of this on top of everything else. I have had the same experience of walking into a doctor appointment and being chalked up to depression before a second glance. Frustrating! I will be praying for!<BR/><BR/>Much Love,<BR/>Kristyboltefamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09178547489939649432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207295308265033601.post-18827978640313246672008-08-28T12:27:00.000-07:002008-08-28T12:27:00.000-07:00Corie,I have followed your blog for the past sever...Corie,<BR/>I have followed your blog for the past several weeks from finding the link at Aimee's blog. I do not know her personally either but have been reading her blog for several months and have just been so touched by the stories about your families and babies who recently went to heaven. Anyway, I was reading your blog today. I am hypothyroid too, and unless there are different types of this disorder I have never been told I could not or should not have anymore children, etc. I am almost 40. My initial symptoms 5 years ago when I was diagnosed were being tired and lack of energy about half way into the day. My nurse practitioner did some lab work and found that my levels were off so I started taking medication. Once they found my magic dosage number everything has been fine but I will have to take this little pill every day forever. There are no side effects, etc. I did have a couple miscarriages in the past 2 years but it was not due to being hypothyroid or taking the medication. My ob/gyn encouraged me to keep trying for a baby but my husband and I just could not go through the heartache anymore so decided to just spoil the one child we have:). When you are pregnant I think they just try to monitor your thyroid levels more to make sure everything is in sync. <BR/><BR/>If I would have gone to the doctor you described I probably would have had to pick my jaw up off the floor before I left his office. Glad the acupunture works for you. I've never done it but my stepmom has and it really helped her with one of her medical problems. <BR/><BR/>Take care!<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09705809678738565983noreply@blogger.com
