please, healing and good wishes for my fiance.

Well, long story short. My fiance, has a lot of health problems.
And recently, she feels like she is about to go into another thyroid storm. (She has thyroid problems bad) for those who aren't familiar with this, it's very dangerous. And can result in coma and death.
And also her right foot is swollen, which is something else entirely.
I am taking her to the hospital today. And need all the good wishes I can get from my fellow brothers and sisters.
I love her a lot. And feel helpless, like a bad spouse. Because there is absolutely nothing I can do. Except moral support.

Thank you all.
And may the force be with you.

It is important to remember that moral support is no small thing. Staying by her side with all your heart and soul as well as staying strong can have a profound impact. If you stay by her side and be a pillar for her to lean on during this ordeal you are most certainly not a "bad spouse". I wish the best for you and your spouse.

Keep the love flowing, stay strong and may the Force be with you,
Rai

She is in my thoughts. Please have my deepest well wishes...

*hugs*

I will keep her in my thoughts...
And you.

By saying you love her alot, You aren't a bad spouse, you are a loving spouse, and Moral support ( even though it doesn't seem like it) IS a GREAT DEAL of help...so you are far from helpless. I know from experience that sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to "be there for the person you love" and not really do much of anything other than moral support for them. It's hard to do, because you feel like you aren't doing anything...but you are...trust me. And when things seem they are darkest, stay strong, hold that love close, and be that pillar of strength for her, and in essence help her through this battle. you both CAN do this.

My thoughts are with you during this time,

My wife had a minor day operation two months ago but there were complications and we ended up staying in the hospital for 18 hours. I agree with Raidoutenshi that just being there for her by her side is no small thing.

My thoughts are with you. Take care.

I am doing my best to stay positive.
It's hard. When you see The one you love going through so much.
Especially at a young age(we are both 21.) I just want to do all I can. To protect her.

May the force be wtth you all.

I have an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid, so I know how hard it is. I will send her some healing.

Do you have a: first name, nick name or uniqueness fact/expression I can tune in on? PM is you wish.

My name is Corey, hers is Rebecca.

Corey, it is very unfortunate that your fiance is facing these problems, but it is a grand thing that she has you by her side to face them with her. Be her the Earth for her strenght, be her Fire to cleanse her body, be her Water to calm the tides and show her a bright horizon, and be her Air so give her the breath of life and help her mind to focus on the love you each share.

I know staying positive is a very complicated thing to do. Coming from someone who has had many medical issues, much of which were life threatening, I know it is hard to stay positive. But having someone who is positive and can give her positive affirmations will help her heal and ease her pain.

My wife and I will pray and meditate for her and you both.

May the Force be with you both.

My better half had hyperthyroidism and, after over 6 years taking things like neomercazole (Carbimazole) a few times a day, we solved it by completely removing gluten. Bizarre but true.

She also avoids dairy and a few other things, but its the gluten which cannot be reintroduced in any amount.

I doubt it's a solution for all hyperthyroidism sufferers, but it might be worth a try. It is not easy though as the diet becomes very restrictive (but healthier).... and if eating gluten again it can take only 7 days to rally itself into the danger zone as TSH plummets and T3 and T4 go through the roof.

You probably already know this, but for those that do not, TSH is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone and is the signal from the brain to control thyroid production levels to keep things in balance. When the thyroid becomes overactive and levels of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) get too high in the body, the brain reduces the TSH to signal a decrease in production. Unfortunately the overactive thyroid seems to ignore the signal.

We were given three options; 1. surgically cut out the thyroid and supplement as required for the rest of life, 2. radiation to kill off the thryoid and supplement as required for the rest of life, or 3. medicate.

We chose option 3 and luckily found a naturopath GP who had enough genuine interest in actually solving the cause rather then treating the symptoms.

The specialist's wouldn't have a bar of it but they cannot argue against the bloodwork for years before hand and the years afterwards. I think they were more miffed they lost her 'business' then happy she was no longer suffering from it. So its a relief that she has not had any symptoms nor drugs in nearly 10 years!!!!

It really takes a toll on the relationship at the best of times, so my thoughts and prayers are with you both and your family. As always my PM box is open.

Good names. Not many name pares like that. You have my best thoughts. Bless you both.

I see you both climbing a tall mountain. Rebeca is leading? You're exausted but you climb to the peak and are very happy. All is well.

I only say them the way I see/feel them.

My prayers go out to you and your beloved. Corey, there is no small thing in offering moral support. Should you feel the need for moral support of your own, please let us know. We are here for you.

May the Force be with you both.

You are both in my thoughts,
sending hugs

I am sorry all.
Been hectic lately.
Still working on my journal over in the journals section.
We are alright.
She is doing a little better.

Me and her were forced to move out of where we were at.
So we packed all our stuff 3 nights ago. In my car, over filled. And drove 2 hours to my moms.
