I was on t4 synthetic medication for 10<br>
Years and it never alleviated my hypothyroidism. Had a totally thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. Felt awful on t4 only. Thankfully I found an educated doctor who saw I was not converting t4 to t3 and added T3 to my treatment. This gave me my life back!
Patricia supported: Endocrinologists: Patients with Thyroid Dysfunction Demand Better CareECT causes severe memory loss that doctors treat as "helpful." This is the *gold standard" treatment that permanently hurt me. My complaints were dismissed.
Maria supported: Standardize, Regulate & Audit Shock Treatments (Electroconvulsive therapy or ECT)ECT left me with short-term memory loss and reduced intelligence which has rendered me unable to work. I had to leave a job I loved because of the cognitive effects of ECT. ECT has ruined my life. I now require speech therapy because I find it difficult to hold words long enough in my head to be able to speak them. I do not want this to happen to anyone else. Doctors never made it clear that permanent brain damage is possibility with ECT.
Evelynne supported: Standardize, Regulate & Audit Shock Treatments (Electroconvulsive therapy or ECT)I have a homeless person in my neighborhood that was a former prom king before his diagnosis of schizophrenia left his future in ruins. He now either spends his time wandering listlessly around the neighborhood or in jail. A permanent and appropriate shelter where he can exist without being a danger to himself and others would be mutually beneficial to all parties involved.
Cooper supported: Provide Permanent Housing For Homeless People and their FamiliesYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
