I would never minimize anothers suffering and I sympathize with your ordeals. I have the opposite, hypothyroidism, as well as degenerative disc disease in my lower back and neck. I am on permanent disability because of it. I hope you can find a good doctor that can treat your symptoms and help you to have better health. We can look around and always find someone worse off than ourselves. That adage about, "I complained that I had no shoes until I saw a man with no feet.", seems to say a lot to me. We can ask, "Why me?", but really it should be, "Why NOT me?". In this world, this fallen world, there will be pain and suffering, disease and death, but this world is NOT our final home.

Our physical bodies WILL go back to "biomass" but our souls are eternal. Our Creator loves us and has provided a way so that we can be with him for eternity. When we receive Jesus Christ, which is believing in Him to be our Savior, accepting the free gift of God offered to us by his grace through faith, we WILL be with him in heaven. One day, we will be given a new, glorified body to inhabit and it will never be sick or grow old or die. I will gladly endure this life of pain knowing that eternity with my God is my future.

I understood this precious truth when I read John 10:27-30, Jesus said:

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.

I sincerely will be praying for you, FRiend.

Primary hyperparathyroid disease and hypothyroid disease are different things. I have both.

Have you looked into healing your adrenals, boat? Heal them and the thyroid will follow.
