Hi I need information on the recovery and damage that was caused by almost dieing from being in a myexdema coma. My thyroid stopped working, it was never found until I almost died. I was in intensive care for 4 days under going treatment to save may life. I swelled severly and gained over 50 pounds reaching 198 pounds. I am 5'2 inches my usual weight was 130 ( I felt good at that weight ). My muscles atrophied so bad I needed help just getting up and down. I had all the symtoms that go with hypo thyroid and but I was told alot of it was in my head until I was to the point I called my doctor in tears and said "I can't breath good, I feel Like I am going to die". My doctor told me to get to the hospital,they thought I was having congestive heart failure. I drove myself to the nearest hospital, and they again said they felt it was in my head but they would run the test due to my doctor telling me to go there. They took blood and when the test results came back they said they where sorry, that I was very sick and I had to go into intensive care for ammediate treatment to save my life. Since then and before my body has hurt, even when I started to loose the weight, now I have been hurt due to a fall and I again am being treat as though I don't know what I am talking about. I fell and hurt my left leg also peeling up my hip edge and the theropist is behaving like I was just being lazy, as he says I should not be in this kind of paid. I explained that I have been since before and after I had the myexdema coma. He just doesn't seem to understand. I have been trying since I had that to get my body back. With swimming more than anything ( it hurts less ). I walk but the pain is very bad mostly in my back.( The doctors also found I have osto arthritice in the middle of my back, I never had that before this thyroid problem ). Please help me by explaining what type of damage this may have had on my musles and that Im not crazy. I have been going through this for so long now ( over a year ). I do have another doctors apointment with another specialist to determine what can be done with my thyroids, they are still not under control. Any information would be very helpful. Also my age is 48. Thanks Pam Dufresne
