It's no fun to go through life suffering with thyroid symptoms. I swore I was dying. I thought the doctor was going to call me and tell me I had a week to live. I know how bad that feeling is. My son was only 4 months old too, so I just felt like I was dying and leaving my only child and husband behind. Getting the diagnoses was a giant relief, but I suffered from a lot of anxiety for a long time after that. I feel your frustration, and I hope you find relief soon! |
Thank you! Its always nice to have the confirmation of my pain. Its hard for my husband and boys to understand why I am tired or I hurt when I haven't done anything. I guess its easier to "believe" a person is sick if they look the part.
I secretly blame my doctor for my thyroid going haywire. I really think it was the meds they had me on that triggered it.. but of course what is done is done..."one". My next step is to take the drive down to John Hopkins... I am positive they would love to poke and prod me!
