| |  "Check out your Thyroid!"
, Fri 10 Jun 11:34
I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism - an underactive thyroid. For years I have fought with anxiety, horrible PMS, depression, not being able to deal with stress and oh so lovely mental fogginess. My doctor told me that these are some symptoms of a hypothyroid. I am on my second day of medication and while it takes weeks for true improvement to show itself, some of the above mentioned symptoms have subsided. It is still there, but on a much lower level. Hopefully, they will all disappear once my hormones get back online.
I wanted to tell everyone this so that they can 1. Go online and educate yourself about thyroid disorders and 2. Maybe you can get yours checked with a simple bloodtest. I just feel relieved that there was something actually wrong with me.
They say that depression is a symptom of something else that is wrong.
