A year ago I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I was at stroke level almost. My thyroid level was at 127 and a normal level is .01 to .07. I also had high cholesterol.
I thought I was dying. If anyone knows what it is like to have this let me know. I want to meet you.
My symptoms were sleeping, hair loss, brittle hair, scaly skin, bloated (but drinking water non-stop); my memory was almost totally gone, meaning I would be sitting at my desk at work and be writing a sentence like this and not remember what I was writing. I would cry all the time. There was a couple times that on my way home and I would have to pull over. I would get home lay down at 5:30 and sleep until 6:30 the next morning. I finally made a doctors appointment after a couple months and was diagnosed with a Goiter (lump in the throat) and Hypothyroidism. I was relieved to know it could be taken care of with just medicine. But yet a year later if I skip more than two days of my medicine I get the symptoms back, and they come back like a storm. I know I will be on the medicine the rest of my life but hey, it is worth it. My memory is still quite sluggish but thank God my boss understands.
Let me know if anyone else has gone through this, please!
