Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi, I'm Vivienne and am new to the knowledge that there's more out there for hypothyroid patients. I've been taking thyroxine 150msgrms for 8 years. I saw my GP yesterday and she has referred me to an endocrinologist. I have a stressful life as a single mother of 3, 2 who are autistic. Before and a good few years after being diagnosed life was very full on 24/7, I felt I never stopped physically mentally and emotionally. It was more I couldn't stop as my kids needed me and there was no other support. Once things eased a bit when they were all well settled at school I started having panic attacks and have been on and off anti depressants for the past 6 years. I'm not on anything now and have reacted adversely to all of them though initially stayed with the first because it stopped panic attacks. Anyway I still have lingering hypo symptoms mainly intolerance to cold. debilitating energy levels and weakness, low stamina and brain fog. I feel as though I'm at a complete halt in this weather and sure I have slowed down consistently over the past few years. Any response to this? also I'm scared about how to approach an endocrinologist; scared that I wont be taken seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
