Amber,What medicine are you taking? When I tried the generic for synthroid, I was very moody like that- I threw the mail at my husband one day and I have never ever thrown anything at him in our 15 years of marriage!!!! This is how I felt several years ago. It sucks....I'm still not all the way better, but hoping to one day get better. I wish you much luck in figuring it all out. I am on natual desicatted (sp?) thyroid and it's making me much better.Hang in there!!!!

I guess the reason I'm posting on here is because I'm in serious need of talking to people who know how I feel. I'm 23 years old and was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease a year ago, even though my Endo says I've had it for years and never was properly diagnosed. When I was diagnosed, my thyroid level was at 8.2. Since then it's gone down to 2.5 which is where it's supposed to be. But I'm not feeling any better..at all. I've gone to both my general practitioner and my Endo and both tell me the same thing..That it'll take time for my body to catch up and start feeling normal. Well, I feel like it's only getting worse. I feel like it's a struggle every day to even get out of bed. I am having a hard time concentrating in my classes at school (I'm in the EMS program at my college) and I'm getting more and more irritable every day. Depression is a huge issue. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't cry..and anything will set it off. For example..I cried last night because I couldn't find a lid to the pot I was cooking in. I feel like I'm being extremely snappy towards my daughter (who is 4) and I'm afraid that if I keep on, she'll end up having resentment towards me. I guess I should go ahead and say that I am on 50mg of Zoloft for depression but I really don't think it's working at this point. Everyone around me that I talk to say that I'm just making excuses and being lazy. How do you explain to them exactly how you feel when you don't even understand why you're feeling this way in the first place? I really just don't know what to do anymore and feel like I'm hitting a brick wall here..I don't know why I'm even posting on here because even venting doesn't help. Kind of don't know what to do anymore.

To Amber...

I would suggest that you also look up Adrenal Fatigue... it goes

hand in hand with thyroid issues and it runs most of the hormones in

your body. If you need to heal your Adrenals, it will really help

the thyroid.

Also, if you have hashis's I would suggest looking into using T3

only for a while.

Amber,

What medicine are you taking? When I tried the generic

for synthroid, I was very moody like that- I threw the

mail at my husband one day and I have never ever thrown

anything at him in our 15 years of marriage!!!! This

is how I felt several years ago. It sucks....I'm still

not all the way better, but hoping to one day get better.

I wish you much luck in figuring it all out. I am on

natual desicatted (sp?) thyroid and it's making me much

better.

Hang in there!!!!
