Hi M,

We have a few 's here, including me! hehehehe

Anyway.. your symptoms could be thyroid and possibly adrenal.. definitely

not your imagination.... So stop worrying about that part.

Can you contact your doc and find out what tests he'll be running

tomorrow? I have a suspicion that he's only running TSH.. based on the

low staring dose and the brand of medication he's chosen... do you have

copies of your previous lab(s) that you can share here?

Have you been told what caused you to be hypo?

We've got a lot of ground to cover before you go in tomorrow.. be

prepared for folks to be shooting you some questions!

.... and welcome...

Hi Topper

Actually, she my doc did a blood test last November I was sub

clinical and she prescribed a low dose. Then gave me another blood

test in Feb. and thyroid was was off so she increased the dose.

Tomorrow I am having any and all blood tests she can give me

including Thyroid, and a stress test and on Monday a 24 hr. Holter

monitor.

I don't have copies of the other test and she will not get the

resutls of tomorrows test until next Firday so of course I have to

wait but she is very cautious and I like her she is a good Doctor. If

she can't fix me then I am going to request a app't to see an

endocrinologist. I just found a specialist here in Burlington Ontario

not far from home. Thank you for the support I really appreciate it.

oh gosh.. never think you are a pain.. we're all here to help and to

learn.. and we all know about brain fog and short term memory loss.. so

if you are feeling bashful about asking to have something repeated or

clarified... please don't be.. we all know what it's like.. and repeating

something or explaining something more thoroughly helps everyone....

Brain farts are very common symptom of hypo!

So ask away, everyone... that's the best way to learn, to ask questions..

and the best way to remember is to repeat.. and the best way to

understand is to ask why!

,

Before I was finally diagnosed with Hashi's, I honestly thought I

was dying (and wanted to!!!). My doctor did, too, at first. He was

sure I had a brain tumor or cancer or something awful. For whatever

reason, mine hit me hard and fast. At first I thought I had an

awful flu, but it just never went away!

Hang in there. Once you know for sure you AREN'T dying, it's a

little easier to deal with the symptoms, though still hard. I

remember once my doctor asked me if I had any suicidal thoughts. I

said, no, I don't think about killing myself, but the thought of

living another 30 or 40 years feeling like this is not appealing,

either!!

Hope you start feeling better very soon.
