Re: Brand new to all this!!

[Guest guest]

Exactly! I would sit in the floor and cry for an hour. My husband at

my side asking me what was wrong and everytime the answer

was " nothing " . He thought I was unhappy with him and that made him

unhappy. It was so out of the norm I just knew I had gone nuts. It's

amazing what all the thyroid affects! You'll be fine soon Just

takes adjusting to the meds and over the years you'll know when it's

time to change the dosage. I was 19 or 20 when this all happened so

I had never even heard of a thyroid before. I think I learned more

reading these posts over the last few days then ever before I

would like to learn more about vitamins and supplements for thyroid

problems. I have seen natural thyroid enhancers, but since I don't

have one I don't think they would work for me. I use to drink a lot

of soy because I am lactose intolerant. It was a year before I

realized I was not suppose to drink it. Just be sure to read up on

everything now so you are not backtracking and learning the hard way

like me.

Oh come on, Topper! Tell us! Inquiring minds want to know!

Perhaps it would make the rest of us feel understood!

That might make a fun thread topic... funny things we have

done " under the influence of thyroiditis. "

Oh wow, De! Sounds SO familiar! I am single so no husband to

drive crazy. But I have a really close friend, and I am amazed

that she is STILL my friend! I would go to church and just be

sitting there and suddenly have to get up and leave... total

panic... over NOTHING!! End up crying hysterically for hours! Yikes!

Before the surgery my bloodwork came back " normal " and am still

awaiting results post-surgery. Also I am learning... thanks to you

and others here, and research... what types of questions to ask my

doctor, etc.

I was wondering about lactose... some sites I have read say with

hypo to avoid it, others say to be sure to get it... AND I DO know

not to believe everything I read on the Internet. But it's good

to know the questions I need to ask!
