Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi everyone, I am new and would like to know if your mood swings are as severe as this. As bad as feeling like your REALLY going insane? I have these moments when I have to go to my room, and just scream. I will get so mad over nothing. I can be home alone and get all mad about nothing. Just watching tv alone and swing from a normal and pleasant mood to a rage. Then, sometimes I will suddenly start laughing for no reason. I am not normal anymore and I fear that I never will be again. I went to doctors for years and none of them understand and if they do, they just want you to keep returning, over and over again, trying new things, up the dose here and there. I got sick of it and just quit everything. I had a total hysterectomy in 2001 at 31 years old and I am hypothyroid. I have an absorbing problem and tried shots too. I ordered some " synthroid " Eutirox 100 mcg ho3aa01 levotiroxina sodica on line a while back and have been taking one tablet a day for 3 days. I still feel nuts, but I am sure it will have to take longer to have an effect. I there is not a doctor for 100 miles that will prescribe Armour either. I was on synthroid before, but it never worked. I bought that on line so I can play with my own doses. I could be and I feel like I have MS, due to a leison found on my brain last year. I have been told that MS and a bunch of other stuff has to be ruled out before Fibromyalgia can be DX'ed. I know that Hypothyroidism can mimic these and I know I am hypo. My depression is extreme and I am at my ropes end. I do not want to go back to a doctor, but may do it just for some test results. Anyway, thank you for listening to me and thanks in advance for letting me know about the mood swings. I can tell this is a great site!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Hi BillieGail, Welcome.... If you're having trouble with docs and such.. you have an option to at least get an idea of where you stand as far as your hypo... you can go have your own labs done.... www.healthcheckusa.com has a package that will check a bucket load of things for about $100 VIP Profile Plus II (Super Chemistry Plus Thyroid Panel II) (Valued up to $590.00) Includes Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and Ratios, Triglycerides, Glucose(Diabetes), Kidney, Liver, and Heart Functions, Potassium, Calcium, Uric Acid, Electrolytes, Iron, PLUS a CBC (Complete Blood Count) and Free T3, Free T4, and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. You need to check for a Lab 1 to get this test done. The mood swings could definitely be another side effect of hypo... I've had more than one occasion where I nearly went 'postal' for the dumbest reasons... then I advanced to the curl up in a ball and don't feel stage... I'm passed all that now..... Don't worry about interpreting the lab results... there are plenty of folks here that can help with that....
