    Oh sweetheart, dont be hard on yourself, as you said its been a long time since you had any of those symptoms so your bound to forget, things happen in between that are at the front of your mind.Please pace and look after you x

    Hey tbf all of these symptoms could’ve been caused by different things too. When you’ve been taking your meds daily you’d thing it was alright. Anyway it’s getting sorted sort, year it’s going to take a bit of time but you’re on the right track.

    It’s been a long, long time since my thyroid was as low as it is (not since I had to have the radioactive iodine treatment that destroyed my thyroid) - I’d forgotten, but apparently it could take up to 6 weeks for the change in dose to make a change in the symptoms. Looking back, I should have realised there was an issue - low mood, cold all the time, struggling not to gain weight, dry skin, damaged nails, exhausted, aching. I mean, duh!
    It was most of the symptoms you had that made me see the doc before I went into hospital. I was convinced it was my thyroid, so they did a blood test and my thyroid readings plummeted and everything else went haywire too which triggered an investigation..the rest is history..however I had a blood test last Tuesday week and wasn't contacted by a dr. with the results so I'm assuming all is back to normal. Having hypothyroidism sucks doesn't it, but blimey, how do you manage to drink that much? You'd be better getting in the bath, not pulling the plug and drinking the contents 'til you're dry!!

    so true, Flo!

    I was actually hyperthyroid (due to lithium) and was told I had no choice but to get the radiation treatment, as hyper could kill me..... so at least I had some warning I was going to go hypo, unlike you - what a nightmare that must have been

    Katie says he’s got a really loud purr. Do tigers purr??

    My heads not in the game today, I’m feeling really fuzzy. It’s definitely a ‘not operating heavy machinery, or the kettle’ kind of day
