Hi all,
I'm 32 and was diagnosed with hypothyroid after having my first child - about a year later as I felt like I was having some sort of breakdown!
The doc put me on 35 thyroxine to build up dose slowly. 6 weeks later minor improvement in bloods so dose raised to 50. In the 3 months on 50 there was no improvement in bloods at all so I've been raised to 75 for 6 weeks. If no improvement he will refer me to an endocrinologist.
I guess I'm just asking how long it all takes to balance? Feeling really fed up. I know people have to deal with far worse things but this past week I've felt so exhausted, anxious, can't sleep and teary. Don't want my gorgeous toddler to start noticing.
Any words of wisdom? I feel like I could crawl back into bed crying today. Obviously not an option with an 18 month old.
TIA x
