Under Active Thyroid

[Starshiptrooper]

I went to the docs last week feeling depressed and they're now saying i have an under active thyroid. Has anyone else had treatment for this?

yes! don't worry, treatment is easy once the right dose of thyroxine is worked out (everyone is differant) i promise once it kicks in you will feel sooooo much better.

MISI is a great person on here to look for, is a fountain of knowledge on this subject.

yes yes, of all the chronic diseases to have underactive thryoid is one of the best
one you get your levels right you will be human again. It may take 3 months for it to kick in big time but my god your life will be easier

And most underactive thyroid people are witty, just look at me and jesuswhatnext!

yes
we are stunning and generally pretty chipper now we are feeling sooooooo much better

Thank you ladies - that's a relief!

an older gentleman actually told me last week that i was 'shinning bright star in a sea fog'

so add that to the list

Oh blimey - is that what happens when you get on these meds then?

Wow! Does that mean when is stop being hyper and start being hypo I will be beautiful, witty and a shining star etc.

How wonderful! It will make a change. DH will probably be scared.

i don't know if it is the meds or that i'm simply beautiful
