I was diagnosed with Autoimmune hypothyroid- whatever it's called!
Under active. It is apparently an auto immune disease where my immune system is attacking my thyroid and im on Levothyroxine for life .
Now, im shit scared as the Doc just phoned me, announced it and asked me to pick up my prescription. Attached to the prescription was a small handout with basic information so I proceeded to google myself into an early grave!!
According to the internet, I can also aquire or indeed have MS, Celiac Disease, type 1 diabetes, Addisons disease, Pernicious amemia, Sjogrens syndrome, Rheumatiod Arthritis, Myasthenia Gravis, Ovarian Failure and a massive heart attack!!
Clearly im loosing my mind here!
I have a nrly 3 yr old and a 5 month old. I have already had a malignant melenoma removed at 26 years old and now at 33 im wondering if im doomed or something.
Please all dodgy thyroids come here and talk sense into me!
