I have just been diagnosed with a low thyroid.!
Question: I have just been diagnosed with a low thyroid!.
I certainly have spoken to my doctor about it and have researched the internet!. I have an appointment to see an endriconogist!. What I would like to know is do any of you have this or have friends or relatives who have this!. I have been so exhausted, so depressed, I don't sleep well, and sometimes I just cry!. I have never been a cryer in my life!. Could low thyroid be causing all this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
YES! A hypoactive thyroid can be causing all this! Good news though, it can be treated relatively easily!.!.!.a pill every morning and bloodwork to check your thyroid function!. It may take some time to get your dose just right, but once you do you will feel so much better!.
When I was diagnosed as hypothyrroid, I was so exhausted and slept so much, but didn't sleep well!. Once I started taking Synthroid, I started feeling better within a few days and back to normal in about 6 weeks!.
I am glad that you are seeing an endocrinologist, you will receive better care for your thyroid disease from an endo!. S/he will likely run a thyroid panel, and I would inquire about having a thyroid antibody lab run as well to check for Hashimoto's!. Hashi's is an autoimmune disorder in which your body attacks the thyroid!. Not every person that is hypo has this, but it's a good idea to be checked for it because over time your thyroid medication will need to be adjusted as your thyroid deteriorates!.
