Hey Everyone,
I posted about six weeks ago about my thyroid. I had a routine blood test then that showed my TSH at 4.8 (should not be higher than 4.5) this indicates hypothyroid. I decided to wait six weeks and retest before committing to lifetime meds and being symptom free. Well it is now six weeks and I have to go tomorrow. I am nervous, sad, sick to my stomach you name it. I just don't want to have a "real" condition and I don't want to take another pill. I have had such struggles with insomnia and I am afraid this med (synthroid) will cause that to start up again.
It is just so frustrating, its like I can't get a break. Isn't this anxiety enough of a burden?
I know I am having a pity party but I just hate this.
Any thoughts?
Ivy
