Hi everyone,
I admit I'm struggling quite a lot at the moment with the horrible HA. It's been triggered by finding out that my thyroid medication (I take thyroxine for hypothyroidism) is out of whack, the effect of which is profound and unrelenting tiredness. I wake up feeling like I've not slept, I'm always sleepy and I can't enjoy nights out because I get worn out by 10pm.
However the GP upped my dose and I really thought I'd feel better...but no. Now I'm fretting about adrenal failure, liver failure, any autoimmune disease (having one makes you more likely to develop another)...you name it. Also I've been having headaches, which are just in one place and get worse when I shake my head or cycle over a bump. Yep, so here comes the brain tumour and/or aneurysm worry again :weep:
I am trying to keep a handle on it, but the headaches are always there (I don't usually get them) and I am starting to convince myself that it's a tumour. Also I take the Pill so there's always the blood clot worry.
*sigh* I would appreciate any advice or kind words...just wish I could escape this mental torture :unsure:
Thanks everyone!
