    Thyroid disease and vaccine

    I have Hashimoto and hypotireosis, the thing is I haven't been to the doctor for too long, I am not taking meds, I suffer from HA and last couple of years were pretty bad for me, I was so scared if I go to the doctor they will find something sinister, I know, there is no excuse...

    So, I've read that people with thyroid disease can be vaccinated IF they are medically stable. But I am not. And I think my thyroid went crazy, I have all the symptoms. Since all this madness started I couldn't go to the doctor and in my country is currently a third wave so I really can't risk going now. What do I do? This is horrible. I can't receive vaccine? But I also can't go to the doctor because I can catch covid there.
    And it would probably take months to stabilize my condition so that means I would have to wait for months to get the vaccine. I am doomed, I'll get covid till then!

    Do anyone here knows can I get the vaccine even if my thyroid hormones are mess?

    I really think you need to ask your doctor this question as we are not medically qualified to do so

    Good luck with it

    It is really good to see a doctor. Getting the vaccine without any professional consultation may worsen your current situation. It is better to get check up and not assume.

    And I hope you are doing good.

    Thank you all. I'll call my doctor tomorrow. I don't feel well for the last few days, very sleepy and feeling fatigue, having goosebumps, I've had that a year ago and I think it's thyroid related. I am so scared. Scared of covid, of dying, I will go crazy if I can't get the vaccine (probably can't because I am feeling unwell) but I am also scared of the vaccine, it's been a horrible year and I don't see an end.

    So, my doctor in one minute phone conversation said I can get the vaccine. It's not that I don't believe him but I have no other choice because I don't have any other doctor to ask.
    I will get Pfizer on Monday if I manage to get there, half hour walk, it will be exciting because I am already dying of anxiety.
    If I die, it was meant to be.

    I have terrible eyelid twitching right now and I am scared that my nerves are damaged and that the vaccine will paralyse me just like those other people I saw on news. I've read about someone's grandma who had some slight nerve damage and after vaccine she had 39 temperature for a week and more and was completely paralysed. She was really healthy before that.

    So, I don't know. I can't live anymore with the fear of covid, I don't have any other choice. If I die, it will be because doctors just don't care.

    My wife has thyroid issues and takes a low dose med to control it. Other than the normal side effects, she was fine. You will be too.

    I don't take meds, that's why I am concerned. But thank you, I really hope so.

    Do you choose not to take meds for your thyroid condition?
