> It is so clear to me how crucial the thyroid hormones are to my feeling better. If you could have seen me before the increased doses, and now, after, the difference is very obvious. I was a mess. Depressed, fatigued, suicidal, foggy headed, unable to get any work done, unable to get to work on time, crying all the time, confused, achy, I could go on.
Dear Noa,I am so sorry that you had to experience this. It brings tears to my eyes.
> Once the thyroid med increases kicked in, the depression lifted dramatically, as did the other symptoms. Things aren't perfect now, but a world of difference--no comparison.
On the other hand, I am so glad to know how wonderfully different life is for you now. It brings smiles to my lips.
Otherwise, have a nice day.

* I'm not sure why, but I was moved by your description. Perhaps it is because of its simplicity and honesty. Perhaps it is because I see so much of my own suffering contained within your words. Perhaps you caught me at a moment of emotional lability. Perhaps it is because of the feelings I have developed for you and for many others here. It is most definitely because I don't want anyone to experience, or to have ever experienced, what I have and still do.Perhaps my time will come soon. I pray so. If it does, I will want to take everyone else with me.
