I had become hypothyroidic (MEA CULPA) because
I had stopped taking Synthroid for almost a year;
this I did because I was speeding, insomniac,
and had diarrhea - I thought the drug was the cause;
so when my doctor got me and put me on replacement
(actually it was an intern) the dose was way too
high (the numbers got mixed up between what it
was a year before, and what was necessary now);So I got something like a heart attacks only many
times, panic, sweats, voracious appetite, heat,
etc. all the hyperthyroid symptoms - which indeed
I must have had. It was very frightening, and
i am grateful to my doc. who put me at euthyroid
level in 6 months - depsite my stupidity.But i was very ill - ER calls, etc.
