> I've always been hypo-thyroid, but I have a family member recently diagnosed with hyper-thyroid. I would wonder about the anxiety too. Do you know what your thyroid levels are?
----------------I wasn't shown the values, just told that they were relatively high. My doctor essentially said that there wasn't any decent treatment for such a condition beyond radioactive iodine, after which you usually end up hypothyroid and have to take synthroid. She thinks it'll go down as I age.
It used to be a lot worse, I believe. I remember shaking and sweating with palpitations, half delerious. Not that bad lately.
