When i was tested and the results were 2.95 my endo told me i definitley wasn't hypothyroid.At the time my main symptom was tiredness and extreme thirst plus bone pains.All 3 of my immediate family are hypothyroid so as you can imagine i was still thinking that the problem was with my thyroid.I was to be tsted for DI but being the NHS a bed has not yet been available so as i was getting more and more ill e.g low body temp(96.2)weird throat feelings,cough,fatigue,headaches,bone pains,heavy periods etc,i decided to get my GP to do more tests and surprise surprise i am hypo!
I took my first thyroxine tablet today but i still have to have other investigations re the thirst.I am relieved to have a partial answer to my symptoms after years on Effexor,prozac etc.I have a mental health history(no formal diagnosis as such)and am sick of doctors thinking it was all in my mind.Oh by the way i am 36 and feeling about 80.I will write a bit more later so thanks for your messages and interest.
