In reply to Think I Know Reason For High Anxiety Past Week, posted by Phillipa on October 25, 2006, at 22:18:03
> Well I finally got the number values back on my thyroid as I have hasimotos and the TSH was more than low it made me hyperthyroid. So I called the endocrinologist that I was having to wait til Dec 20 for an appointment as my numbers have been falling and anxiety and acting wierder than normal. So I give the lady the numbers immediately I go to the top of the list for appointments. She said this is much more serious so I see him next Thursday. Any idea what's going on. My sythroid has been the same for 9 years. Guess that's why the valium and xanax arent't working and I'm not sleeping and maybe I'm really not depressed. Wouldn't that be wonderful to know there was a reason they could measure or see on a Scan of why you are too anxious to go anywhere or be alone or a Scan to show it? I hope I'll be able to sleep tonight as I haven't been able to in a long time. And it's been getting worse hence my frantic threads. Love Phillipa
Wow Phillipa, I am amazed that your doctor did not discover this earlier. Weren't you on medication for your thyroid before? My mother has the same thing as you since she was in her 20's and she takes levoxyl?sp and she also takes only 5mg. valium per day.
I hope this is the answer to your anxiety problem; as a fellow anxiety sufferer I can certainly relate and how I wish in a way there was a medical reason for it that can be alleviated by a simple medication. I am cheering for you to get relief,
Love,
Val
