> You remind me of me as when I took my first synthroid for hasimotos almost threw it up and gagged. Felt my body had failed me. What happened when you stopped the synthroid. Mine is hasimostos too autoimmune one. Phillipa<
Actually I had been on synthroid for 10 years when I decided to go off it.... I don't know, something just said- in my head- that it was fake and I was being tricked. So I quit taking it a couple months before I had my yearly blood check for the thyroid levels. The doctor called me in a few days after the blood work test came back and he got so angry with me :o( He said my levels where dangerous and I should NEVER EVER stop taking this, that I must take it the rest of my life. Well, I don't recommend anyone try that kind of strategy I tried-- as I believe that was the beginning of several clinical-depression episodes... it was very horrible.
So you have Hashimotos too Phillipa. <3<3<3 (--> those are supposed to be hearts, seems they look more like ice cream cones with this font!) How's it going for you?
One day I told my former T. as he said I self-sabotage a lot-- I told him.. "Gee.. it seems even my body is against itself, as it has attacked it's own thyroid and has rendered it useless."fl-flutterby
