Thanks for the bunch of GAs and best wishes for your health:)!
As others have said, I too know a person who had his thyroid removed and after a period of dosage adjustments got back to a fully normal life. So, it sucks to have these issues but at least treatment exists and works (thankfully!!)

Happy early C-Day and very happy to hear some good (though bad-ish) news about your health!

All the best to you and your family. Hope the pills allow you to get back to normality. 👌

The good news is hypothyroidism is easily controlled. My thyroid barely works, but the sythetic (synthroid or levothyroxin) is a pretty cheap medicine, and levels are easy to monitor with bloodtests. I figure there are lots worse problems I could have. I guess good luck, but don't worry about it too much. Mine was diagnosed about 5 yrs ago and it's good. I changed my habits, got better sleep, exercised more, lost weight, and ate better, and that helped alot too in conjunction w/ the medicine/hormone I think.

Hey, I have it too (but don't take any medication yet), it's not that bad, there are indeed worse things in life. It just needs to be managed with a healthy lifestyle. Check out some scientific studies on the connection between gluten intolerance and the thyroid, that might help.

Sorry to hear that - but at least it's not cancer :)
Good luck with treatment!
Happy cakeday!

On a side note for those of you who have wondered where I disappeared to for the last month...I have been having alot of health problems lately and went to the doctor for a bunch of testing. They discovered that my thyroid was not working correctly anymore. I had to have a sonogram of my thyroid to rule out cancer. Thankfully it is not caused by cancer! I have been officially diagnosed with hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto's disease. I look forward to this one little pill making me feel better but there is a catch...I have to go in for level testing every 6 weeks so they can adjust my dosage if needed. Did I mention the pill comes in 12 different dosage options? Oh well it could always be worse! Have a great weekend.
UPDATE
Happy Birthday to me! It has been three weeks since I started the pills. I have seen a big improvement in my energy but still not where I used to be but every bit helps when you have two kids to run after. One thing I'm really happy about is that my hair has stopped falling out and I hope that continues. The pain in my legs and feet have went from everyday to just once every 3 to 4 days now and is no where near as severe. The big downside is that this past week and a half I have experienced several dizzy spells. Dizziness can be caused by the thyroid not working correctly but is also listed as a side effect on my pills...so not sure what is causing them right now. I have three more weeks before I return to have my levels tested and can only hope for the best. Although I haven't replied to every comment rest assured that I have read them all and appreciate the shared info on experiences and well wishes. I hope you have enjoyed this month full of giveaways!
