I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few weeks ago with a heart rate of 120. I was prescribed meds for hyperthyroid and also for heart rate, I can't get myself to take any of them. I had a specialist confirm the diagnosis and even still I am in denial. Like I will be fine with out the meds. I don't know what to do, I feel like if I take the meds they will kill me, and if I don't take the meds...well I'll be fine. I can't keep going to other doctors to get proof because it's in the numbers, I can see them for myself but at the same time my denial keeps me from doing anything about it. I don't know what I am afraid of. One thing is that the heart meds worry me because although my heart rate is fast (as far as they say) my blood pressure is usually really low like 80/60. It worries me that my blood pressure will go even lower and I don't want that. As far as the hyperthyroid meds, I just don't feel wierd. Yeah at times I feel a bit tired, but that is really it, unless being depressed on and off has something to do with it too. Either way, I can deal with both with out meds. Please help me figure out what I should do. They are really pushing RIA and I am surely not about doing that if I can't get myself out of denial in the first place. Thanks for all your help!

Hi MK:
You can also try surgery. I've been reading your other posts. I am not always happy and don't like what has become of me either. However, I will keep trying, because I believe that's my goal here on Earth. I've had several members in my family who did away with themselves in suicides. Was this their answers? Sometimes our thinking clouds our judgements of ourselves too many times and we don't think right when we are sick. Look for solutions in staying healthy. Many times we don't eat right or live right in this polluted planet that we become ill. {{{hugs}}}
