Hypothyroidism Support Group

i feel like this as well. i feel like i am in an 80 year old body and i am only 30. i will get my latest blood test results tomorrow. how are your numbers looking?

I so understand!!

The way you put it says it all:

"I feel like my life is passing me by."

I also feel this way but never thought to describe it in those words.

I work full-time and have 3 kids. I have such a hard time getting out of bed in the morning because I feel more tired than when I went to bed! I get the kids off to school and go straight to work. When I get home in the evening it's all I can do to make it through supper and maybe look over things the kids have brought home from school or some other small chore like starting a load of laundry. Once I sit down, I'm done for - I fall asleep right in front of the TV!!

This is no way to live!!

I'm sorry I have no advice for you. I just wanted to share that I too am going through this.

Hugs,

~Bdancer

number normal but i feel like shiteeeeeeeeeee


bdancer thanks for sharing good to know im not alone im 29 and feel like an old lady some old ladies round here and fitter than me amkes me so mad what a shitey diease

I know how all of you feel. The last few days been so tired that I slept twelve hours and got up and today can go right back to sleep. I've been off work for a while and will be returning soon. I'm just so scared since I'm not sure how my body will react to this. Any suggestions?

more exercise vitamins and healthy diet wit lots of zinc found in sea kelp and brazil nuts try to sleep less and check with ur doc ur thyriod levels r ok they may have to increase ur meds i still feel over tired so cant help u much but i dont understand how shit it feels

Wow. I really wish I could get my husband here to read this and believe it!! He just thinks I'm crazy. I think bdancer is living my life. I too have three kids and a full time job and a house and two dogs......you know the story. How crazy is it to add this to the mix of everyday life!!

Consider checking out the Iron/Ferritin levels as well as B-12 to know if these are dragging you down besides being hypOthyroid.

Take care... :-)

i have heard taking vit b12 works i take it and cod liver oils still feckin tired doc says my levels r fine but hardly can stay awake so sleepy ruining my life 2 be honest hate it

i feel this way every day! my nibers are always coming back as ok, but i never feel well.

When your doctor says "Your levels are fine", and its all in your head.

Okay is the doc looking at only TSH? Is the doc watching your Ft4 and Ft3 levels? Ft4 should be in the upper 1/3 of the range. This will cause the Ft3 to raise. Low Ft3 is associated with depression etc.
