Close Hypothyroidism
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism about a year ago. At the same time, my sodium was dangerously low (124), all due to the medication Trileptal. Trileptal was great. I was stable and in good health. I finally felt like I could manage my life. I don't know a lot about how it feels to have hypothyroidism. I know all the technical stuff - I'm a nurse. But I don't know what to expect.
Treatments
- Synthroid Too Soon to Tell
- I'm tired all the time. Working nights doesn't help, but after two months on it, you'd think that I would be feeling better.
Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I was diagnosed with PTSD in 1999, although I've had it most of my life. I grew up with two very emotionally abusive brothers....and sometimes physically abusive. When my father died when I was 14 and I found him after completing suicide, it kind of sealed the deal. I've always had the nightmares, the reexperiencing, the hypervigilance. I've been in therapy ever since my diagnosis and we are slowly chipping away at it. I am now much better than I've ever been.
