I am feeling extremely irritable and angry i am having serious thyroid issues...i am feeling very ill. I have body aches, fevers, diarrhea, dizziness, and noone will help me. My thyroid dr won't call me back and my regular dr tells me to keep trying my thyroid dr. I feel like screaming and crying. I feel abandoned. I have been to the urgent care and the ER and nothing has been done. I am so broke from medical bills. I am feeling awful mentally and physically. I wish i could just die.

I'm sorry for that. I've always found a reason to live, like showing those stupid doctors. Thyroid problems are serious since they can cause symptoms of psychotic mania. That's no fun at all.

I asked my thyroid dr. She said there was no point since it was rendered dead and useless.

Thank you Sun for your kind words.

I am currently so nauseated that i can't lay down. And im supposed to be up at 6:30 it is going to be a rough day tomorrow :(

I'm also sorry about your struggles... I'd be angry, also...
I also agree to be that squeaky wheel... hopefully the specialist will return your call soon!

I'm so very sorry you are going through this! Medical bills are the icing on the cake! Try not to worry o r get worked up. It never helps.

I really get your thyroid distress as well as abandonment. I had thyroid cancer. I've been thru massive hypothyroid, the low, almost dead side of metabolism.

The thyroid is crazy powerful! Crazy! And doctors don't get it. He'll, if they "got it" they probably could not practice due to disability! When I had thyroid cancer I fired 2 doctors in 6 months! Actually, fired one as a positive way to show with her abandonment.

For temporary relief, cool showers might help. Dress cool. Keep the room cool. Don't exert yourself! Rest! In bed with a book or movie. Drink lots of water and fluids.

Stay away from things that irritate.


Take and record your temperature a few times a day. If you have a fever, show it to them.

I know I've said too much. If it doesn't help fuhgetuhbiutit.

That should be, I fired her, to empower myself and cope positively with her dismissive, shitty and lazy treatment of me.

Best of all, I survived.

I am sending my best healing thoughts your way.
