Hypothyroidism Support Group
Hypothyroidism is the disease state caused by insufficient production of thyrohormone by the thyroid gland. There are several distinct causes for chronic hypothyroidism, the most common being Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism following radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism. Advanced hypothyroidism may cause severe complications, the most serious one of which is...
i started my new dose increase on Wednesday. i am feeling squirmy again, like i am coming out of myskin and i can't stop moving my arms.
I am not feeling well, mentally or physically. I have been experiencing stress at work and where i live. I ache all over. Oh and today when i washed my hair Soooo much came out...is this from my levo increase??
I have been going to the gym three times a week. I enjoy my walks on the treadmill even if i can only walk slowly. I don't want to do anything after work but go home and be alone.
I am feeling very depressed. I am a cancer survivor of two rare cancers and even though i survived, i am stuck dealing with this and other medical/emotional crap. I honestly wish the cancer would've just taken me sorry to be so negative but this is the only place i can share these things and not feel "judged"...
I also feel like just NOT taking my thyroid meds anymore.
Just not in a good place right now :((

I'm not judging you...not at all. However, if you continue to have negative emotions that impact your health, perhaps counseling could benefit you. They can teach you ways to deal with stress and the emotions that impact your health. And...they *do* impact your health.
Hang in there TC40...
And I've been there with the "to be or not to be" thing; still have it off and on. I could try to talk you out of it but I am not trained in influencing a person on such a heavy level.
I think MButterfly is right, if we're not helping you enough please see someone that can. Do you know that my psyche (yeah, I have one) has been telling me how your brain does change and rewires as you start coming to grips with a problem you're having. It can actually do that. Amazing in a way, makes sense in another way.
Counseling isn't for crazy people...it's for people who are having great challenges in their lives and want to get better. It takes a good deal of courage to seek help.
The neural pathways normalparanot is referring to can be rerouted and new ones created simply by talking about it...learning coping mechanisms...and sometimes medication.
Many of us have been there... don't wait too long.
Losing hair, feeling like you are about to shoot thru your own skin like something out of Alien, and hurting all over is definitely thyroid - hypo to be exact.
The dosage increase *can* make you feel like you're about to go into orbit...but it will pass with time.
Hang in there...
It can also be easier on your adrenals. Just sayin!!!
