No wonder my TSH-worshipping endo said my BP was a bit high. Asked if I wanted med for hypertension and I said no. Last thing I need is more pills. Strange thing is my BP is normal at the family doctor's clinic and the acupunturist's. May have to do with me taking my desicatted thyroid med before my endo appointment or what they call 'white coat hypertension'.

I never had high BP....until I started dealing with endo #2. She, too, wanted to start me on BP meds. Instead, I monitored my BP at home and shared the log I created with her. That wasn't good enough and she insisted I follow up with my GP....who diagnosed me with white coat hypertension.

Of course we'll be tense when we're seeing TSH worshipping doctors - we're fighting the fight of our lives since they prevent us from achieving wellness.

Sorry to hear so many others have these horrible hyper symptoms when hypo. I didn't even have them when I was "naturally" hyper ala Graves'.

I have clinically LOW BP. I sometimes ask IF I am alive when they measure it! LOL
All the symptoms of palps and anxiety I have had for years though, which are traditionally thought as as "hyper" symptoms..I have had Hashi's for years according to my endo, as my thyroid is half missing..and the other other half is badly honeycombed!
I know with Hashi's it can range from hyper to hyper..oh what a ride!!

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
