Living with Hypothyroidism and/or Hyperthyroidism

@AnimationGirl I'm new to 7 cups as well. I'm only 15 and I know what its like to be bullied . I'm here because of stress, anxiety, and eating disorders. And I feel like I can't talk to any of my family members because they wouldn't understand. I'm really young to be doing this but I need the help. anyways, If this doesn't help me, I hope it helps you.

I'm 38 with Graves Disease diagnosed 5 years ago. It can be difficult to manage. I understand how you feel.

@AnimationGirl I'm new here but old to hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed 5 years ago after meeting my now husband. I put on about 30 pounds and could hardly wake up. I used to be an insomniac previously. I still have sleep issues and was diagnosed hashimotos last year. The joint aches are atrocious and hard to explain to people. No one cares that half your skeleton feels like it's being crushed or is on fire. I get fatigued easily. I try to eat right and exercize but fatigue gets in the way. I eat things like salads and dotn lose weight. I would have to go on a liquid diet from a doctor to make progress. So I've gotten ok with how I am now. Immune disorders tend to stack so I have dealt with IBS as well. I don't know the difference between hypo and hyper as I've always had hypo. Having both must have been difficult... sometimes I feel like nothing fixes it!

I'm 40 and was diagnosed with Graves disease 4 years ago. They found it when I developed tachycardia and stayed in hospital for 3 days until they got my heart rate under control.

I've since taken the radioactive iodine treatment to obliterate my thyroid gland; only it didn't work completely. Now I struggle with keeping my levels normal and the weight fluctuations are creating a great deal of stress/depression for me.

I also developed a severe panic disorder, OCD tendencies, and agoraphobia. I completely understand the struggle. It's extremely difficult.

I have Hashimoto's that is well into the hypothyroid stage and only acts up a couple times year now. My anxiety tends to get bad when my thyroid hormones are out of whack; I can feel pretty well when I need it checked up on. It comes with feelings of coldness and deadness and lack of energy, and it feels really sick. I am not totally sure how badly it affects my mental health when I am stable on meds.

I've previously been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and as of yesterday found that my thyroid levels areout of whack again. I'vebeen cold, lazy, anxious all the time and just generally in very poor mental (and physicla health) Any advice withhow to deal with the mental implications from Hashimoto's...or other thyroid issues? @raspberryKitten7086

I'm 24 and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at 18. I've been told it's odd to be diagnosed before age 30. Both me and my younger sister have it. About 2 years ago, my thyroid was 4 times its normal size. Because it was getting more and more out of control, my endo recommended removal. When they removed it, it did have some nodules, but they were not cancerous. We're still working on getting the right dose of thyroid replacement. I guess if I had to have a chronic illness, Hashimoto's is a pretty easy one to live with, I'm just constantly aching and exhausted. Though on top of anxiety and depression, some days are really rough.

Im in my 40s and was diagnosed with Hashimotos 3 years ago. Fatigue/exhaustion, muscle aches, aching joints, weight gain (I cannot lose weight), brittle nails, and dry skin are some of my continuing symptoms even though I take thyroid supplement daily. On top of that I have asthma, migraines, GAD, OCD and depression.

If you have this problem, I can tell you a great medicine in which you can buy high-quality levothyroxine at affordable prices. Levothyroxine, also known as Thyroxine and Euthyrox, is a medicine used to treat hypothyroidism, also known as an underactive thyroid gland, which replenishes hormones that the body does not naturally produce.
