does anyone have thyroid problems? can be very frustrating because low thyroid can make your metabolism so slow not to mention the other usual symptoms with it. i walk & jog & over the past 2 months ive actually put on 20lbs. not unusual when thy meds need adjusted just very frustrating. what pisses me off so much is i had a thy test done back in the summer & it never made it to my docs office i had blood work the other day & the lady that takes blood told me my last test was high which if the thy is underactive the number goes high. well my meds need adjusted months ago & now my thy is even more sluggish. doc bumped me up another notch from 75mcg to 88mcg. he wanted to go to 100mcg but i told him i didnt want to end up with overactive so we agreed on 88 & my thy is getting tested again in a month. they typically want to do these tests once a year which is so stupid point is they need to be done once every 3 months my doc even said this today i never realized how much a role the thy plays in the body i even keep coming up with low sodium levels & cholesterol a little high & this can all be caused by low thyroid not to mention the metabolism goes to operating to nothing so nothing is getting burned i could see if i sit around & do nothing but come on i post in the ed forum for compulsive exercise! not to mention it messes with moods thinking to where a lot of people describe it like they feel like theyre losing their mind which i know cuz ive had all these & when u got mental illness anyways it can just throw a person into a complete zombie. oh well when i was very first put on thy med my dose was 50mcg & weight started dropping then when i got pregnant it was raised to 75 so ive never been at the 88mcg level which i thought it would be wise instead of skipping to 100mcg. im just glad i have a doc that listens cuz a lot of people say their doc act like they dont care when it comes to testing often enuff & regulating doses. ok done with rant
