What kind of thyroid condition do you have? My family doctor keeps checking me for thyroid problems. She suspects I have hypothyroidism but my tests always come back normal.

I did the epilepsy test and neurology assessment too. Somehow I passed even though I had a seizure.
I know, I've been in the mental health system for nine years exactly now. It's just ridiculous(and that's being nice), I am astounded.

I have hypothyroidism. It was blatantly obvious from my blood work. Ugh. So needless to say in that department I'm feeling much better since I started taking medication for that.
