Its funny how by just reading a few posts here that I can totally relate to so many of you! It is true that no one understands Thyroid Disease until they've had Thyroid Disease!
My name is Sonia, I am 31 and I was diagnosed with Hypo/Hashi's last year. I'm working with my PCP, Endo and Holistic Psychiatrist to treat my symptoms. For years I thought I was mentally unstable...just turns out that my "episodes" were just my hormones going on a roller-coaster ride from hyper to hypo. While there is some relief knowing that I'm not crazy, I don't like the word "disease" and knowing that I am stuck with this for life makes me a little sad.
I'm on a mission to better understand what is happening to my mind and my body and look forward to learning from all of you.
