Womens problems
Hi,
I'm new here. I was diagnosed with severe hypothyroidism about 6 weeks ago, in fact the doctor said it was one of the worst she had ever seen... I am 24 years old and i was feeling like crap all year until i finally went to the doctors when i had a panic attack and was suffering from severe twitching in the muscles in my legs, thighs, bum and arms. I started on 50mg of levothyroxine and it has been recently put up to 75mg. I had a period last month just after i started taking the medication, but so far this month there has been nothing, not even a sign of it. I'm feeling a little worried and stressed about this now. My doctors are rubbish, in fact the 1st one i saw told me about the hypothyroidism and said the rest of the blood test results didn't matter and when i went back 4 weeks later a different doctor told me i was pretty anaemic and also there could be a problem with my kidneys. I feel no one around me really understands how i feel when i try to explain what is happening with my body, especially my boyfriend. I've lost my sex drive completely, i think my boyfriend just thinks i'm lazy or that he is the reason i dont want to sleep with him-even tho i have said countless times it was me not him-even before i had my diagnosis.
I feel so sad and lonely and want to spend most of the time hidden under my duvet. I also put on a stone and a half and it's really hit my self confidence and i feel that i am at an all time low. Anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to feel better?
,
Katie
