I have been sick for the last couple of years.
I worked with a counselor, a Psychiatrist, my OB-Gyn and family Dr.
None of the meds or counseling helped.
I knew something was wrong with me.
I prayed and then I kept coming across the same subjects, online.
I instantly knew what was wrong with me though nobody really believed me.
I insisted on certain blood tests that I researched and my Dr. doubted I needed them but gave in.
Sure enough, my cholesterol was over the limit and I eat healthy and am 5'6 and weigh 140 pounds and am in good shape for my age.
That disturbed the Dr.
Then one of the other blood tests came back bad.
I went to the Endoctronologist and sure enough I have a disease which is not curable but can be controlled, thank God!
If I had not done my homework and researched my symptoms this would have gone unnoticed and would have left me with a destroyed thyroid and heart disease.
My thyroid is actually very healthy but my brain doesn't know it.
This is how the specialist explained it to us.
My brain is killing off and destroying my healthy thyroid.
When he said my thyroid has to be replaced, I was scared.
I thought he meant an operation.
It is the medicine that will take over and do the work instead of my thyroid.
Trust your instincts!!!

Oh, I agree with trusting instincts and researching. I was sure Grace had strep throat this past winter. She didn't have the typical symptoms but I had done a bit of online reading. I told the doctor what I thought and he rolled his eyes and said "Oh, you are one of those kind of parents!" He said it wasn't strep and would do a test to prove it. Well, guess what the test said?!! LOL
I'm glad you did your research and that the medicine will help your thyroid!
