Can you describe your symptoms with hashimotos?

[Brucergoldberg]

One of the main things my friends always ask me is how do I feel?   I try to use words to describe how I feel with this illness.   Words can not describe regardless of how I hard I try.

Can you?

Are you still only able to take a small dose of the thyroid medication or have you been able to increase it?

[Brucergoldberg]

Ive. Had every test known to mankind.....I've been on thyroid for 19 days Now and feel much much better.  My tsh was 22.  It's a long hard road out of hell

My endocrinologist said that my primary care physician has to test for my iron and cholesterol so I have to make an appointment with him.

Have you ever had an MRI and MRA of your brain?  I don't have the feeling of stars going around my head (I'm sure that's annoying) but I do have dizziness so I had an MRI/MRA and I have to get a second opinion because it showed some abnormality. It sounds like you have hyper symptoms like I do. I've read that with Hashimoto's when you're having an episode of thyroiditis you're more likely to experience hyper symptoms. Is your TSH still high?

I cant even imagine the PMS on top of this.  coco, i think you had an iron issue, are you taking steps to get that taken care of?

Remember the cartoons that when people got bonked on the head it would show stars going around in a circle above them?  That is how i feel.  ALso i feel like someone turned up the power in my body.  I shake so bad sometimes I have to take a xanex to relieve it.

Crawling out of one hole and falling into another one....

Once one symptom is gone like tachycardia then the dizziness starts, that stops then I get anxious but I don't get a break once the anxiety stops because my stomach wants to start bothering me....oh, and when I have PMS the Hashimoto symptoms like to get worse.
