I think it's like that with all of our symptoms.  It's amazing to me some people can just go through thyroid problems and not even notice anything.  I have a friend who had thyroid cancer and had her thyroid removed.  I asked her what symptoms she had, and she said "I don't really remember any".  I asked her how she felt now and she said she was tired for 2 weeks after the surgery, but regained her normal life right after that.  How does that happen?  I wish I could be one of the symptom free people lol. I believe you weren't so lucky, but it's good you didn't experience the anxiety.  It's not pleasant.

I have never had anxiety with my thyroid issues. It is strange how some get it and others don't.

Great article!!!!  Might have to show this one to my endo LOL!  Anxiety is the one symptom he doesn't believe is thyroid related.  Even after I spent months graphing anxiety levels and thyroid levels...only to prove when I turn hypo the anxiety rises.  He thought it was a coincidence! UGH!

But seriously, cool article.  Very informative!!  Thanks for sharing!!    =)
