Hashimotos symptoms

is it normal to be depersonalised, feel like you can't communicate properly and have headaches from Hashimoto's disease??

  Hi  I had some of the things happen to me that you are describing.  Before I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid, the doctors told me that I had anxiety and panic disorder which can be caused by your thyroid.  I felt like I was never in my body.  Kind of like an "out of body experience."  My senses were off as well.  Nothing seemed normal.
  Later on they found out that my thyroid was off and started treating me for it.  The desensitization has gotten better and things in that regard seem to be returnin slowly to normal.  I stopped taking my paxil and xanax.  It just wasn't for me.  Everybody tolerates drugs differently. You will be amazed at all the things that a dysfunctional thyroid can cause.  It can really mess you up.  It can take a long time for you to feel well.  Some people feel better right away.  For me it has been a long slow process that I am still dealing with.  Good luck.

Just going through the motions.  Yeah that was/is me.  I have had headaches off and on the whole time.  Sometimes its like pressure in the top of my head.  I would strongly suggest getting on the brand instead of the generic.  It works much better from what I understand.  What is the dose of your medication?  Also how long have you been on it?  It sometimes takes a while for it to start working.  You should really try and get a copy of your lab work with ranges and post them. Just call and ask the doc.  They have to give them to you.  They belong to you.  They are your medical records. There are a lot of wonderful people on here with good advice.  But all info is needed.  Good luck.

If you are on a generic brand of medication, you might have your doctor switch to the real synthroid or levoxyl.  Generic brands are not always consistent and can play havoc on your thyroid.

lol. yeah i'm on levothyroxine but its not doing anything, unlike what my dastardly GP promised: sooooooo giving him the evils right now. i don't know about my TSH though; he said it was severe particularly for my age though. did you have like something pulling you back from situations and being kind of robotic to things? Are your headaches like a pressure to? And atleast we can blame it on something hey

thank you my dearest

I to have hashimotos thyroiditis.  Antibodies are really high.  Are you on any medications for this the hashimotos?  How is your TSH?  I know how you feel.  At times in the beginning I had some problems being myself.  I also have headaches.  I associate all of this with the disease.  I don't have anything else to blame it on.  LOL
