[negotinka]

i.ve had thyroid problems for 2 years.first treatment was done with medication which brought my numbers to normal.i was sent home told i was now normal but it came back 6 months later.then i was treated with radioactive iodine that whole process lasted a year until i was feeling normal .i also now have to take synthroid for life.through all this i felt 'normal' for only 6 months last summer since then it's only been down hill.any stress no matter how little i feel like it's eating my gut immediately without too much thougth to my problem my body takes over the stress. i'm tired all the time my knees hurt,my legs hurt,i have touble falling asleep when i do fall asleep my sleep is irregular i can't get enough sleep.i have headaches almost all the time my headaches are all around my eyes.most of the time feel like i my head is in a cloud i'm very forgetful i.m constantly looking for misplaced things i lost my phone and my wedding ring plus 2 rings it's been 2 months and i can't find  them this is really stressing me.i have gained weight  during the past 2 years my eating is all over the place one minute i want sweet then salty then spicy nothing satisfise me.i'm sooooo moody my menstual cycle is all over the place .my pms cycle lasts for 2 weeks i feel like i'm going crazy i. can't keep my house clean the way i used to i can't do anything the way i used to . i prefer to be alone most of the time.i feel like crying most of the time and i feel depressed because i can't look after my house and family the way i used to.my whole family has noticed this because i don't have them over the way i used to.i was on anti depressents for 5 years i got off them 2 years ago when i complained to my doctor about all this he said if i don't feel better in 3 weeks i need to go back on them.i'm confused i don't know if i'm chemically imbalanced again or if something about my throid,the treatment or the synthroid is causing this.if anyone out there isfeeling like me i would love to hear from you.

Well if your DR wants to say its nornal then make him explain why all this is happening to you.

Hi, Unfortunately I'm not too good on how all the treatments work, so you will have to wait for responses from the more experienced people here. But I do know one thing, I was told for more than a year there was nothing wrong with my thyroid and my test results kept comiing back normal, even though I had all of the symptoms. My tests have finally started to show changes, but they still can't treat me until my thyroid settles high or low. So I am still getting all the symptoms and they are truly awful aren't they, so I know how you're feeling. Sometimes you feel like you're going crazy but your not, people here have helped me so much by telling me it's all down to my thyroid. So even if your results have come back normal this time, it doesn't mean to say they will next time. And if I were you I'd insist on more frequent testing, 6 mths is a long time to wait.
