Please don’t get ahead of yourself.
Let the doctor tell you instead of worrying in advance. Not all worries come true.
I take the darn thyroid pills, too but for hypo, not hyper so I have a thyroid left. But why can’t they successfully replace the hormone so it’s like the one we used to have produced by our bodies? Who knows. Woman I used to know at work changed doses at doctor every six months or so but most people stay on one dose for years.
See if brand name or generic, or the time you take a dose, or drink a full glass of water and no eating for 1/2 hour vs. an hour if that makes a difference. I was told by another patient that an endocrinologist knows more than the regular MD. Haven’t tried that yet. And losing some pounds takes the pressure of the dosage-—BUT you can’t lose with my type at least. A struggle to not gain.
Be calm and set yourself apart from the cares such as your husband’s career. You have to think about healing yourself and being relaxed. Stress upsets the thyroid balance.
Thyroid mood swings make that hard as I know. Who would guess that one small gland would do all that harm to our emotions and bodies?
I’ll be praying for the very best for you. Stop worrying and leave this to God and the doctors, in that order.
Best.
I have been on synthroid, levothyroxin, tirosint, armour thyroid and nature thyroid. All have varying degrees of hell, armour thyroid being just slightly less worse than the others. I follow the instructions on how to take them, so that’s not the issue. My body just really hates artificial thyroid hormone for some reason. I looked it up and know i’m not alone with the side effects. It’s pretty messed up.
