I suffered for years, was told I was lazy, called names by - TopicsExpress



          

I suffered for years, was told I was lazy, called names by physicians, 5 physicians later I was finally medicated and treated. Its been and up and down battle ever since. Each new year has brought a new challenge. I am learning to be at peace knowing that some symptoms are only able to be eased, but some can be lifelong struggle and balance. Half of the physicians in this country are not even up to date on the new diagnostic standards released 11 years ago in 2003! The best advice I can give to those who may be struggling with Thyroid illness is be as much of a self advocate as you can, know what your lab values mean, be up to date. Anything over 3 TSH is too high. Rapid weight gain, brain fog, sleeping hours upon hours and not feeling rested is not normal! If you ever need resources Id be happy to share (y)
