General thyroid question?
| Fri, 09-17-2004 - 10:51pm |
Ok does the thyroid and its medicine work like a teeter-toter? ok so the right side is up and I'm Hypo so we medicate to level it out but if we over medicate dies the left side go up and now I'm Hyper? I think that image works, Did that make sense?

I can only tell you what I'm going through right now. I've been diagnosed as HYPERthyroidism. I've been taking medicine to slow my thyroid down. Two weeks ago I found out that we, the doctor and me, have slowed it down too much--now HYPO- Now, I'm taking less MGs of drug in order to balance it out and beginning this last Wednesday, Sept 15, I feel like I'm back in fourth gear with the brake on (back to HYPER). I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow. I'm here tonight, looking for support for those who are HYPERthyroid suffers.
It is nice to know there's some place you can go (this board) where everyone understands what's we're going through!
