1st question
Last night, my DH and I were at a comedy club. We ate dinner, I had a sex on the beach, and then the show started. About half way through the show, I got really hot - like I was sweating sooo badly. I did not throw up, but I got really sick to my stomach. I got dizzy and stuff. This has been happening for about a year and a half - my doctor told me not to worry about it. But now it scares me. Does this happen to anyone else??

I do have hypothyroidism. I am currently on Synthroid. I have had a lot of the symptoms that I had before I was diagnosed. Brittle nails, cold all of the time, dry skin... ANy advice??

Thanks!

Amanda

Hi Amanda,


Welcome to our board.


I guess my advice would be to seek another opinion.

My primary doctor had me in for a cholesterol blood test, but I guess they did not test for my thyroid levels...which now I am mad about. I take my synthroid on an empty stomach and I follow the directions, no eating for 2 hours, and no vitamins for 2 hours...so I don't know. I got really dizzy and it happens on and off. It is not usually after I eat...it is usually if I have gone for a LONG time without food. I don't understand.

I always keep gum drops in my car with me...it has happened where it has gotten to me while driving...that is scary.
