BOTR and others
I too was on the wrong dose of thyroid for about a year. Mine was too much also due to a clerical error., my TSH fell below 0. I have been on thyroid since 1994.the last year my hair stopped growing and my anxiety was so high anyone could feel it around me. I am seeing a new doc and wow my dose is 1/2 what it was and I am now less anxious This dose is too low but we are going slow, she is augmenting it with T3 , starting today. Hope that helps b/c getting out of bed has been hard to do. We shall see if my hair starts growing. I also am having to take my diabetes seriously. I have been dx'd for about 10 yrs yrs but now i am really feeling the effects of it. My A1C is not so bad but I am having spikes during the day, as in my sugars won't go down after meals. It appears even with diabetes meds I have to watch my food carefully. The doc gave me a Tupperware plate partitioned into fours and said I got one day a week off. This is really miserable. The diabetes meds I have tired are Byetta( worked for year then stopped) and now Bydureion and Victoza. all have side effects. She has added a new pill that will help control the spikes. I hope some of this works as the next step is insulin. She said insulin will make you hungry and you'll gain weight. I'm gaining anyhow. My mom had this disease and she got gastroporesis among other things.
I wish was not having to see doctors. I am so tired of pills, I'd like to just throw them all out. I had a dream about 2 weeks ago telling me my day of death, was 2/2/17. This was printed on a card and there was another card behind it. It seemed to be telling me I had a choice. I hate it when I have those creepy dreams but they do happen.
glad you started this group Grace. So many of us need a place to talk .
