Does anyone else with hypothyroidism feel like every molehill is a mountain? I mean everything is exaggerated!

Question

Please tell me that I am not the only one to feel so frustrated and emotional at little things.

Answer 1

Sounds like you aren't on enough medication or are not on the correct medication. The reason I say this is because I am hypothyroid. Before treatment I was very moody and everything bothered me. Once I got diagnosed and put on medication, I got a little bit better. Eventually I wanted more than a little bit better and read up on the topic. I learned to seek out what I wanted and eventually I got on Armour thyroid and almost every hypothyroid symptom is now gone. I suggest you read up on the condition. For some, al it takes is to get the morning TSH to around 1.0, for others it means switching to a med like Armour or Thyolar. I'll put some great thyroid links below

Answer 2

Even with medication, some symptoms of hypothyroidism happen. I still have an intolerance to cold, have sleep problems, and difficulty maintaining my weight. Most doctors treat only the T-3 or T-4 aspect instead of both.

Answer 3

Hypothyroidism can make your energy levels very low. But are you not getting treatment? Thyroxine supplements are available in allopathy and homeopathy. Other homeopathic remedies are also available and hence there is really no need to suffer.
