Re: Underactive thyroid - July 28th 2024, 10:25 AM

I was diagnosed under active when I was 10. My doctor discovered it after I fainted in 5th grade lol. I honestly didn’t know I had any symptoms till I started taking the medicine for it, which is when I noticed I had fatigue, weight gain, mood imbalances, and difficulty focusing. They told me I’d have the issue the rest of my life and I’ve been on medicine ever since. I have to get lab work done every 6 months to a year to make sure my levels stay stable, but they do go up and down at random and aren’t always the same. As long as they stay under or over a certain amount though, it’s okay. Even if elevated a small amount over normal, my doctor is still happy with that.

We all possess resilience, we just need to realize it.
