Really real life
Aug. 26th, 2015 05:24 pmOkay, so last Wednesday, my doctor's office calls and tells me I have slight hypothyroidism. Okay, no big deal, right? I know lots of people who take meds for that with no problem. I go get the medicine, Levothyroxine. I take one Thursday and all is well. After a couple of days I notice that I'm pretty restless at night but I'm still sleeping and I get cold, which is so not me. I'm almost never cold. Okay, still nothing too bad. I notice a little belly cramping but even that doesn't seem so bad.
Yesterday - well, the shit hit the fan. I didn't rest well and felt a little out of sorts when I got up. Belly still crampy, then the anxiety attack hits with shoulders and chest hurting and skin crawling. Then my face turns red and I'm on fire. Heart is beating so hard that I can feel it all over. It passes though the uneasiness doesn't nor do the cramps. Went to bed at midnight and had anxiety and all the rest ALL NIGHT LONG with no sleep. Called the doctor at 8:10.
Attack finally over but I'm a rag doll with almost no brain function today. Finally got a little nap while hubby mowed the yard.
No more of that crap for the foreseeable future. I go back in two months for more bloodwork and we check again.
I did not read the side effects sheet because my mind sometimes gives me side effects when I know what they are. BUT from now on, I will let Larry read the sheet for me and watch me when I take a new med.
