I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism back in 1999, by an endocrinologist who was pretty progressive back then. He did the full
thyroid panel, as I recall, and put me on
Synthroid. The
Synthroid made me feel anxious, and I did not continue for very long. After a few months, I stopped seeing the doctor. I’ve been having, what I now know to be thyroid symptoms, for years, but just started getting help from a doctor about 1.5 years ago.
