This is my journy to wellness from hypo hell. I hope that whoever reads this will learn from my story, my history, my mistakes. It has been a long journey, encompassing my whole life; 53 years. It started before my birth, and I am, in the last year, coming out of my lifelong hypo hell. "Modern" medicine was no help. They tell you that you are "normal" and send you on your way unsatisfied, or they tell you that it is all in your head (will slug next doc who says THAT) and that you need an AD, or they might say your thyroid output is low, so now you need synthroid - Synthcrap is a better name for it. Doctors also don't acknowledge adrenal problems unless you have Addison's or Cushings. Personally, I would rather see doctors acknowledge and treat BEFORE you get to the point of Addisons or Cushings. Their approach lacks common sense. Anyway, I now have a good doctor who is working with me, rather than dictating to me, and I am on my way to wellness. As I have more info I will post more on my personal journey in hopes that it will save someone out there from the lost years I have.
