Around January time I took a blood test, it came back showing that I had an underactive thyroid, I was just so happy because for about a year I have not been feeling myself, I’ve always been a strong person but I became week, my hair is always dead, I was gaining weight but I didn’t know why (gained over 15 pounds in a few months), I went on the internet and google under active thyroid symptoms and I had them all..
I was so excited I could be feeling back to my old self IF I was put on the pills for it, BUT my doctor said to me, i don’t want to start you on the pills because I want to be positive you have it, He send me for another blood test (around March it came back Negative!!!… I was not happy at all with that, and I did not start my pills.. a month later (in April) I requested another blood test, again, came back Negative……
I am just so sick of this, I KNOW I have an under active thyroid, I am not myself, I am so weak, and everything. I know for the past longer than a year I’ve been not myself, my life feels at stand still, believe it or not I’ve not been out the house for about a year from feeling so ill, everyday is a struggle, a thyroid can affect nearly everything in your body. I know once I go on the pills (If I do) I will feel sooooo much better, but he won’t start me because the last two tests came back negative, but one also came back positive and if I didn’t have it how did it show up.
What can I do to make him change his mind, any other tests I can take. What can I say to him to understand how I feel.
Thank you for anyone who answers, I really do appreciate it.
