In reply to the discussion: I was driving to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned today... [View all]wnylib
(21,420 posts)50. It was a hell of a struggle for me
because I had the typical thyroid brain fog so I had to work through that to find the facts that I needed online. I knew something was wrong and had to figure it out myself. At its worst, my eybrows nearly disappeared and my thick hair got thin. My face puffed out like a full moon. The skin around my fingernails got hard enough to use nail clippers on it, as if the skin was nail, too. I slept constantly and felt exhausted when awake. Had chronic muscle aches in my back and shoulder.
Yet the doc kept saying I was fine because my TSH was "within the guidelines." I went from being an active multitasker to a zombie.
I lost a career because of it and had to put my life back together when I finally got it under control.

And to think that, what do they say, like 1/3 of all Americans have a thyroid problem?

Someone in the public eye - or "ear" so to speak - should have the right to say such idiocy.
