I keep my thyroxine in my bedside cabinet. I also take a bottle of water to bed with me. If I wake up early I take it then.

Although the anxiety is better feeling like I'm a bit out of control if that makes any sense, having what I can only describe as surges of something? agitated a little, moody, scared.  Wish all this would stop

I think you need to talk to your GP about the thyroxine timings explaining that you need to eat to stop the anxiety surges.  Maybe there is some lee-way with this?

Hi Mrs P
I've just been thinking I should ask to be refered to an endocrinologist so that i can be sure I'm on the right dosaged of thyroxine and that they're not missing anything.

How are you doing Mac? How many out of 10 this evening?

[mac]

Not so good tonight LM, very lethargic, sad nausea a bit better, hope it gets better soon.
Probably a 2 out of Ten, maybe I'm expecting to much
How are you?

If the nausea has improved that's a huge plus  .  Listen to your body, if your body is tired rest!

My points were 1-5 ......... I wrote them on the calender daily so that I could see how I had got through the previous week.  What a bind  - better now, it took time but I did get there - so will you!

[littleminnie]

I'm ok Mac thanks.
The tablets haven't had chance to work yet Mac, they will work.

Hi mac,
         How are you? I've read your posts and there seems the tiniest positive, perhaps you can't see it yet but others reading them can. It will be gradual but everyday you will get the tiniest bit better. I am feeling a bit better from AD withdrawal so as you can see it is positive just slowly and surely but I do know that you just want it to all get better now but it will. I don't think our bodies heal like that. AS far as me it is gradual getting worse so it only makes sense it is a gradual getting better.
YOU WILL GET BETTER.
KEEP POSTING IT HELPS ME TO

Felt ok when i got up but its gradually gone down hill Got everyone ready to go out to the celebrations, managed one walk around the park and that was it back at home.  Couldn't do it, don't know whats wrong with me There was a lot of people and noise it never used to bother me.  They did say that the AD could make the anxiety worse to start with but it would get better.  feel so sorry for my family and sooo guilty.

Mac

Don't feel sorry and guilty you can't help the way you feel. If there was something wrong with your family you would help them too. I think people have far more sympathy for physical than mental things cos people seem to think that mental problems are catching.
Perhaps it was too much at moment for you to go out and just getting ready to do something is exhausting. I find that if I have acute anxiety I can't be in a busy place with lots of people, it makes me worse and I have to put an act on which gives me more tension. Just do what makes YOU the most comfortable at the moment. Listen to your body and if some situation doesn't seem right don't do it. Don't please anyone else at mo but yourself. All medication has different reactions with different people. I am very sensitive to anything hence withdrawal of AD but I am also affected by hrt taking it and stopping. If the AD is making you worse just keep telling yourself that soon it will be making you better.
I am sure all your family want is to see you better which YOU WILL BE.

You managed some of the walk . Guilt is the hardest thing too, the feeling that we are letting others down.

In 1999 I was very ill one C.mas and had to go back to the Hotel that night, therefore not opening gifts with his family as was the habit, oh I mean tradition  .  When I walked into *my* Mum's house the next morning she asked what sort of evening we had had and when I told her I had to leave, her words were:

"So you spoiled it for everyone else".  No, if they couldn't have a nice evening without my being there that was their problem  .  It wasn't as though it was a deliberate act on my part ..........

Little steps 

[mac]

Went for a snooze when i got home. Have just taken our daughter for a slepover at her friends, I didn't drive, but went for the drive, beautiful afternoon.  Asked hubby to stop at a shop so i could get some water, walked in, it was very busy, managed to get what i needed, waited in the queue, with no problems?
Don't know what to night's going to be like as hubby is out with friends, so it's me and our son, hope i manage

I can relate to your experiences. Since I haven't been at work since Xmas my colleagues kindly took me out to dinner last night. I had worked myself up to a frenzy and by the time I got there I couldn't eat and had to leave after an hour. I felt so guilty.
Today my sister took me to the supermarket. This is the first time in 5 months I have been in a large shop and it was so overwhelming I had to leave the trolley and came home in a right state.
Burst out crying when I dropped my ginger and lemon teabag on the floor which I was attempting to have to calm me down ! What's that all about?
Yes hysterectomy and sudden menopause have a lot to answer for but for goodness sake I have turned into a mad woman. My partner and daughter think I have totally lost the plot.

Hope you all have a much better day tomorrow.
Cheers

You sound as if your having an awful time, a hug from me.  What a horrible 24 hrs for you, are you taking anything to try and help you?  This is my second week of work, the longest I've ever had off since starting work at 17.  You haven't lost it, its just a terrible time for all of us, but we have to believe that there is an end to this, otherwise their would be a lot of women out there that have lost it

Hope you feel netter soon.

Macxxx
