Thyroid doing my head in

Well as one of my last posts said, I have now been diagonsed with under active thyroid.
It explained a lot and for a day or two after being put on thyroxin everything seemed so much better, but now I just feel tired and run down all the time.

We seemed to have a bit of a break through with Megans reflux, I took her off all meds as the docs were useless and waited it out, seemed to of calmed down and i guess is still better than what it was, but she is always in bibs its driving me mad.

Lee seems a bit fed up, we went through a really really bad patch but it seemed to get a bit better, but im constantly falling asleep, we used to go to bed and read or talk and now im falling asleep on the sofa before we even get to go upto bed so obv everything else is out the question too (sorry), so I feel he is getting really fed up, I say sorry, and he tells me he completely understands but it feels wrong.

Megan is teething very very very badly at the moment and she is constantly whinging, I love her to bits, but sometimes I feel like I cant cope, I get annoyed with her but then get upset because I am annoyed with her and its not her fault.

Just needed to get this out as I have a feeling that when Lee walks through the door I would just cry, not something he wants as soon as he gets in.

I guess on the plus side im waiting for news on the arrival of my new niece Darcie, but cant see her till Lee and I are better

Thanks for reading

Hi Nat,

When did you start your course of thyroxin? What dose are you on if you don't mind me asking and how regularly are your bloods being tested? The reason im asking is it sounds like your dose needs upping as its not enough. I had this at the start, im now on 50micrograms a day and have been since the beginning of this year. Once the proper dosage is sorted, then hopefully you will be feeling better and things wont seem quite as bad

Good luck hun, and call your gp to let him know how your feeling, he may well do another blood test to check your levels

Hiya

Hey

I only started it 3 weeks ago, I missed the blood test during pregnancy and got told that it didnt matter so was never rebooked.
I have a blood test booked in 2 weeks, im on 50mg of levothyroxin.

i have spoke to the docs when I went with Megan and they have told me to stick it out. stupid people!!!

Thanks for the good luck, never looked forward to a blood test so much in my life lol

Oh hun,
Sorry 2 hear ur havin a crappy time. Not much fun feelin run down. As u know Im havin my fair share of it at the mo.

Must b hard with a young one n the thyroid problem. U take care. Im sure Lee understands hun.
all the best. mummyand2. xx

Hey hun,

We all have those days where you just feel like you cant cope, espically when they are teething its a nightmare! When Rosie is really bad i usally give her calpol usally on the evening if she is really suffering but in the day i give A&P Powder or Teething gel but the other day she wouldnt take bottles as she was so bad, so calpol came out and she wasnt so bad. I seen my doc today for more gaviscon for Rosie's reflux and mentioned about the week i had with her last week and she said its probably due to her teething! Just cant wait to see a tooth now, all this pain they go trough! Glad that Megans relflux is getting better though

I think havin a baby does put a strain on relationships, it did with us at the begining as we were both so tierd and not used to it and we just used to snap at each other, even now we have our days. Once Megan is down for bedtime maybe once or twice a week just make time for both of u to sit down and talk etc. We usally put Rosie to bed, Have tea, chat and then i go on here or watch TV lol and he goes on Playstation!

Hope ur well otherwise
