anxiety

[thyroid man]

every body with anxiety should have your thyroids checked if u haven't already! b4 being diagnosed with a low thyroid I had anxiety about going to the grocery store! My anxiety slowly went away after taking thyroxine. Please have your thyroids checked!!!!The thyroid can make a confident person into a wreck.

Yes, your Thyroid is so important to check. I discovered that I am hypothyroid. My TSH was normal but my T4 and T3 was not. In my past experience, dr's usually only test your TSH. Be proactive and ask for these tests. I think especially those of us with some kind of mental illness have our T4 and T3 (I may have missed one) checked as well as vit b, iron and vit d. This is from my experience.
