Funny story...
I'm a high school teacher and this morning some girls were talking about their relationships with their mothers. One girl in particular was going on and on about how her mom was "nuts." All the other girls were saying "oh, you should meet her mom, one minute she's fine and the next she's whacko!" So I go on and explain to them some things about being a mom of a teenage daughter and how WE have it bad too! Then the girl says ......"well, it all started when my mom had thyroid cancer several years ago and got her thyroid out. That's when she went nuts." I about fell out of my chair. Who woulda thought?????
Her mom probably has the ups and downs and not regulated after all these years .. poor women ..... and yes, our precious little babies will say things as teens you will not want to own as the words being theirs ... I have a 17 and 15yr old ...... it isn't in the textbook!
So the next time you see this mom at a school function I know where your eyes will be looking ....trying to see the scar
Too bad you cannot get her over here ........we could certify if she is nuts or not and help her heal.

Oh how I agree with you!
I recently found out that my work nickname at my last job was the White Tornado. I could dance circles around anyone. At times I would go so fast I had to stop to catch my breath. Talk about nuts.
Now I've down shifted and I'm in low gear many days...and I don't care for it much.
I prefer the old me because that was my way of life. This is not me at all.

Unbelievable! I can relate though! Amazing how my own family think I am just a hypochondriac and a nervous nelly. I was always so strong and full of life and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound all the while answering the phone, make cakes, and clean the toilet! I just can't get through to them that I really am sick, that my anxiety is not contagious, and that a nap every 20 minutes is quite normal for me....We've got a long way to go before people really understand us Thyroidians!
I no what you mean about being an athlete. I used to be in track, a cheerleader, marching band and on the color guard. Now I can barely stand without shaking and I am only 27. I am still gaining weight and I don't no wear to put it all. I just wish my man would understand. I am a bit sensitive and I do sometimes talk till blue in the face with no results. Thats why this forum is so awesome because you all can relate! I sometimes just want to walk out the door and not come back but then I think how am I going to get to the door! lol

I can relate to everything you say. I've been an avid runner all my life and since my TT I can barely walk a mile and I'm winded. I keep saying "okay, today I'm gonna do it." I put the shoes on, I warm up and then I start jogging and go 1/2 mile and I feel like I'm going to die. This from someone who could run 10 miles in December without breaking a decent sweat. Yesterday I tried to manage a walk and my knees felt arthritic, my heels hurt, and I could barely breathe I was so outta breath. I hate this. My doc says it'll pass but I think he's a moron. Just like that girl in my class with her big mouth!
That is so disappointing to hear a girl say her mother is crazy after going through CANCER. What a horrid little person. I'm sorry, that is just not OK and makes me really, really mad! The thought that my baby would ever be so callous and inconsiderate makes me nauseas. What is the matter with people!?!
I get that all the time... why dont you go to the gym or go and sit in the hotub!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA HOTTUB??? Why?? So I can get the heart palps and feel even more lightheaded than I already am and send myself into more of a downward sprial!! They dont get it and thats why I just dont go there anymore. If they arent entailed to learn more about this disease or what we are going through on a minute by minute basis, then why should I bend, flip and skip around these ppl to get them to GET IT ALREADY!!! I got enough on my plate and today I am not serving the whole "why dont you understand" or "let me sit here till Im blue in the face until you get it!!!" Not on the menu this evening or ever!!! We stopped serving that awhile ago!!!
Yeah, the other bad thing is some days I really DO think I am crazy!! Maybe I do need to get on some AD!!?!?!??!?!
My sister keeps telling me how much better I'd feel if I just started a rigerous exercise program. I was trying to tell her yesterday that I can barely move from all the arthritis/joint pain/fatigue/whatever the heck all this stuff is post TT & RAI. I'm not sure what's causing the latest hip joint pain. Whether it's the introduction of the Synthroid, getting off of the Cytomel, the calcium/Vit D levels that just never seem to come up and stay up, or if I'm just getting some strange bone cancer from the RAI... :O... But walking my daughter to the school bus in the mornings leaves me out of breath... A rigerous excercise program???
I know the feeling about the husband. Mine just thinks I am lazy! What can you do. I hear, other women can handle being tired why can't you, spiel every other day! That's life, living with hypothyroid! I wish more people were educated about hypothyroid, even those with it! Doctors should be more informative to there patients and I am a strong believer of going to family counseling when something this big hits home! I am mean the women had thyroid cancer, I feel sorry for her because her own daughter thinks she's nuts.

I know, I swear my hubby thinks I am nuts and I am positive a offended a doctor this week. I am just so thankful for this forum - it's been the only way to find answers for me so far. I hope you continue to heal well and take care of yourself! :)
I'm having a decent day. Just frustrating as we all know. That story was just reality as to how some ppl see us!!!
LOL - I hope you have a good day today MK! :) I like venting here, I don't have to hear my husband say it couldn't be that bad or anything here!
