Low Thyroid
OK, went to the doctor a few weeks ago and had a T4 test done...he says it came back low, but just BARELY low (i didn't see the exact numbers), so he reordered another test for me. I said to him, Isn't thyroid disease something that can get WORSE over time? He says, Yes. So I say, well don't we want to try to nip it in the bud? He says, well, before I give you medication you will be on all your life, I want to make sure.
I am just afraid it will come back low normal and he will say, oh you're all right! I have been having a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroid for a while, massive weight gain, dry skin, hair falling out, fatigue, low sex drive, and on and on. He gave me Celexa and said i was clinically depressed. I have been taking it for about 2 weeks and don't feel much better yet. I hope the test comes back with answers and maybe I can get treatment .
Anyone else have problems like this with thier docs?
