If you didn't eat too much junk food before THIS awful roller coaster ride, you'll be OK!
Sarah? Have you had your 'autoimmune T3 & T4 levels' tested? I'd been hypo for a dozen plus years and then it all went sideways! That was happening concurrent with a pneumonia and that use of 'antibiotics' which all caused havoc in a 1,2,3 sequence...took a year to happen? Took 2 years to diagnose [Hashimoto's] ! Don't take it litely... can you go see a good endocrinologist? These docs 'DO GLANDS'! And, nothing but...so they'd see things a GP mite not?
Snookie? Sounds like your doc is not doing 'just' the basic testing. Good for you and thank him/her! That you'd been tested for possible 'Lymes'?' Could make things more complex or maybe, because of prior testing? Easier.
Both of you? Keep your heads clear as you can and LEARN as much as others here have to offer! And then? Avoid PANIC at all costs! Keep it all in perspective? YOU can still walk talk and eat! You are not on a respirator or worse? Soo, fight for what you've got? HARD. And don't ever despair, if you do? Folks are here!
