Hi,
I'm Julie.
I've been getting symptoms of hypothyroidism for many years, mainly unexplained weight gain, frequent depressive episodes and terrible insomnia.
I've also suffered from mood swings and very heavy and painful periods.
I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for 14 years, but only yesterday, having visited my gp yesterday, he said blood tests I had taken 3 years ago, which I was told were normal, had clearly shown that my thyroid was underractive.
He's sent me for more tests, finally.
I'm wondering, and always have about the bipolar diagnosis as is he, as all my symptoms when I read your site are just me to a T.
It will surely be a very bitter pill to swallow if I was to find out I've been treated and grossly over medicated for 14 years, but I can't turn the clocks back.
My main question is, if my results again come back suggesting I do have hypothyroidism, will treatment alleviate the weight problems ( which prior to the commencement of drug treatment for a disease I've never been convinced I had, and more importantly the terrible and crippling fatigue and insomnia be helped if they get the levels right.
Sorry to warble on, I feel that perhaps the solution is in my grasp soon, but I don't want to be over hopeful.
Thanks for listening 😀
