Hi Everyone... My name is Kelly and I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 21. I have been on every drug you can imagine for this disease, my levels were never "normal". Now 25 years later I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and type 2 diabetes. I said to myself..."Are you freaking serious?!?!?!" I have…

I have the worst time with losing so much hair. Swear to god it looks like I drowned my cat after a shower. My best cure is well...I cut off all my hair. Not only for that reason but also easier to clean after surgery. What solutions or cures have you found work?
I was hoping someone here may have some insight to TOM and Hypothyroidism. Sorry if this is TMI and long, but I am frustrated beyond belief so I am grasping at insight from anywhere! Backstory: I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 8 months ago. Before this diagnosis, for a year I could barely function physically, and…
