Diagnosis
I'd had surgery before. I'm comfortable in hospitals. Usually understand medicalese very well but this time around I had family with me. I wasn't sure I'd ask all needed questions, or remember the answers. I just didn't trust myself.
This was not fix it surgery and feel better. Nothing really hurt. This was removing an essential organ that s endangering my life and learn to live on thyroid hormone, https://www.synthroid.com. Somehow I expected that to be simple since insulin is a hormone and has to be adjusted all the time and thyroid doses are more stable.
I hadn't counted on the hypothyroidism period I would go thru, how slow the ladder effect to go up on doses really was, or what the side effect of hypo or hyper thyroidism are and how greatly they they affect your life!
