Don't freak out! It is overwhelming, hard, and kind of scary right now I know...believe me I know exactly what it is like! I went over 15 yrs without a proper diagnosis so I totally know what is flying through your brain!
- You need to build a support system...if you don't have friends/family that will be a good support to you then find an online support group! There are lots of good ones on Facebook!
- Spend time on www.stopthethyroidmadness.com.
- Find a good Dr and by good I mean an integrative or functional medicine Dr! They look at the source of symptoms and not just the symptoms.
