MODS don't just read the FUCKEN TITLE READ THE FUCKEN POST b4 U FUCKEN DELETE the topic  

I have Hypothyroid and I have known for about 3 or 4 yrs now I was being treated for it but U just gave up. I understand the severity of what I am doing. I just want it to stop. These are only a few things that can happen if I continue to dis continue my treat ment.... My father asked me just yesterday if I was taken my meds for it again and I told him know and eh looked at me and said.

" My father.Your grandfather just had a heart attack, he is going down hill rly fast, I will have to bury my father soon I don't want to have to bury my youngest daughter along side him..."


Oh yeah and My mom had a heart attack yesterday...


Ok so I'll explain to you Y I have chosen to stop treatment.

1. When I take the pills I get rly sick and it makes me feel as if I am dying

2. I have told my doctor about the feeling that I get wen I take the meds and she told me it was all in my head that I am just being defiant

3. I am scared that I will be diagnosed with thyroid tumors

4. I don't want to have to take pills for the rest of my life, knowing if I stop treatment after 10 yrs of taking the meds I could die any given time

5. I forget that I have to take my meds... like u have to take the pills at the same EXACT TIME EVERY DAY


Is Hypothyroidism Serious?

The presence and severity of symptoms are different for different persons. Although many symptoms of hypothyroidism cause distress, most are not dangerous themselves.

Indeed, proper diagnosis may be delayed or missed in older adults because the symptoms are considered "just part of getting old." An individual may not seek help until tiredness, impaired memory, or other symptoms have affected daily living so much that a family member or friend asks them to see a doctor. Others may go to a doctor only when physical changes such as dry, flaking skin and facial puffiness have become obvious.

Need To Know:

Untreated hypothyroidism can have serious consequences over the long term:

* It may result in severe depression and, over a period of time, mental and behavioral impairment.

* The most severe form of hypothyroidism is myxedema, which is characterized by swelling of the face, tissue around the eyes, hands, and feet. Left untreated, this may progress to even more severe symptoms of hypothermia, which is a severe drop in body temperature, seizures and ultimately coma and death.

This need never occur with proper treatment.


The other major factor to consider in assessing how serious hypothyroidism is in any given individual is the presence (and, if so, severity) of associated health conditions.

Wow, I'm really really sorry.  But are the pills really as bad as you say they?  Is not taking them really worth risk you just described if untreated?

At times I wonder and yes the pills are that bad. Wen I am on the pills I get migraines, I am tired 24/7, I am always feeling like I need to puke, If I eat it can only be in small portions like if I have a sandwich I have to have it cut into 4's and eat 1/4 every so often b/c it will come back up....

I get moodier wen on the pills too so Its like Y bother?

IDk I asked my doctor about another med besides the one she prescribed but she tells me that the symptoms r in my head, so she wont prescribe any other meds...

So I just stopped going to see her and taken the meds Its a lose lose situation either way I look at it....

I can live my life w/o the pills and get sicker or go day by day feeling like I am 6 feet under.....

Treatment of Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is usually quite easy to treat (for most people)!  The easiest and most effective treatment is simply taking a thyroid hormone pill (Levothyroxine) once a day, preferably in the morning. This medication is a pure synthetic form of T4 which is made in a laboratory to be an exact replacement for the T4 that the human thyroid gland normally secretes. It comes in multiple strengths, which means that an appropriate dosage can almost always be found for each patient. The dosage should be re-evaluated and possibly adjusted monthly until the proper level is established. The dose should then be re-evaluated at least annually. If you are on this medication, make sure your physician knows it so he/she can check the levels at least yearly. Note:   Just like we discussed above, however, this simple approach does not hold true for everybody. Occasionally the correct dosage is a bit difficult to pin-point and therefore you may need an exam and blood tests more frequently.  Also, some patients just don't do well on some thyroid medications and will be quite happy on another.  For these reasons you should not be shy in discussing with your doctor your blood hormone tests, symptoms, how you feel, and the type of medicine you are taking. The goal is to make you feel better, make your body last longer, slow the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis...in addition to making your blood levels normal!  Sometimes that's easy, when its not, you need a physician who is willing to spend the time with you that you deserve while you explore different dosages other types of medications (or alternative diagnoses).

if youre doctor wont get you to other treatment you need to do two things:

A: get a new doctor. if u have any form of health insurance whatsoever one can be found for you for free, very easily.

B: once youve got the situation better under control, you need to take very document you can find on the treatment of this diease and get this doctor's liscence revoked, and quite possibly have them arrested for immoral treatment of a patient and malpractice.
