Well after being on the PTU for about 3-4 weeks I have experienced some different things. It seems as if my motivation had came back and I had a little bit more energy…..Well then it went overboard, I have felt reved up and ready to go and fight the world. Had some car issues with purchasing a used car and spent 2 irrational hours of fighting with the dealership, something I would have never done before. I feel as if I am crazy-literally. I literally can’t relax until I am asleep after I take my clonazapan(sp).

I went to the cardiologist today, my heart is healthy he did say I needed to get the thyroid under control and the endo’s office was right below his, he suggested I go in and talk to them. I went in and they moved my appt for 1/11 to 11/2….they saw my need.(I was crying and shaking very bad). thank you lord. I cry and am happy all at the same time. This is one crazy disease, my dad is starting to notice he needs to help out when I start to get to revved up, but I don’t listen. catch 22…I hope this doesn’t sound crazy. If someone could please respond and let me know this is the process of the disease I would greatly appreciate it. I already have benefited so much from this forum, just by letting it express myself. Thank you so much.

Oh sarah, this is truly from the disease!!!! High then low, crying yet happy. Crazy yet crazy… ummm wait no, umm feeling crazy but not crazy..Yeah no never mind in my case its feeling crazy but still crazy. I deserve to say that since I have 4 kids! LOL
Everything you are feeling is normal!!!! It stinks, but it is still normal. So glad you went to the Cardio and kudos to him because he said you should stop in to see your endo!! Good dr. for suggesting it, most wouldn’t.

Tell your dad that this is normal and try to keep him in the loop as much as possible, even have him come on here to learn more if need be. It will help him understand that this isn’t "you". You might even get angry with him and lash out, again this isn’t you and it will get better.

I will suggest that you DO NOT make any other serious discussions until your levels are under control. I am hoping the dealership didn’t take advantage of you, if they didn’t you never know who might if you have to buy something else. It was just something I learned when not feeling myself. NEver make or do anything that might end up badly in the future.

Keep us posted, don’t worry about venting…that is why we are here!

Hi, Sara,
Lots of people on this board identify with what you are saying. This disease is so tough because it affects every part of you–not just your body, but your mind as well. Though I was diagnosed last March and have been on ATD’s since then, I am not fully stabilized and still have ‘those’ days. That’s why I love this board. Even though we don’t always have answers, we can relate to and understand the many concerns expressed. As you have probably noticed, there are lots of folks on this board (bless their hearts) who have gone through this and assure us things WILL get better. Sending hugs and best wishes and looking forward to better days ahead for you (and me, too)!
Joy
