Morning Corkey,
Sounds like you are having major anxiety. I cannot say that your mital prolapse is due to being hyper, but I can say that many of the Warriors have it. Jake’s doctor told him his was from running hyper for so long and not knowing it.

Running hyperthyroid can damage the heart and cause various other symptoms.

The ideal would be to be able to level out and not run hyper OR hypo, but that usually cannot be achieved. Maybe some day they’ll get this disease figured out. By people getting proactive in their own treatments, we can only hope the penduelum will swing in y’alls favor!

Blessings,
Jan

Corkey,

I BELIEVE it is easier to treat hypothyroidism than hyperthyroidism, since the synthetic hormone we are given as a medication is much less stressful for our bodies (it is chemically identical to the thyroid hormone our own body makes).

That’s just an opinion, though.
