Hi Jen! Sometimes I don’t check in daily, so sometimes I’m late with replies, but I always respond to anyone in this group when asked. I pretty much let the BB be there for people in crisis during the most acute phase of this illnedd…It does get better.
However, I too suffered with the rash/hives/itchiness esp. during the hypo phase, but even now I itch! And the depression is my worst memory during this time, too….A big, black hole that you can’t seem to crawel out of no matter how hard you try…All you do is cry…I went on paxil…and trazodone for my insomnia complaints and with my thyroid and estrace, it seems to be ok for me. No more “D”‘s..darkness, despair, depression, near divorce (yuk, yuk), disintegration…I could go on and on…but I’m sure you know the words yourself.
Keep me posted on the results of labs and what your endo said about thyroid…Thinking of you…Rachel
