I too was just diagnosed last week. I’m frightened and unsure what to expect. The endo prescribed the tapazole so I would feel better in a couple weeks. I fainted a week ago in the morning, I understand the post about the mornings. I was wondering if anyone else feels like they have crushing feelings in their chest with this or lightheadedness and pins and needles in their arms, ringing in ears? I’m not even sure why I feel indigestion . I too was very active over a month ago and now I’m shaky and weak and scared. I had major hair loss back in July 2013 with facial and scalp rash and burning and several periods where I felt shaky and weak. I saw primary care. dermatology, and even rheumatology to check for lupus. And then suddenly 10 days ago these symptoms started and I ended up at primary care and endo for testing. What could cause this? Supplements? I just joined the forum so I will read around, I’m scared like I’m sure many of you are. Please let me know if I will get better.
