I've had it officially for three years, but have lived with "low" thyroid for a LONG time. I got through college and still did really well. I have two children and a great career. Some days are worse than others. "Normal" is a relative term, and I'm not sure what that is anymore.

I'm not going to lie. The "thinking" thing drives me CRAZY. But I just try to laugh about it. I'll be in the middle of a conversation talking to clients, and I am fumbling for a word that I can picture but can't remember. People are usually pretty cool and understand. We are still very intelligent people. Don't let this disorder or the way your body functions define who you are. Your body just works a little differently. You are so much more than your dumb thyroid!

That said. Sorry for the lecure! Are you taking the generic or name brand Synthroid? I have tried both, and the name brand worked SO much better for me than the generic. Just a thought.

Take Care!
