Hey. I'm seeing an endocronologist b/c my first blood tests didn't come out right. I'm suffering from depression and the doctor should rule out any physical problems first. The thryoid is the only organ connected to the brain and little do people know this could be the problem. Im 21 and I might have a thryoid problem.. I have the bug-eyes.. All the side effects.. So check with your doctor please! I'm still waiting on my results!

Try not to worry, I know, easier said than done, I know a lot of people that have thyroid problems, their are a lot of great meds for this situation and it is fairly easy to get it under control you just have to have it checked periodically.
Sincerely,

I really would not worry much either because im 19 and have been taking synthroid for my thyroid and everything is normal now. Of course you will have to take this pill evertday the rest of your life! It's a drag to remember but your health will improve 100% ~ Laughing
