Q: Severe Dizziness

It started over a month ago and it got worse and worse to the point I felt like passing out all day and I could not even function. I thought it was my anorexia but I ate and ate and ate and gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks thinking it would help but it only got worse. I finially went to the doctors (barely even made it there, I could hardly talk was all confused and my vision was so blurry, I thought I was dying!!!) I got blood tests and found out I had low thyroid. I was put on the lowest dose and no improvement until yesterday, the 7th day of the pills. I was a little dizzy yesterday but had the strenght to make some soup and today I feel almost normal!!! Could low thyroid really cause a person to feel so bad, they think they are dying? The symtoms were bad. I honestly thought someone was poisoning me or something. Oh yea...I finially got my appetite back too!!! I am soooo happy that I feel sooo good again!!!
