Sorry, you are not feeling well. And your marriage is getting hurt.

Why don't you look for professional help, such as a psichologist and rule out that is not depression. And he may also talk to your husband.
Of course, there is help and solutions out there. Do not think negative.

If you do not have a health insurance there are other resources available.
like social services, or community health centers.

I wish I knew more about your symptoms.

I would deffinantly get a second opinion. Overly active thyroid could change in the matter of days and possibly stop producing a chemical balance to your brain causing an extreme change in your mood that can be harmful to yourself. So with having a problem with your thyroid in the past it would be best if you went to see another doctor to get a 2nd opinion and get some help in controling the issues that you are having now. Good Luck.

to me it seems as though your hypothyroidism has come back worse than ever. I suggest you go to your doctor to be tested.All the symptoms you have are suggesting hypothyroidism.

ever thought it could possibly be post partum depression..you did just have a baby and your body goes through some wild changes..i would think all of those symptoms could be side effects of that.

HI. I HAVE SO MANY OF THINGS YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. MOOD SWINGS, ANGER, MIGRANES, TIRED ALL THE TIME, ETC. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CLINICAL DEPRESSION, PANIC DISORDER, ANXIETY ATTACKS. I AM DEALING WITH MY SISTERS DEATH AND MOM IS AN ALCOHOLIC. I WOULD TALK TO YOUR DR BECAUSE MAYBE SOMETHING IS BOTHERING YOU.

Good thing I caught this post. This sounds to me like a clear cut case of hypoglycemia, which was likely at the root of the supposed hypothyroidism. Luckily, if you have this, it's easily treated through diet. You can PM me here or ask questions in this thread so others can see. What are you eating currently? Do you remember any symptoms from when you were younger that were strange (weird fainting spells, flu-like symptoms sans temperature, etc.)? Do you notice any differences depending on what you eat (if only for a little while)?

I am so sorry you are suffering so much. Hang in there and work at it you will find the answers you need.

I read the replies posted for you, and most may have some benefit for you. The symptoms you listed are very similar to those of hypothyroid, the question is why low thyroid function. During pregnancy your baby can actually helps supplement thyroid for both of your benefits. There are a lot of questions that need answers before you choose a path.
Have you had your TSH, T-4, free T-3 levels checked recently (when)?
How was it determined you were hypothyroid when you were younger, what did they do for it, how much did it help?
Are you eating any foods that harm thyroid function, ie cabbage, broccoli, spinach, turnips .......?
For your information thyroid hormone has a vast number of functions within our bodies from helping convert beta-carrotine into active vitamin A, to helping give you a healthy smarter baby, just to name a couple.
There is some evidence that not all thyroid hormone is created the same, without boring you on the chemical explanation, reverse T-3 may compete for binding sites with the regular (good) T-3. If this condition exists medical tests would not distinguish between good and reverse forms of T-3 thus showing normal levels of the hormone but actually show clinical signs of hypothyroid. Read Denis Wilson's book (Wilson's Syndrome).
Thyroid hormone is made of Iodine a mineral and Tyrosine an amino acid (a building block of protein). Conceivably low dietary levels of either could give you similar symptoms. DO NOT SUPPLEMENT WITH EITHER THOUGH, work with a DOCTOR on this. Both iodine and L-tyrosine can be dangerous under certain circumstances.

You should also be aware that your symptoms may be indicative of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Check out spam link for some good info on that. One of the more successful treatments for CFS includes low physiological doses of T-3.

My suggestion for you to try for three weeks or so is simple, safe, and surprisingly effective. Oh ya it is also basically free. Stay away from all caffeine (it dehydrates you), eliminate all soda pop. Start your day with a pinch of sea salt on your tounge and wash it down with a 16 oz bottle of water. Drink at least four more bottles of water through out the day, and prior to bed wash a pinch of salt down with about 10 oz of water. In addition if you avoid sugar and high gylcemic index foods and replace them with proteins and low glycemic index carbs you will have a great start on getting better.

Good luck!
Smile God loves you!
Let me know how you are doing and what helps.

Hypothyroidism does not just go away, and it sounds like you still have it. It could be other things as well, but the fact that you have a history of hypothyroidism makes me think that it is the most likely problem. My advice is to see another doctor, you don't need to live this way! Getting your thyroid checked is a simple blood test (which you should've had before), and if it turns out that your thyroid is normal, there are lots of other things that could be causing these symptoms that you should discuss with a doc, postpartum depression being another that no one else has mentioned. Good luck, I wish you the best.
