Were you ever diagnosed with post-partum thyroiditis? I'm
interested because I've read that sometimes the thyroid can
recover and you can be weaned off the meds. I'm hoping that's
the case for me. I was actually diagnosed a few years ago with
borderline hypo after taking blood tests for infertility. I never
thought I had any symptoms and didn't take the medication seriouslyu
and after getting pregnant stopped taking it. Looking back, I did
have symptoms. This time was different. I went from having plenty
of energy but freezing, weight gain, swollen face to feeling like
death was near almost overnight! It was like being hit by a brick
wall. I'm just happy I was diagnosed so fast. Some people go years
without finding out what's wrong with them! That's my story - thanks
for listening!!! Feel good.
