Today is day 6 of my thyroid medication. I like to think that I am starting to feel positve effects from the medication even though everything I have been told or read says 3-6 weeks before you begin to feel the effects. Maybe it is wishful thinking. But maybe wishful thinking is part of the process. Also, since I first went to the emergency room three weeks ago, I have made some pretty big changes in eating habits. So maybe that is part of it. Less fatty greasy foods. Breakfast of a banana or oatmeal (occassionally eggs) everymorning. More chicken and turkey. I have even given up my favorite snack. Puffed corn. It is a little different than popcorn and I like it way better, but full of salt and calories.
It just sucks that I had to get really sick before I made the changes. They don't know what causes hypothyrodosm. But maybe if I had made healthier lifestyle and eating choices sooner.... I will never no, but for those contemplating change, do it now. It may not make a big difference, but any differance if good!!!
