Thryoid Battle Day # 32

A few rough paths in the past week. It's now going on 32 days without synthroid. My head is taking a severe pounding on the upper right (frontal area) not so much temporal. It woke me up in the middle of the night and hasn't gone away. My sleep pattern is becoming intolerable. One minute I'm exhausted and can't stop yawning yet lay down and try to sleep but cannot. Yesterday I just kept eating all day long, like every hour as opposed to the nothing but a bowl of soup the day prior.

I have had 3 or 4 spells of crying, uncertain if it's due to the drop in hormones or the reality of life's difficulties I am passing through. I continue my praying, my church and writing (when I can, sometimes head hurts so bad it stops me.)

Agoraphobia is kicking in and kind of frightens me a bit but I know it's all part of the anxiety and symptoms etc, eventually (I hope) this too will pass. My feet are at the coldest they've ever been. This is extremely uncomfortable and yes the cold (body temperature) is hitting me now. The cold has overpowered the hot flashes from the menopause. I'm back to wearing 2 sweaters and a shirt, 2 pairs of socks & booties for warmth & at times when I'm not typing.

SO, with all that said, (yes my fingers are cramping from cold) I am doing my best at fighting it but in reality I know I'm not, I just have to keep going each and everyday until I can get back on the medication. Who knows maybe I will be the new spokes person for hypothyroidism and learning to cope without any meds? LOL

Till tomorrow or very soon........ Neena44
