August 19, 2012I was diagnosed with Graves' disease yesterday and I'm freaking out just a bit
A very high percentage of females deal with some type of thyroid problem. I have Hashimotos disease, another auto immune thyroid disorder. Yeah one day I won't have a thyroid (body is stupidly destroying it), all that means is I have to take a pill everyday. I take levothyroxine, which is the generic of synthroid. I have no problem with it, except every so often i have to get my dosage increased. No big deal, side effects are just listed as precautions and almost never happen to you. Most likely you felt worse before you took the pill, with an undiagnosed thyroid problem and all. Welcome to the crazy thyroid club! More on reddit.com
