Something random about me

As we speak I am sitting at the doctors office. HASHIMOTOS THYROIDITIS. Yep, that's what they call it. After I had Ms.Gracie I was getting really dizzy. Once it thought I was going to pass out going down my parents steep stairs while caring the baby. It was then when my mom wouldn't let me do anything until I got to Dr.Southwick.

When I told the doctor my symptoms, he thought I was really dehydrated. Come to find out, my thyroid was five times the normal rate! At that time they put me on synthroid for a few months until I went hypo instead of hyper with my thyroid. They took me off but couldn't seem to regulate it.

So, four years later I am trying all over again to regulate it. I had been on synthroid for a few months. It seemed to be working fine, but last month I started having heart palpitations. I handled it for a week, but then I got scared. My new doctor her in Dallas took me off, and the palpitations seem to have calmed a bit, but is still think that currently my thyroid is hyperactive. They say the heart palpitations came because of an overdose of hormone between the synthroid and my natural hormone.

So, here we are again. Will it be up or will it be down? And will it ever be normal?
