First thing the Doc noticed was my Thyroid seemed a bit large. He said it was a goiter if I am not mistaken. They did a CBC & Platelet Count, Basic Metabolic Panel, T3 Free, T4 Free, and a TSH Screen.

I was prescribed 10mg Inderal but I have not taken any. I was worried if In still have asthma and I forgot to tell the doctor. Is it possible that the swelling can go away without the need for any medication? I have not felt like myself this whole month and I seem to be extra sensitive to anything I consume. My allergy pills that I use to take in the past never made me drowsy. Now when I take them I get extremely drowsy. Could that be due to the goiter? These past few weeks I have noticed an irritating ringing in my right ear. About every other day I hear it. My heart palpitations have not been nearly as bad.

I forgot to ask the doctor theses questions because I was out of my mind. My memory was horrible and I honestly couldn't think at all.

If you are able to answer every question to assist me then I'll give you the best answers!

Thanks!

I currently suffer from major depression, anxiety, panic attacks the whole nine yards. I also developed Agoraphobia/social phobia over the years as a result my panic attacks and im sure my history had a lot to do with this condition too. I have made plenty of efforts not to be this way anymore more but nothing seems to work good enuff. Ive tried therapy,meds, ive tried even desensitizing myself, meaning i even tried just facing my fears and trying to get over it . Ive made some progress i will admit that but the problem is my issues is affecting every area of my life from being a mom,to relationships, to be able to hold down a job. And to make things worst i don't have a lot of support either which makes this more difficult . As i said before the problem is not that im not making progress its that my issues is preventing me from living a fully functional life. i Have no job and every time i get one i cant hold it down cause my issues, a child that needs me financially,emotionally, and Very little support. Im FRUSTRATED and dont know what to do :.( I feel useless as a mom being this way!!!!

I know I'm asking alot..? http://www.xiaoxiaoschool.cn/other-health/anyone-with-a-thyroid-problem-or-goiter-taking-levoxyl-or-generic-with-memory-loss-i-know-im-asking-alot/ http://www.xiaoxiaoschool.cn/other-health/anyone-with-a-thyroid-problem-or-goiter-taking-levoxyl-or-generic-with-memory-loss-i-know-im-asking-alot/#comments Wed, 25 Aug 2010 21:45:47 +0000 http://www.xiaoxiaoschool.cn/other-health/anyone-with-a-thyroid-problem-or-goiter-taking-levoxyl-or-generic-with-memory-loss-i-know-im-asking-alot/ But I've been doing alot of research online about goiters. I am 23 years old and have normal levels (euthyroid) but have a 23mm goiter. I now take Levoxyl 50mcg/day. I was on 88mcg then 75mcg but my body cannot tolerate it. It seems like lately I've been losing my mind. Putting things "up" so I won't lose it, then completely forget where I put it. I don't even remember putting it there in the first place. Zoning out at bad times…like when driving. I can't even function without my pocket calendar, something I've never used until last year. Work schedule, doctor's appointments, wedding showers, ect.

I feel so not myself anymore and it's really starting to scare me. I am also on medications for my migraines, but this has been happening way before I started taking migraine meds. I don't know if these pills (Neurontin 900mg/day and Elevil 10mg before bed) are making it worse?

I have an ultrasound next month to check the goiter. How much bigger would they let it go if it's already 23mm? Advice and help is greatly needed. Thanks!

How can I get out of it? http://www.xiaoxiaoschool.cn/other-education/work-experience-what-do-i-do-how-can-i-get-out-of-it/ http://www.xiaoxiaoschool.cn/other-education/work-experience-what-do-i-do-how-can-i-get-out-of-it/#comments Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:42:03 +0000 http://www.xiaoxiaoschool.cn/other-education/work-experience-what-do-i-do-how-can-i-get-out-of-it/ I'm in Yr 11 and recently got told I can arrange an interview at one of my placement choices. But I cannot do it. I literally mean it. I'm already goign through some tough issues with depression and paranoia. I bluntly refuse to seek help from it, I cannot let anyone know that I have this. My self esteem is incredibly low and I have slight agoraphobia. But my parents keep pushing me into arranging an interview and I keep thinking that no work experience= failure at life. What should I do?

its caused by someone thats missing in my life, this i know for a fact
but… its more like having someone to talk to, a shoulder to cry on if u will, yet counseling never worked for me since the session had no real meaning in me
if anyone says to find a girlfriend, they can **** off
To me, the word "girlfriend" is short-term, in which they can leave and then im worse of that when i started
i want security, emotional security
problem is im a heavy introvert, almost borderline anti-social, the fact that im typing this even surprises me (and please dont suggest a dating site, to me, they are too shallow and what im saying goes deeper, deeper than what any psychologist will understand(even my current psychologist cant understand what i mean and hes ready to retire))
it also doesnt help that i have no self-confidence, i show no true emotion but when i do (like crying to release the pressure), i feel no different as if i could cry forever
have i thought of suicide; yes, but ive always had something that gave me hope and to this day, i still dont know what that thing is
whatever i do to try and force myself to actually try to meet new people, i cower away and watch from a distant corner

can u imagine a person being like this for over 10 years?
how can i break myself of this burden without giving myself self-inflicted agoraphobia?

i feel like i ll have better luck explaining this here than with my family, hoping someone like me has found a sort of 'solution'

The last time i saw a therapist was in October, Where i was told i need monthly reviews (those tests you do with the tick boxes). Because of my illnesses i'm claiming disability (lower rate mobility atm, although i'm eligible for more), but as my doctor hasn't re tested me or anything apart from giving me my tablets (it's my GP) They don't believe i'm as bad as i am. TBH i'm not really bothered about the money, but i know that i get depressed and suicidal and then hyper and indestructible, something i KNOW they'll pick up on if the monitor me properly. Even the therapist hasn't got in touch. Now i'm in catch 22, I'm at a low right now, but i'm due an high soon (they both can last up to 3 months, but i'm either one or the other), i'll do stupid stuff while on an high and really want the help i need, but if i go and demand re testing and new therapist appointments i know the doctor will think i'm only trying to drug score or defraud the benefits system. I've been trying to get help with it for years, and it took social services being called and me almost losing my daughter for the doctors to take me seriously and treat me, which btw stopped most of the problems why the SS were called in the first place. Should i go in and force them to listen to me, and point out that it's there fault i wasn't helped properly in the first place? Or should i just carry on with it?
