Hi everyone, just wanted to say hi. I'm new to this group and just wanted to get to know some people that have hypothyroidism and hope to learn some new things. I also have other medical problems too but I won't bore you with that right now. Just introducing myself for now and want to read some posts. I look forward to getting to know all of you.

I never realized how serious this condition was until I got it. I guess that's probably true with most things but not as obvious as say cancer and such. I used to hear people talk about it and I never thought it was a big deal. Boy was I wrong Sad

I never did either until I had it, it is not fun at all. I am never the correct temperature....I have to ask my son, "is it hot or cold or is it just me?"

Hi mammy, Welcome to our little group. We are all in the same boat I guess. I am glad you introduced yourself. I am Yvonne. I have hypothyroidism and bipolar disorder. Feel free to read all you want and ask questions. Someone is always around to help.

Thank you for the warm welcomes. Sometimes I get so confused as to what's going on with my body as my ailments seem to mimic each other. I am very blessed though to have a good team of docs. I really hope to learn alot here and maybe better understand what's going on. Thanks again.

Welcome Connie,

Sorry you have hypothyroidism but I'm glad you have come to our group.

Mandy, hearing you say that, I know exactly what you mean. I say that all the time. I'm always opening windows, shutting them, then opening them again. Never the right temp. for me.

LOL, I drive everyone in the house crazy. Especially when it is actually either really cold or really hot outside. It is to bad that the thyroid hormones that we take don't work on temperature regulations too Angry
