Raechel, "Docs Said Chronic Fatigue, But It Was Actually Thyroid"
I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue in 1998, but after months of testing (10 to be precise!) I was finally diagnosed as having Hypothyroidism. My mother also has it, and my Gran is Hyper. I was sent to a specialist who put me on treatment. After just 6 weeks I'd lost 3 kilos! Its now just over a year since I was diagnosed, and although I have bad days, for the most part, I feel FANTASTIC! My weight is still a problem - up & down - by my thyroid was also up & down for a few months. I've dedicated myself to knowing I'll have to exercise for life (but shouldn't we all?) and eat well. I'm 23 years old, and after that horrible ten months, I'm glad they finally found out what was wrong with me!
