Hypothyroidism: Week 2

May 13, 2008 by jessiesblog

It’s been a little over two weeks since I first started taking my medication for hypothyroidism.

I have noticed that my skin feels some better. Before it would get so dry it would crack and bleed. Now it’s not quite so dry and when I use lotion it seems to stay on longer. I’ve also noticed some hair loss, though nothing terribly significant.

I’m still not sure how I feel about being diagnosed with this condition. It’s not like it’s a big deal, it’s just kind of weird knowing something in my body isn’t working and I have to take medication to correct it.

From what I’ve read, it will take a few more weeks for me to notice any other improvements. I am still lacking energy and my nails, cuticles and hair are still brittle. Those are some of the things I’m hoping will improve with time.

So I wait. Hoping by the time I return to Dr. P on the 23rd I have some more good things to tell him.

Thanks for reading,
