OK, so I didn’t completely “ignore” them - I did go back and forth to the doctors for years complaining of all these random symptoms which were mounting up, but we didn’t put 2 and 2 together and see that it was all from a thyroid issue for years. And that’s the things with a thyroid condition. When your thyroid isn’t working right, it can affect everything from the top of your head to the tip toes. The symptoms I had for the years leading up to my diagnosis include: Fatigue Migraines Muscle pai

So many of us struggle with the idea of resting when thyroid fatigue hits, but why? There was a time in my early thyroid disease days, when I was only just diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, and would push my body to do more than it safely could. Despite feeling exhausted, I would force myself because I thought that I was lazy if I did not. As I’ve explained in my writing before, realising that this was making my thyroid condition worse and adapting to a different outlook on movement

Have you left an appointment feeling totally confused because you were sure your thyroid levels were off but the doctor said they were ‘normal’? You’re not alone! 🧪 The problem often lies with how a doctor is reading those results. 🧪 Yes, your results may fall ‘within range’ but are they optimal? If you still have symptoms, possibly not. 🧪 In short: it’s not just about falling within range. It’s about WHERE you fall in range. 🧪 ‘Optimal’ is a place within the range. It’s way more specific. ‘

When I was first diagnosed with thyroid issues, I was prescribed levothyroxine and sent on my way, told that it would fix everything.

📝 Keeping a record of your medical history at home, so you can refer back to them whenever you need and have the full picture of your thyroid health, is incredibly helpful. And is one of my number one tips for advocating for yourself! 📝 Many thyroid patients benefit from being more involved in their thyroid care and treatment. 📝 I personally ask the receptionist to print my test results out for me as I arrive for a doctors appointment. I tell her that I like to have them in front of me when t

Any of these familiar? 🔅 Getting a good nights sleep doesn’t fix fatigue caused by a crucial gland not producing enough hormone, unfortunately. 😞 🔅 Thyroid hormone replacement medication is only one part of the puzzle and can be tricky to get right in terms of dosage and type of med. It is not always a fix-all. 🔅 As your metabolism is slow down with hypothyroidism, “eat less and move more” doesn’t always work. Or it isn’t always that simple. It misses a lot of points. 🔅 Please don’t assume

👟Exercising with thyroid disease can prove difficult and if you used to be a very active person before the onset of your thyroid condition, it can be hard to accept that your exercise regimen may need to change so as not to make yourself more unwell. 😫 The ability to withstand the same exercise as before can be affected, So the important first step is learning how to adapt your exercise by listening to your own body. 🙌🏻 No two thyroid patients are the same, but we can all benefit from going

📞 I’m currently waiting for the GP to call me. I want to make sure they understand how symptoms affect my daily life. I want to make sure they understand that I want to be “optimised” and not just anywhere in the range. I have the phrase underlined in my notebook “it’s important to me that you understand just how inconveniencing my symptoms are and how exhausted I’m feeling.” 🦋 I am a health advocate and yet I’ll be honest about this: I still get very anxious about medical appointments and I w

Unfortunately this just isn’t how it works! Believe us, we’ve likely tried exercising more already. But those with hypothyroidism are not always energised by exercised if their body is fatigued by a slowed metabolism. We can wake up and feel more tired than when we went to bed. Thyroid hormone directly controls and impacts energy levels, which means that fatigue is the most commonly complained of symptoms with the condition. We are easily tired and often feel tired all the time. The best way I c

Not all disabilities and conditions are visible. This is an important reminder. 🦋 When I’m having a flare up in my thyroid condition and symptoms are really bad, or when my levels have dropped, vitamin levels changed, adrenals gone crazy or more, it can get tricky to function day to day. 🦋 Getting a seat on public transport can then be the difference between managing OK and really struggling. 🦋 I’ve come close to passing out in the past when I had to stand.

🧩 I have always said that getting well with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s is like piecing together a big jigsaw puzzle. Why? Because this has been the biggest lesson of all that I have learned since being diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism and beginning the quest to take my health back - My physical health, mental health and just about everything. For so many of us, taking thyroid medication (to replace low thyroid hormone levels) is just one part of the puzzle. A lot of thyroid patients

OK, so maybe not “no one”, because I know my fellow thyroid warriors get it. We experience those days where symptoms are waaaay worse, we’re too exhausted to move, our head is pounding, we feel weak and dizzy and as if we’re moving in slow motion. But the doctors and non-thyroid folk? Waaaaay harder to conceive thyroid flares are real. A ‘thyroid flare’ is defined by an increase in thyroid symptoms from a few days to a few weeks. The most commonly reported symptoms are: 😩 Increased fatigue 😩 H

While it’s true that most women diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s are done so around middle age, both men and women can be slapped in the face by it at any time! 😅 I had symptoms in my teen years and was diagnosed in my early twenties, but this was a sentence a GP said to me when I questioned if it could be my thyroid.. later tested positive for Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism 🙃 It’s why we need more thyroid advocacy and awareness, so more people are aware of the symptoms and more o

Because life throws me curveballs and my health shifts with these too. Just like you. 🙏
