I have had hypothyroidism since i was 13 i am now 18 and a senior in high school. I am terrified that i might not graduate because i have missed so many days of school because i am just to tired to get out of bed. It has made my life miserable for so long and i am so relieved to have found this website and someone to relate to. I was hoping you could also give me some advice because at this point i could really use it.

by the way, that was amazing writing.

oh maddie, you sound like a *Winner* to me. yeah, it sux and it’s not fair, especially for a teen cus teens have enough goin on, but you got dealt this hand and you will conquer…and cuz of that battle, you will be oh so much stronger and wiser at the other end of this!!!

P.S. i know having to take naps really rocks our world the wrong way, but, for now, give in and rest your body when it needs it and it will thank you. try to imagine your body is healing while you’re sleeping!

one more thing, try epsom salt (magnesium) baths for the aches. hope it helps!

hang in there Maddie, XOXO

Thank you all for your support, I did get to go to the homecoming dance,without a date…I prefer to go to dances without a hormone junkie teenager staring at my chest and trying to “make a move” on the dance floor. LOL. I had a great time with my senior class (c/o 2010 make some noise) and didn’t stop dancing once, which I thank my thyriod for being well behaved.

see yall around

Good advice Jody Ã¢â‚¬” try to focus on it as least as possible; that way, you can try to really enjoy your last year in high school before you to go college. College is a whole other world.

OOOHH Good one Amy! Love starts with loving yourself. And the trick is to love yourself no matter what problems we think we have or what obstacles we really face.

Good point Bee Ã¢â‚¬” it’s easy to feel weird, different, left out. Hell, I’ve been experiencing that most of my life, and like you said, it had nothing at the time to do with thyroid disease.

Maddi,

Your write so well for someone so young, and as for the Thyoobs people pay big bucks to look like us well that part anyway, I’m sure they wouldn’t want all the other shit that goes with it.
They make great weapons. Hey Mr Endo listen to me or I’m gonna box you round the ears kind of weapon.

Things will improve even though it may not seem so right now, you got your whole life ahead of you, you either got to learn to live with this damn disease or let it get the better of you and I’m sure you’re not going to let it do that.

Rest when you can, listen to your body I don;t feel guilty about napping in the afternoon anymore.

I’m still burning the candles at both ends but know when I have to catch up on sleep deprivation. I see no point going to bed only to lie there listening to every fooking sound at 1-2 am in the morning and thinking if that fooking bird sings one more time I’m gonna open my window and Holler, “do you know what the fooking time is? some people are trying to get some sleep and I ain’t one of them so keep on chirping baby cus if I can’t sleep I don’t know why any other fooker shouldÃ¢â‚¬; excuse the french I feel like Thyranting.

big hugs cus I feel like giving you one.

Lolly having a thyitching thyme.
