Have you been to the doctor concerning your thyroid issue yet? They do have medicine that will help it out! Also thyroid issues can mimic almost all anxiety issues. My mother a few years back had testing done at 3 different hospitals for almost a year until they finally diagnosed her. So I know exactly what you mean, my mother has cardiac shunting, afib, on oxygen 24/7, diabetes, fibromyalgia, and a few other things wrong. I worry every day about her and I'm 28. However you have to realize that no matter what eventually everyone dies. (Yes I know that probably doesn't help you any), however it is the truth. Just enjoy the time you have with her and don't take any of that time for granted.

i was told that my levels are normal at the checkups every 6 months but also told that my thyroid levels can rollercoaster throughout the months. I am not a candidate for medication but have begun exercising and am considering Yoga. thank you so much for you help
