It’s unlikely that there is anything wrong with your thyroid. You have no symptoms, just a slightly low reading. Try to focus on what you can do something about. What is the ID that you need to see your doctor? Do you have health insurance?

So if blood test show a little low thyroid level it couldve been just temporary???

It sounds to me you have an eating disorder caused by anxiety. Your diet is of far more concern than slightly low thyroid levels. You will probably cure it if you get treatment for your eating disorder.

Think of your body as a car. If you don't put the right kind of fuel in it the engine will eventually seize up won't it? The same with your body. Living on only m and m's and milkshakes is dangerous and you must be lacking in so many vitamins it isn't sustainable. Seek help urgently and tell your doctor about your diet.

For the time being you can buy protein drinks as they would be much healthier and they are very easy to swallow. You are going to make yourself very ill if you carry on like this.

Your right hypercat54 i never thought about it like that , and yes im going to just start forcing my self to eat

[hypercat54 in reply to Chaseincc]

Don't force yourself to have more solid food because it will only make your anxiety worse. There are lots of liquid foods to keep yourself healthier while you get help.One of my sisters was like this for years due to severe anxiety. She would say she felt like there was a lump in her throat and she too was afraid of choking. She didn't get help though.

However she did buy protein drinks so she was healthy. She also found she could have fruit drinks (undiluted) - ie cartons. She also bought ice lollies, mars bars, and bran flakes for some reason as she could eat those (important for fibre). I hope this helps a bit. She is now though eating more solid foods as she kept trying to and eventually is managing to now eat more solid food such as potatoes.

I hope the best for her going on , and and okay ill try the protein shakes now and yes indeed that lump in the throat feeling is almost become a number 1 factor of anxiety is frustrating to deal with
