Hahaha! The moment doctor tells me I cannot be tired if I manage to xcountry ski 3 kilometers in a week. Exactly how I felt. I remember thinking which one us is the idiot. For a second thinking it's me but realised fast that oh come on if people at age 70 do 50-100 kilometres a week , a woman 36 should do better than 3 :D

They have no idea how our bodies feel without sufficient thyroid hormones. No wonder we sometimes wish they could have a 'trial of hypo for a few months'.

Exactly!

I actually told the doctor that if he was in my shoes for a day he would give up. He did not look super happy. . :D

That's quite brilliant, thanks for posting.

Especially when you feel like rubbish and the dr. asks do you play golf! If wishes were horses as the saying goes. 🏇🏽. Love it. Thanks for the laugh jobeth. 😀

Hahaha!!! I have shared this on my FB page!

reminds me of the nurse who after listening to me complain that the GP wasn't listening to me said, "well you know the difference between God and GP don't you?" I replied that I didn't, she said, "God doesn't think he's a GP,"

.........the more junior GP at my practice has told me this week that I know more about hypothyroidism than she does...........and I don't really know that much!

Scary isn't it?

Yes, but really nice that she was honest and I hope she will listen to you and help.

Yes, that's true.

I just feel sorry for people who cannot read and understand medical descriptions/information and those that are unable to access sites such as this; I'm scared for them.
