Susan - Your story reminds me of one my PCP told me . . . after her first child, she was having problems leaving him for even short periods. Her hubby, also an MD, checked her TSH . . . and guess what? I know of a woman who had severe postpartum depression (sad, sad story) - and her thyroid is also abnormal. Totally a connection.
I do live will - at the moment I have bronchitis . . . I tend to get it when my levels are off so time to get that TSH checked. Interesting what all it impacts . . . and how sometimes it is hard to tell if you are high or low based on symptoms. It is so straight forward in the textbooks but not always so in life. But, yes, it encourages me to take better care of myself!
