This is so annoying. I'm tired of being tired and cranky and having no patience all the time. Four years ago, I wasn't like this - I had a bad illness for the better part of a month that I couldn't go to the doctor for (no insurance, no money), and I would almost lay money it wreaked some damage on my thyroid. (I read that an illness can do that.) 11 years ago when I was tested, my levels didn't raise any red flags; this time, my levels were at over 16 (if that means anything to you). I think it's T3's?
