Haven't been below the magic something-0 (in my case 60,) since before inpatient last year, October 2013. I've been taking the cocktail of moodstabilisers I exited IP on faithfully, and my weight has stayed 62, usually 62.5 for the most part, occasionally with a bump. So I haven't bothered with scales for awhile until a few days ago; I was pretty sure over the last couple of weeks I've been going hyperthyroid again - normally the EDd me would be thrilled, except that my last visit with my endo said if I "relapsed" ie went hyper she wants to "take definitive action" which means nuking my thyroid, which means taking thyroid meds (thyroxine) for the rest of my life. The thing that bothers me about it all is
that at the moment yes I flux through periods of hyperthyroidism but it's manageable with a temporary course of neomercazole
If I get zapped (definitive action) then I end up on thyroxine for the rest of my life, and the risk of hyPOthyroidism is pretty high from what I understand. Side effect of hypothyroidism is ... Da da da.... Major Depression.
So it begs me the question, why on earth I would offer up myself for nuking?? Previous history of depression, combined side effect of depression... Nah, I'd rather be mostly okay and control the occasional hypers with meds, what's wrong with that??
