Actually been diagnoised with hypothyroidism since 1994 when I also went off the road into a ditch when I fell asleep on the wheel. Went to see the doctor as to why I was falling asleep early in the morning around 10 am. That’s when he found out about the thyroid problem. I’ve been taking levothyroxin since than.
What I’m writing about is the aftermath of the disease. To educate about it. I have since learned that my thyroid might have been my problem since birth. First diagnois is my hearing loss, but didn’t find out about my thyroid problem till I was about 25.
By this time, hearing is getting worse and I had corpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. Surgery did help release the c p tunnel, but no surgery can help my hearing cause it’s nerve deafness. It’s seems it’s a nurological disease all together with hearing loss, thyroid problems, carpal tunnel, and diabetes.
Were I’m getting at is that I’m trying to save my daughter and my grandson from going thru what I’m going thru…diabetes. There is a med to try and prevent other ailments from happening but I won’t find out till my daughter goes to the doctor next Wednesday.
I guess what I’m trying to say also is that I’m researching into this as much as I can. I am posting my findings here so that anyone who has the same ailments can seek the doctor for medical attention on this unique finding.
Thanks for the input. And again…Too blessed to be stressed.
