That's interesting half a thyroid! Does it run in your family?

I have antibodies to my thyroid, when my own thyroid production increases it makes the protein antigen and my immune system attacks and destroys the tissues. So ideally I need to take enough medication to stop my thyroid production.

I am feeling very awful, crying and angry and just like a person that didn't sleep all night. It is my cpap machine. It technically expired 7 years ago! My dr said she wouldn't help me with thyroid or sleep after a whole year of going nearly every week crying and begging for help. I switched to another dr in this medical group. I just laid the sleep problem on her, not knowing this medication distribution problem would pop up.

I really like the neurologist my dr sent me to he ordered asap sleep study. Now I'm waiting for the sleep unit to walk to their fax machine and pick up the drs order. I have a sleep apnea like disorder instead of stop breathing my brain senses oxygen decrease and I wake up in all the rem cycles. I remember my dreams!
