Synthroid Diaries: Day two

Day two: Okay. I am so in the swing of this now. I took my pill for a whole second day in a row. I am all over this. I am an expert pill-taker.

So far, I am experiencing no side-effects, and also no noticeable difference in my mood, energy, etc. Hair still in my head, etc.

What I have found is that a). I know a pretty amazing group women, and b). they are generous enough to share with me some of their similar experiences, which I have to tell you made me feel so much less alone, and thereby, infinitely more capable of handling this. It truly is amazing how much of a difference it can make to know that there are others out there who share my experience.

I think of all those LGBT kids last year who took their own lives, because of bullying. I imagine their fear, and isolation, and I'm so sad that they didn't have anyone to support them, or share a similar story, to let them know they weren't alone.

I am pretty amazed by the number of people that I've heard from. It seems that a LOT of women are taking Synthroid. who knew? It makes me wonder what women did before this drug existed. 100 years ago, were women just much more tired and depressed? I guess so...

More later.
