That's a bit of the problem of reading things without a big picture view. I started reading a few thyroid books and it depressed me right to the bottom! It was as if the fate of the known universe could be in the balance based on how I treated my thyroid! I found that 90% of what I read didn't apply to me - but it was written because "some people may feel x, y, and z...". When you read stuff like that it usually covers all the worst case scenarios. Take it with a grain of salt.

I do go through bits of self doubt and anxeity about it - but there's not much I can do about it now - its here to stay - so I either live the way I want to - or I succumb to fear and the unknown.
