listen, i have hypothyroidism and my scalp is drier than the sahara. please don’t tell me it’s bad, i don’t care. i need the most stiff, razor sharp brush possible so i can itch my scalp. please dear god in heaven help me. recommendations for how to fix the issue at hand are also welcome. tia

I was just diagnosed. I need someone to be real with me. Am I going to be miserable for the rest of my life?

I’m a 30 year old female with Hashimoto’s and Graves. I’ve spent the past several years in agony. I’m severely fatigued and depressed and I cannot enjoy life. I’m looking for any relief, but I’m finding that isn’t really an option. Medications: fluctuating hormones, feel like shit. Ablation: can still fluctuate, mainly hypothyroid, feel like shit. TT: permanent hypothyroid state, feel like shit. And in all options, antibodies stay elevated. Am I crazy???

Also, did I have thyroid issues before my TSH was abnormal? Am I hypo right now even though my T3/T4 are showing normal or do I feel like this because of methimazole?
