[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, Op said that she has Hashimoto which means lower TSH or hypo thyroidism. ADHD and other anxiety could cause a lot of issues in handling rage. [/quote]

I know, I had that, and I was hyPER-thyroid at first, then hyPO. Fluctuations can happen.

Oh boy! How often you should be checking that and is that the main reason behind rage?[/quote]

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in my late 20s, and I had no rage, but extreme anxiety and panic. I think that some people express the same inner disturbance as anger, but I'm not one of them. The literature says anxiety/irritability. And then I was diagnosed with Grave's disease in my late 30s, another thyroid disease. I fluctuate enormously for no reason that any of my doctors have ever been able to understand. It's so weird. I know plenty of people with thyroid issues who don't fluctuate like I do, so perhaps you don't. I need to check 3-4 times a year. The last two times I had bloodwork done, my TSH was above 4, and then 3 months later, below 1. Same lab. I don't get it! My dose of Synthroid remains the same, I eat the same thing at the same time every day... but since I'm now in my 40s with perimenopause, I wonder whether hormonal fluctuations are impacting my thyroid hormones.

Anyway. It's complicated. I hope you find a solution.[/quote]

PP, how did you manage the anxiety and panic? I take levothroxyine and seeings some of these effects. I am already on Lexapro but anxiety increased with thyroid medication. [/quote]
