Hypothyroidism

So for the 3rd time this year, I was tested for cancer (and several other things as well I'm sure, but that is the main one) . This time they came back with Hypothyroidism. I match a lot of the symptoms, but they symptoms also come with severe allergies, which the doctor and I have been thinking that that's what it is.
SO on a pill to replace my thyroid hormone now. This has been one week now.
There is a side effect or two to the replacement though. - Stomach aches & Headaches... (Rare they said). That's was a load of horse shit. Cause every time I hear someone taking the meds, they all got it! Including me. Now they had ebbed up a bit since I started taking the pill, but I still have it. The first night it felt like someone hit me in the head with a hammer, and was trying to rip my stomach apart.
Now it's the wait and see game. i go back in about 11 weeks to see how things are going.


I know my sister has it. Now I find out that an Aunt on my dads side has it.
Did you know that you get an increased chance of getting it after you have a kid?
I have a friend that has it and now she has also been diagnosed with breast cancer.... Makes you think doesn't it? what if that's next? They've check 3 times now...... Some spookie shit.
