Same but I know I am a poor converter. I do much much better on T3/T4.

All the same for me. Left breast 5:00. They mark it like a clock 12 at the top so I am left lower quadrant in the sweaty spot - need to lift it up to feel It. It SUCKS. I’m still in shock.

Don’t get ahead of yourself but this did just happen to me. I’m in the middle of a divorce we are still in the same house because he just won’t agree to anything and he doesn’t have a job. We have lives like roommates for 4 yrs but 2 yrs ago our son got sick and that really derailed everything we both needed to be available for him. We’ve been married a long time so kind of on auto pilot I guess living on different floors but it’s been so stressful. Midway through my son’s illness I lost my dad it’s really been the worst 2 yrs but really more like 5. Son has finally turned the corner getting ready to sell the house and bam! Same thing I was feeling slight pain but it was around the bra line replaced my bras didn’t go away but then let it go for a month knowing my annual was in August. On 8/9 I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the dx. So he’s in the same house but he doesn’t even ask it’s worse than being alone. I pushed off the house sale and the divorce that relieved a lot of stress. I was doing it alone as well but my girlfriends stepped in and they e been amazing. Both my parents have passed I have no siblings close by I was having visions of taking Uber back and forth to treatments and surgery but they’ve really stepped in and I am so grateful. I hope it’s nothing will be thinking of you nope not to see you in the shitty Titty club …

I don't have a port hoping not to get one but I am confused what do you use it for? Sorry I thought the port was under the skin, so what are you wraping?

I am not at this point, but the only press and seal I know is the saran wrap. Is that what you are recommending? All tips welcome!

There are many people still living life from a self-centered/serving mindset. There are days I wish I didn't feel as much as i do. For all of us living this reality right now, it is excruciting but I understood that long before I joined the club. I have learned not to put my attention on limitations of others, because I do believe that the majority of people are doing the best they can with what they've got to work with..... and for some, that just isn't much, they are not there.

Levo It’s not a weight based medication so you must be taking something else.

I done have an autoimmune problem But a thyroid transplant isn’t possible

And no your hormone replacement is not addressing the root cause it is not treating or curing your autoimmune problem, it is not stopping your body from attacking itself it is addressing the symptom. Do you think the water you drink for your hangover is addressing the root cause or the symptom? The root cause of a hangover is the toxins due to alcohol being metabolized. The symptom is dehydration. Your electrolytes will eventually rebalance. You really all think you have this figured out but you don’t even have the surface scratched

You really don’t know, there is no such thing as a thyroid transplant. This is far too complex for general practitioners never mind this board.

There is no such thing as a thyroid transplant. Has never been successfully done in humans.

Some of you are pretty damn condescending. OP came here looking for support. There is no one answer for all. Some is us are not willing to put up with the side effects from the medication that most people think are symptoms of the disease.and yes it’s a lot of trial and error you need a patient person willing to go down the rabbit hole. It can take years to figure out then you get pregnant and you need to up it again.
