This week's featured Thyroid Warrior is Linda.   Linda's journey started unbenounced to her as a teenager, looking back now she realized she was sleeping 10+ hours a day and struggled to gain weight. After she was married and has her first child her symptoms progressed into lots of repeated thyroid goiters that got to be very large, and the doctors would drain them over and over.   

As life went on she started to struggle from extremely low energy, and still from the doctors telling her that her labs were " normal" she had no choice but to self-medicate with caffeine, the doctor then prescribed her ADDERAL  to help her from the low energy.  

This medication was not sustainable thought as it caused extreme amounts of anxiety and panic attacks and when she decided to stop she had terrible withdrawals.  Frustrated by her life is great except for her health declining,  she was more or less forced to retire early from her teaching career from thyroid illness. She gives great advice on self-care, work boundaries, and being a self-advocate for your health   Her journey has been one most thyroid warriors have endured or are experiencing as well Enjoy!
