Three different doctors tested my thyroid. When asked why, they said it's because thyroid problems can pose as bipolar. I didn't understand so I asked for further explanation. They all told me that, often times, a person can be diagnosed bipolar, with all good intentions, when in acutuality, it's a thyroid problem. I don't know whether to feel lucky or not, that my thyroid blood work has always been within normal ranges. A friend of mine was diagnosed bipolar and I asked if a blood test had been done, first, checking her thyroid, she said yes, but that the results weren't in yet, but they went ahead and dx'd her bipolar. I told her to wait on thinking she was bp because of the possible test results. She called her doctor the following week, when the results should have been in. Sure enough, her thyroid was all kinds of messed up. The bp dx was taken from the table. She's now on thyroid meds and is fine, lol. Goes to show that dr's don't always know everything and tend to jump the gun.<br>Either way, I still have all of the bipolar to deal with, lol. Eh, oh well. I've learned a lot thru being bipolar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325978708379517839.post-59532099222456058662004-12-04T14:20:00.000-08:002004-12-04T14:20:00.000-08:00I've been through a whole lot of this same stuff, ...I've been through a whole lot of this same stuff, even being diagnosed with OCD, depression and then bi-polar.

They want to stop you from feeling the terrible lows but in doing so they block the "JOY" you experience in life too. Your no longer sad...your no longer happy....your just......there.<br><br><br>EXACTLY!!! Although depression really can be painful, we all need to face such pain and agony in order to reach happiness. I know meds help in some big ways, but then again we must be strong enough to try to deal with life without pills and such. I was given Paxil at one time, it made me more loopy than before. Lithium may have helped level me out some, it's been a long time ago. What really helped me was discovering I'm A.D.D. and it literally changed my life! I take Welbutrin, and it helps a lot, but the literature on it and applying it to my life is the key that unlocked me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7325978708379517839.post-43985209788789798582006-02-03T10:29:00.000-08:002006-02-03T10:29:00.000-08:00that must have been terrifying!
