I recently discovered that my mother had thyroid problems before and after
my birth.
The doctor that delivered me prescribed her thyroid pills because she
thought it would help her
concieve. After 20 years of taking the thyroid pills (not sure exactly what
they were)
a new Dr said her thyroid was in terrible shape, and put her on Synthroid
and improved
her condition. I'm a serious victim of major depression and am trying to
understand
what the possible roots are. I have began to research on thyroid
complication as it relates to
depression. I have not yet taken any tests and just had regular blood tests
for a checkup.
Would a normal blood test show thyroid malfunction? The real question i
wanted to ask is
it possible that my Mothers use of thyroid pills might have caused Brain
abnormalities or
problems with my thyroid that i have not yet investigated. I believe that my
depression is beyond
major symptons. I have been in so many modes of dysfunction, meaning my head
has experienced
so many types of unusual experiences, it turns off in certain ways, too many
ways too remember or describe. I have a serious personality
conflict/disorder and have never been able to retain thoughts
that keep me grounded. My thinking is always shifting in to new areas that
go back and fourth.
I have been on and again taking Nardil/ mao inhibitor. I know i'm not Manic
depressed/ bipolar
and do not her voices. I just came out of a serious traumatic depression and
while beginning
Nardil again, dealt with serious backlash of my historical personality
discomforts. I'm actually doing well but the medication has slowed down and
i'm reflecting on all that has happened and what may continue to in
different ways. Ther are reasons to believe that there is something wrong
with me despite
childhood experience, all my past severe depressions/ chemical imbalances,
and my fathers holocaust background.
Any info you can give me would be so much apperciated. One more thing. Since i'm feeling better/ even each day, is it possible that the Nardil would fix any thyroid imbalance? Therfore not discovering any thyroid abnormalities.
thank youapologies for the line sloppy line breaks
