peri- meno and allergies?

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello ladies, Good morning and Merry Christmas. I'm wondering if peri-meno has set off allergies for any of 

you? I never really had bad allergies before up until two

years ago. It was a consist issue back in may I was diagnosed with under- active thyroid and after bring on

thyroid meds for awhile it settled down a lot. And what 

bothers me the most well kinda freaks me out actually

is it affects my left eye only it gets watery and stingy 

and kinda lazy. But up until 4 days ago I was off of my

Thyroid meds for about 2 weeks I'm wondering if the 

meds could get outta my system in that short of time?

I have really bad anxiety so I'm kinda freaking out here sad

    You are not alone I have hypothyroidism and I'm on levothyroxine. Yesterday after work as a bell ringer I had a really bad panic attack. I had taken a vitamin b6 with my vitamin d3 and my metformin, ativan, metoprolol, losartan. I was inside my lobby building when it happened and my heart rate was at 120 it could have been higher because I was shaking and trembling, and crying it has not been that bad since I lived alone in my own apartment back in 1999. Then I worry because I have had no periods since last spring and people my age are still having periods why am I not getting one, and i know I'm not pregnant because I do not have sex so why haven't I had a period

      Hi Susan

      peri can start sometimes in our thirties.  Try not to worry about the symptoms, as that will make your heart go faster.  Someone recommended a brilliant book on here last week, it's called 'screaming to be heard" written by a female doctor.  She talks about our fluctuating hormones, including thyroid,many of the symptoms we experience.  Although they are awful at times, it's good to know that they aren't going to kill you, and they will settle eventually.  I recommend you download the book (cheaper than buying it), as you will find many answers to your concerns.  Also so much help, advice and support from this amazing blog started by Leslie in 2012.

      take care and GET THE BOOK

    Hiya Donna

    You couldn't get worse advice than from me! Seriously, I HATE taking any forma of medication, and feel blessed that I don't have to take anything at all at the mo.  But one thing's for sure:  If I were prescribed meds, I wouldn't stop taking them, unless on my Doctor's advice. 

    Love it or loath it, our lil' ol' thyroid has quite a bit role to play in our wellbeing, so I'd ring your out-of-hours Doc's service and take some advice. 

    Good Luck with that. 

    Ain't it cr*p being peri?!!!!

      Thanks shaznay being Peri is you know what.

      I didn't just stop taking my meds I couldn't

      afford to get back to the doctor and I was outta

      meds for about 2 weeks before I could get back

      to see the doc. Thats why I'm wondering is it

      possible for my thyroid med to get outta my 

      system in a two week time period.

      It could never ever stop your thyroid medication because I have hypothyroidism too and if you sto it it can bring your thyroid down and you will be tired and not with it. You should have made sure that doctor can give you enough thyroid to last until you go back to the doctor

      I could come in and I didn't have the money.sad

      When do you think you will have money because that thyroid medication is important you should never stop that. Your doctor should have prescribed enough until you saw him. Hope you can get your thyroid soon and have your blood test taking to make sure it did not go low
