| | | Hi Lesley,
It's true -- lots of us also have the thyroid problems, and several of us also have high blood pressure. I also have RA in the hands and wrists. Got you beat!! Just kidding! We sometimes get a little collection going . . . .
The good thing is that we have drugs to take care of the low-functioning thyroid and high blood pressure. We definitely fight harder for balance and health than most people.
You have support here -- so WELCOME!

| | | Thank you everyone for the welcome. I am just really scared. I am 33 and should not be feeling this way. I stress a lot so that might be some of the problem.
