Crawling out of my skin

My Synthroid dosage was changed for the seventh time in seven months and the latest change has made me feel as if I have an army of ants trying to get out of my body. I’m hyper, hyper. I started smoking again because I can’t even deal with myself. I kept waiting for the half life of the drugs to drop off so that I can see a change, but hyper I remain so I’m going back in today for more blood work so my endocrinologist can read my blood and tell me what makes me so jumpy. He thinks I might be producing two antibodies that are at war – that is what it feels like – being tugged in multiple directions from the inside out.

Every website I read says that hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s Disease and Synthroid are synonymous with anxiety.

Uh duh.
