Does Myxedema Always Lead To Myxedema Madness?

Hello My name is Mary, I am 52.7 and I am female, menopausal, but I fear that I have two very bad conditions that have not been diagnosed. Hypothyroid with Myxedema and some great level of adrenal fatigue. I was reading a story about a woman that had Myxedema Madness, and how she got treatment for it and she did get better. My question is if I do have Myxedema does it always lead to this Madness or can it just correct itself with the correct diet plan. I have had the Myxedema Madness before when I was under severe stress. And now I am under similar stressful situations, I don t ever want to get that bad again, it took me 3 weeks to get over that episode and I was labeled as crazy. I still have two children to take care of and really don t have the money to seek the medical attention for this condition. What should I do? Save up to see a real good doctor, or go see a specialist, or wait it out until I am less stressed out? Will or can my condition worsen? My constant body temperature is quite low 97.2 on average, never has it been 98.6 in the past year that I have been recording it. Thank you.

Hi..

Thanks for contacting HCM for a health query..

Madam you have a fear that you have severe hypothyroidism(MYXEDEMA MADNESS ?) and also adrenal failure?

Madam dont worry,,

Possibly you had little depression inbetween and you have falsely interpreted that as madness.


Madam do not be panic.

You are relating the little lower temperature as hypothermia,,NO..


We are biological and bio parameters are in a range only not pin point to a single number.

But any way we to alleviate your anxiety you can take up two investigation for thyroid FT4 and TSH..

Alleviating the fear for adrenals is even more simple go near to a mirror open your mouth see the colour of mucosa.see the colour of your palmar crease...normal???go to a doctor have a check on sugar and BP
normal??adrenal problem solved.

In case things are normal take up your life with good diet and lifestyle.

If abnormal ,get treated accordingly.

Hope we helped you.

TAKE CARE.
