I had never heard about Hypo/hyper thryoid as a fallout from a relationship with a Narc but it makes perfect sense. I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroid 3 years ago at the first breakup with the N (not the last). I am never sick so I just thought I was insane and that was why I was having so many issues. I have been on meds for the thyroid ever since!!!
Yup I am one of those weirdos that only goes to the doctor as a last resort. When I first went NC I was having muscle spasms, eyelid tics, pins and needles in hands and feet, blurred vision. I was so out of it that it wasn,t until I had done some healings that I started to take notice of my physical condition. Anyway these symptoms started to decrease though I could not close my right hand. Finally I went to the Doc and she did all the tests. They came back ok, but she suspected that I had been displaying the symptoms. Anyway I did a whole lot of research and found lots of articles linking the abuse to the breakdown. Less than a year on my hand is back to normal. The doctor did say that I had the beginnings of rheumatoid arthritis but hopefully this is reversing as well.
I jsut wanted to check in, if you got already your answer, I am no expert, I have no idea, I just say fuck them, fuck what they could think,
Go with your feeling and let yourself check, better be on the safe side, ok???
