Living with Hypothyroidism

I have been hypothyroidism for 5 years now. However, I was hyperthyroid for 5 years previous to the time that I was hypothyroid. So i am very familiar with thyroid disease. When I was hyperthyroid, I tried anti-thyroid medication to control my thyroid for 5 years and when it did not work my Doctor suggested radioactive iodine. So I tried it and it burnt out my thyroid and I became hypothyroid. 1 year later i became pregnant and had a healthy baby girl.
