bewitched,
I see your point about thyroid caused adrenaline surges (anxiety)not really being typical anxiety and it is a good point. I actually said the same thing to the first doctor I went to with my thyroid symptoms and she immediately tagged it as "anxiety". I knew beyond a doubt mine had nothing to do with my thought patterns or emotions but it did over time cause me some learned behaviors that made the anxiety trigger more easily afterward, which I had to work on.
I believe some doctors call it anxiety just as they do when it's caused by stress and emotions but I feel when it's thyroid caused, they should state it that way in the patient's medical record. They should term it someting to the effect; "thyroid related anxiety". It's only fair to the patient that they do so in my opinion.
Fayge,
New Editors are required to start fresh with all new articles. Also, some of the past ones were not archived and there are a few blank articles in my articles-list as well, where links used to be and I have no idea what happened to these. There may have been a small problem in the system at some point.
Sometime in the future, I will get with you, to see if you would like to submit your information again and I'll probably do that in an interview type format.
