Hyperthyroidism makes coping with covid harder/worse ?

Q: hyperthyroidism makes coping with covid harder/worse ?

: The accumulation of life stressors can make coping with COVID more difficult. Children, school, food insecurity, infection risks, worries about older family members. Fortunately hyperthyroidism is a treatable stressor. Ask your doctor/endocrinologist what you can do to reduce your concerns about thyroid. Best wishes.
