Friday, day 53



Today was such a blah day!  I didn't get out of my jammies until well after noon.  Not because I was sick or didn't sleep well.  I just didn't want to.  I am so tired.  That's not an excuse, it is a symptom.  I was diagnosed with Sub-Clinical Hypothyroidism.  It explains a lot of my life- tired all the time, weight gain, hair falling out, decreased sex drive, increased headaches and a sexy goiter (which is new, by the way). All of these symptoms have increased recently.  Years ago, I thought I had hypothyroidism and had labs done and was told they were normal and my symptoms (mild at the time) were "hormonal".  My naive self, believed that this was the answer.  In the last 4 years, I had excuses of being a mother and being busy.  Once I had some labs drawn last month, I was convinced, maybe I do have a problem or reason for how I am feeling.  So today, I started my day with a medication that will hopefully make me feel better.  I wish it was instant relief.  It will take 4-6 weeks to see any results or changes in how I feel.  Until then, I will try to make the most of these days and pray for healing. 

That's all I have for today.
