Good for you — I’m glad. It’s so frustrating when you KNOW something is wrong but aren’t getting the right help.

So what are the “numbers” that were increasing over the past few years that the doctor noticed? Just curious…

I am so happy for you! I know the frustration of doctors fobbing you off, and the joy that a diagnosis, finally, can bring. Yay! At least you will be able to take medication now and bring yourself back to normal. Congratulations I don’t think it has been boring to read about this at all. You’re my friend, I want to hear how you are.

One of my friends is also going through a thyroid diagnosis. She has a 2 year old so I think maybe she just thought it was plain old exhaustion for a while. It seems to take ages, but it is good that someone is now saying there is a problem.

And my biggest complaint about doctors is the ones who see a heavier woman and basically blame everything on the weight. It is lazy, apart from anything else.

I hope you are feeling better soon.

I hope this brings you energy and a feeling of happiness. I’ve gone to the doctor for the same issues with no results. My mother is hypo so I keep thinking it might be my problem. They take a test and say the results are within limits. But whose limits? Aren’t we all a bit different. My body temp never reaches normal. It is always low. That is my normal.

I just so happy that it is going to get better for you. Whohoo!
