Quick Health Update

Well, I did do the thyroid test, and it came back totally normal. Well within the normal ranges. So it looks like I can rule that out. At first I was disappointed because I was hoping for something that I could just take a pill for and start to feel better. I know that seems ridiculous, and absolutely contrary to how I view things normally. But I have been at crisis point for the last few weeks, and I just want to feel human again!

I am now strongly suspecting adrenal fatigue. It fits with the myriad of symptoms that I've been experiencing. The symptoms are much the same for thyroid problems, and I fit this picture pretty much to the letter. I'm going to give up coffee. OUCH. I need to get more sleep. CRAP. That one is going to be tough. Most of the time I have to choose between a little child-free time with Scott in the evenings and sleep. Unfortunately, sleep is going to have to win most of the time now. I have ordered some high quality cod liver oil, as well. Some small steps in the right direction. Hopefully they'll make a difference.

I don't have the concentration to keep typing right now. I can't believe the amount of errors I'm having to correct these days. My brain is so foggy......
