I've figured out what the heck's the matter with me these days.
I've been depressed and exhausted. I'm exercising 30 minutes a day but haven't dropped a pound contrary to past experience. My skin and eyes are very dry. My hair is thinning. I'm menopausal (germane only in terms of timing). And I'm cold all the time.
Hello! My thyroid is acting up again!
So now I have to find a doctor who'll listen to me. My main practitioner, Dr. Pete, is sympathetic but can only go by the approved tests (I'm seeing him next week anyway). My naturopath, Dr. Marty, has the right tests to show the problem and will help me, but isn't covered by insurance.
(Side rant: WHEN will insurance companies figure out that naturopathic is cheaper for them than allopathic and make naturopaths the first line of defense against illness? sheesh.)
Stay tuned, we'll figure this thing out. I feel better already just knowing what's probably going on; I was starting to lose hope there for a bit.
