Huzzah!!!

Well, as I had said in other posts, I have a disease called Hypothyroidism. It takes its toll but its a manageable disease. I take a pill every morning that allows me to function throughout the day. Well, in the last three months or so, I started putting on the weight that I have been working so hard to lose, suffering from depression, utter exhaustion and a bunch of other things. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I was doing everything I was supposed to, eating right, exercising, going to bed at 9 p.m. so I could get up at 5 a.m. It was maddening!

Needless to say, I turned to the Internet to see what people's thoughts were in regards to losing weight with they hypothyroidism, because I wanted to lose weight for my sister's wedding and all I was doing was gaining weight. I noticed a trend with symptoms of people suffering from the disease, like weight gain, depression, etc. etc. So, I finally called my doctor because I was being awful, I felt awful and I knew that people around me wanted nothing to do with me.

I went in last week and met with the doctor and got some blood work done, and huzzah, my thyroid medication had indeed quit working for me. I had been on the same dosage of the meds since I was diagnosed three years ago. So, they have me on a new dosage and I can't begin to tell you how wonderful I feel. I am so grateful for modern medicine that has helped me feel like a million bucks. Now, I'm off to the struggle of losing the weight again. It is a harder process for me because of this disease, but I think I'm up to the challenge. :)
