well, maybe more than 40. . .

OK, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I could go into a book about all that is wrong with me, but instead of dwelling on health issues that are no longer in my control, I have decided to just change the things I can change and just be content with the rest. This will be my story of the first steps of changing the things I can change. Let's just hope I can do it. If your like me, you never really found any motivation on the internet.Until now! Thanks to others like about.thyroid, and Stop The Thyroid Madness, I hope that by me taking the first steps, I can finally become who I was suppose to be.

Time for Change!

Well, I can at least say I am not needing a nap every day. I have continued to drive the 60 miles out of town to a doctor that I have to pay out of pocket for (at $500.00 a visit!) but have finally convinced someone to raise my thyroid medication to 3 grains. As long as I take it three times a day, (1 grain each time) I am starting to feel better! Still a little cold, and I finally chopped off 6 inches of my hair because it is still falling out all over, but not as tired :)  There was even one day when I felt normal! All my muscles felt alive and strong. Sounds strange, but I could feel them working at their full capacity, and felt so strong again!

SO, there is hope. It may be taking me years to get there, but damn it I will get there! The next step in the next couple of months is to start my own non-profit for the education of better Thyroid care. More to come on that as I get it started...

Have a great day!!
