Blood Tests

When my Mom was here last week I believe she voiced some concerns to my hubby about me being so tired alot. Dr. Hubby suggested to me that I get some blood work done while Mom was having a urine test. I agreed to have the tests...I am a huge baby and Dr. Hubby will avoid putting me through medical stuff if at all possible (remember the "glued" toe that should have had stitches) so I was a little worried that he wanted me to do this.

I made it through having the blood taken without crying. Yes, I am that bad...mostly I tear up because of the nausea. It makes me SO sick! I just shrugged off the test after that. I figured that if you look under a microscope to see what is making me fatigued you would see...

Let's just say that I was wrong. I am sure those things made me tired, BUT I have...

Subclinical Hypothyroidism

Sounds really scary to me...It means my thyroid is not producing enough of the hormones it normally produces. I am having the symptoms, but it is not low enough to be in the abnormal range on the blood test.

When I asked Dr. Hubby what could be causing this problem he said...

"Stress"

I told him "Then I am in trouble..."

"And you need to lose some weight."

"You might as well write the prescription now!"

Soooo...I guess that change in my eating I was planning to make in September (but didn't) is knocking...I answered the door and it was God giving me a swift kick in the booty.
