Better!

It's amazing what a couple of pills can do. I've been just miserable for months--exhausted, depressed, just work, sleep, work, sleep, having a hard time just dragging myself out of bed and out of the house. I was nervous about going to the doctor because I thought (I tend to go for the worst-case scenario) that maybe there was something wrong with my heart.

It turns out my thryoid medication dose needed to be increased, and I'm B12 deficient. I was already taking all kinds of nutritional supplements, including a B Complex, but I needed to have a separate B12 pill to get a high enough dose. I've been taking the B12 and the higher dose of synthroid for a couple of weeks now, and I feel so much better I can hardly believe it! :o)

YAY!!!!!! I'd been wondering if there was anything going on. Glad to hear it could be solved :)))))

*hugs* I know, you asked me what was going on a month or so ago, and I didn't really have a good anwer. Now I know! B12 and thyroid deficiencies!
