Feeling Sorry For Myself...

As I said in a post a few weeks back I have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism but haven't yet been put on medication, my doc wants one more blood test in Feb until he is happy to do anything.

I feel at my absolute worst tonight and feel really sorry for myself. No matter how hard I work I seem to either stay the same or put on weight. It's all because of this flaming thyroid.

Not only that but it makes me feel so weak and tired constantly and my hair is thinner than it has ever been.

Sorry I just needed to moan because it's really getting me down :-(

I have two sisters and several aunts that suffer from the same thing...I know what they have gone through and I'm so sorry you've recently been diagnosed.

I'm the type of person that always looks for the silver lining even in the worst of times - or I at least try to remember to.  Think of this - at least you now KNOW why your hair is thinning and why you are constantly tired instead of never-ending blood tests with no results.  Unfortunately, the waiting game with the doctor doesn't help, I am sure.

I have been making myself write down three things I'm thankful for every night before going to bed.  Not only does it get my mind to reflect on positive thoughts before going to sleep, it helps me remember that even at my worst, there are good things in my life.  This little practice helps me get through those days when nothing seems to go right...so does a little pampering :)

It's ok to moan, but remember to keep your chin up and look forward to a turn-around soon :)
