Turns out I have hypothyroidism. My doctor put me on Synthroid: 50 mg every morning.
I looked at the symptoms online and I have quite a few of them and have had for quite a while now. I just shrugged it off as being part of the depression or part of getting older. Anyway, it takes up to a month to get the full effect of the meds. And they'll probably have to stick me a few times to make sure my labs return to normal levels.

Congrats - I would love to have that dx instead of the one I got :)
Good luck!

I'm glad you got that diagnosed and treated. My MIL, DH and sister all deal with the same thing and I know it can be really hard to deal with it you aren't being treated. And on an amusing note...the only reason I got dx'd with ppd after my daughter was born was because my doctor got tired of telling me that I didn't have a thyroid problem. I was sure that's why I was so nuts...turns out I'm, um, nuts. heh.

Now I have to deal with hypothyroidism and bipolar II.
But today I'm feeling okay.
I'm listening to "All Apologies" by Nirvana and just relaxing this last hour I have before I have to pick up the children from school.
