Need some good thoughts...UPDATE - Spoke with doctor - Page 5

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

My first thought is to make sure they check your thyroid levels. Feeling tired and depressed is a classic example of hypo thyroidism....as compared to hyperthyroidism.

Everyone relates others' symptoms to their own experience, and hypothyroidism and Hoshomoto's (sp?) disease (which is an autoimmune disorder) is my experience, so be sure they check thyroid levels.

Good luck and I sure hope it's nothing serious!

PS - is there such a thing as post-marital depression....kind of like post-partum depression? I would think so after the whole big build-up to the actual wedding and such, so maybe that's what it is.......

I sure hope that it's nothing serious. Please take care and continue to keep us updated.

Thanks guys. *HUGS* At this point the tests are for peace of mind. I'll definitely ask to have my thyroid checked.

For those that don't know, I do have endometriosis. I was diagnosed at 21. I knew Endo could make you tired, but I've never been this tired before so it's either a late symptom popping up or something else.

I feel so bad for Kia. She hasn't had a decent walk in weeks. I'm going to force myself to take Miss Floppy Ears (who is still coned btw) for a walk tonight and not even let my butt touch that couch until I do!

Kimmy, I'm so sorry you're so tired. Glad you're going for check-ups, hopefully the doc. will find out what it is, and can treat it easily.

Sending positive thoughts! Best of luck!

Kimmy, maybe it's something simple like the seasons changing. I hope so. Good vibes coming your way.

Kimmy what kind of foods are you eatting? I'm not a vegatarian but with my diabetes if I fall in to the old winter habit of junk or high starches food, I can be so lethargic. Once Tim thought I was having a diabetic coma he couldn't wake me up. Try lots green fresh veggies and yellow fruits.

I eat lots of fruits and veggies. Fresh is the only way to go! (Andy likes canned.. blasphomy! )

Tonight is asparagus night..

I've been trying to keep the carbs low, though I have been craving pasta.

[Jadapit]

I hope you get to feeling better soon. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. (((Hugs)))

[Catty1]

Hon - don't keep your carbs TOO low...have you been eating protein also?

If you have changed your eating habits just before this problem started, let the doc know, ok? She may order other tests.

HUGS
