If I don't eat at a certain time, I get shaky, tired, and grumpy. Then I am a bit light for a while after I eat. Eating on time is best.

Hope you can figure out what's up so you can feel better. I hate feeling like crap.
Holy crap...I never even thought about my thyroid. My mom has issues with hers that didn't start until she was in her mid thirties. My skin has become really bad. I have been using an olive oil based cream that the doctor recommended. He said it was one of the best but it does nothing for me. I am definitely going to the doctor on monday and asking him to have my thyroid checked.

Thanks for posting about that.
