I may actually get to start feeling better!

Low thyroid hormone.

(and sinus problems)

So a couple of medicines, and good as new, hopefully.
Yeah! Not that you've had problems, but that they found the cause. I, too, have hypo-thyroidism and have to take a pill every day for it. They're not like antibiotics where as soon as you start taking them you feel better. They take a little while to get into your system and get the thyroid going again, but once they start working, you'll start feeling a lot better, and not just with they dizzy spells. I didn't realize it but I had become somewhat depressed and cranky and now my attitude is sooo much better. It took awhile because the doc started out with a low dosage, but now that it's up where it should be I feel so much better just in general. I've stopped taking claritin because I can deal with my sinuses again whereas before they were just killing me. It's amazing how one tiny little gland can affect you sooo much.

Good luck with the medicine. I take Levoxyl and the good news is it is extremely cheap - as far as medication goes that is.
