No Energy At All

No I’m not being lazy today.  I just don’t have much energy.  They took 3 vials of blood from me this morning, and I’ve just had a hard time recovering from that.  Normally I’m weak for a few hours, but I think with the sinus infection I have it’s just made me feel a lot worse.  I’ve spent most of the day lounging around.

I walked up to my Grandparent’s house for a late lunch with them, and that’s when I realized how weak I actually am today.  I decided to stay up there a couple hours, and since my mom carpools with my aunt to work I had her give me a ride home when she got there.

I didn’t get to see the doctor today since I just went to the hospital to have the blood work done, but I did call my doctor this morning.  I described the symptoms I’m having including the lump on my throat, and he believes this will be the time the test finally shows some results we can go by.  Even if the test comes back showing that I have the disease, I might not go on medication for it just yet.  It depends on how mild my case is.  If my thyroid is repairing itself and the medication is too strong,  the medication can actually cause symptoms that mimic the ones I’m already having.

I guess just cross your fingers.  No matter if I get put on the meds or not, I just finally want to know if I do or don’t have Hashimoto’s.  This has turned into one big waiting game that isn’t very much fun.

The Thought of Blood Work Actually Making Me Happy!

It’s another sleepless night around la casa.  That’s not exactly a bad thing tonight though.  My thyroid has been acting up all day, and I’m supposed to hit up the hospital for blood work in the morning.  As I’ve mentioned before the insomnia is a symptom of the thyroid problems I’m having.  If I have Hashimoto’s the insomnia as well as fatigue can be symptoms that my thyroid is all out of whack again.

The doctors haven’t been able to give me a sure answer yay or nay whether or not I have Hashimoto’s for the simple fact that the thyroid can repair itself in a matter of a couple of days.  I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that we’re finally getting a chance to get some blood work submitted before my symptoms go away.

I’m almost positive the insomnia is because of my thyroid tonight.  For the past few hours I’ve felt like I have a lump in my throat, and I’ve got a very noticeable lump on my the side of my throat right where my thyroid is.  I’m definitely in the middle of a thyroid attack.

I never thought in my life I’d be so happy to a. be having these problems and b. be having blood work in the morning!

There Go The Glasses

Hubby just called to let me know he broke his glasses again. He’s had this pair soldered back together twice already, and now yet again they’re broken. At least it’s something I’ll easily be able to fix when he gets home.

At least while he’s at work he’s got safety goggles he wears over his glasses, so those will hold them in place so he can see. He’ll have to let his dad drive home because he’s blind as a bat without them.

We’ve considered Lasik, but it’s a little too expensive for us right now. I’m going to mention it to him again, and maybe we can save enough to be able to pay for half and finance the rest. It just depends on how things go. I really think it’d be a great thing for him to have, and we know he’s a candidate. We’ve already had all that checked last time we considered the surgery about 6 months ago.

Much Better!

Wow, I’m definitely sticking with Zyrtec and not going back to Allegra. I feel soooo much better today! The Zyrtec my doctor gave me is the OTC version, and it’s a lot cheaper than my other allergy meds, too, so I think it’s definitely a winner.

I actually feel good enough to get some stuff done today, and let me tell you I really need to do some cleaning. I haven’t done a damn thing since I started feeling like total crap, and this house is an absolute mess. Of course Hubby didn’t go out of his way to help me with any of the house work, so I’ve got stuff piled up everything that needs doing.

I’ve already start laundry and dishes this morning, and I thought about messing around in the guest room, but I think that might set my allergies off even more. I’m imagining all the dust that’s built up in there since we use the room mainly as a storage room. Alley’s cat tree is in there, so I’m at least going to pull that out today. He has a big one and a little one, so we stuck the big one in storage. Well he’s finally destroyed his little scratching post, so it’s time to pull the big one out again.

As much as I know I need to do all this I don’t want to though. I was laying on the couch last night watching TV, and a design for a new blog header popped in my head. I sat down for a few minutes to give myself a rough design in Paint Shop Pro, but I didn’t have time to really do what I wanted to it. Now I want to work on designing it before I totally forget the details I wanted.

I really need to get back in the habit of organizing my day, what I do when, and how long I have to accomplish it. I’ve kind of let all that go out the window!

Switching Medications

I’m kind of surprised how quickly I made it out of the doctor’s office this morning.  Normally when I go to Urgent Care it’s not urgent at all.  I can sit there for hours waiting to be seen, but I was lucky this morning.  That’s probably because we were sitting in the parking lot waiting for them to open, and I threw up twice while Hubby was filling out my paperwork.  The nurse decided to take me on back so I didn’t have to keep running into the public bathroom.

I wasn’t throwing up because I’ve got anything stomach related.  I just have a very weak stomach, so when all this stuff is draining into my stomach I end up puking it back up.  Nice, huh?  lol

I got my antihistamine shot, and the doctor gave me a few samples of Zyrtec, and told me it would probably be best for me to switch.  I’ve been on Allegra, but it’s just not working for me anymore.  He told me I’ll probably be really sleepy on the Zyrtec at least for a few days, but I can handle that.  When I feel like this I stay really tired anyway.

Anywho if things don’t start clearing up for me by the end of the week he said I might have to start weekly allergy shots again.  I seriously hope not because I hate them.  I’m not scared of shots or needles, I just hate having to get a shot every week for something as lame as allergies.
