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.

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!
