Whining About My Health

Filed under: Mommy Body, Mommy Life, Random Mommy Musings — The Mommy @ 6:24 pm

The title says it all so if you are averse to whining, feel free to skip this post. Since I’ve started taking the adrenal support, extra folate and betacarotene my butt has been dragging. In the worst possible way. I mean laying-on-the-floor-unless-it-absolutely-has-to-be-done butt-dragging. I did manage to get to a sign language play date today and the grocery store. Actually, I think I’ve gone to the grocery store every day this week! Fuzzy brain. Keep forgetting stuff. Another symptom of Hashimoto’s. And, no, I am NOT pregnant. If I am pregnant, it is truly a miracle because it took us a long time when we were trying and we were having a LOT more sex then! And it was unprotected. Let’s just say I’m a safety girl these days. Not takin’ any chances.

So I’ve stopped taking the folate, betacarotene and adrenal support until I see how things shake out with the new medication dosage. I swear my body never experiences these positive miracle shifts that some people experience when they start on a new medication or supplement but you can be sure that I know when something is going wrong with a new med or supplement. It’s generally very clear. It’s a bummer because these things are supposed to help me heal and feel better but that’s becoming very obviously not the case. Maybe I just started too many things at once. Another good reason to quit until the new med dose takes effect.

Biopsy is tomorrow. :( Not looking forward to that. The Daddy is taking the day off so that Gammaw doesn’t have to drive two hours to watch The Tot while I go get things snipped out of my private parts. Blech. Blech. Blech. Blech. I don’t even like thinking about it. I hope it’s a quick procedure. And that they’re not backed up like they usually are. I once waited an hour and a half after my appointment time before I was seen! I really hope that doesn’t happen tomorrow. I might lose it a little…
