Doc Talk

Well. I think I finally found a good endocrinolist ... his name is Dr Woo and I really do like him. He took the time to sit and talk to me about my concerns and my aches and pains. The fact is simply this- without a thyroid, getting out of bed is hard. Everything hurts. You're either starving or not hungry at all ... you're either losing weight like a marathon runner or packing on the pounds. Energy is nil ... exercise is impossible ... tired, ALWAYS ...

So I went to him and ask him to help me, fix myself. First order of business, is to get my energy UP. We did a blood test for thyroid levels and for Vitamin D. I am probably dificient ...

Next step- join the gym. I'll probably, after getting some encouragement from the girls here at work, need to jumpstart with a personal trainer, but then I'd like to go and take classes, because I get BORED at the gym ... He told me non- activity = low energy and the first thing to do is MOVE and I will begin to feel better and look better ... he said the first two weeks I'll be cussing him, but afterwards, all will be well. I can't wait! I'm excited.

He also did a Diabetes test, which I'm a little concerned about- but I think it's just because the two diseases are so closely related. I really think if I had it, I'd be having some major problems like the blood sugar thing, etc ... I truly think my problem is lack of activity ...

But anyway, it'll be a week before we know. In the meantime, it's life as usual.

Good luck! I hope the test results show only things that are mild and easily treatable. A good endocrinologist makes SUCH a difference.
