So I contacted my doctor's office yesterday to follow up on some labwork. They then informed me that I have hypothyroidism. This may sound bad to most people, but I think of it as good. Why? I FINALLY KNOW WHY I'M SO FREAKING TIRED ALL THE TIME. Yay.
So right now they give me a pill to take daily to substitute for a lack of thyroid hormone (the lack of which leads to low metabolism and stuff) and then they do blood tests for a bit while they get the dosage right. Pretty easy treatment I think.
Now, the real question is whether all my ADD symptoms were caused by this disease. We shall see.
