I'm Soooo Tired....

[Noelle]

...that I finally made a doctor's appointment. I've been AF for over 30 days and I still feel BAD. I'm still tired, sleepy, hardly want to eat, well, I don't really want to do anything! No exercise, hardly listening to the CDs. I've been AF before and this did NOT happen before.

So off the the doctor at 3. I know he'll want to do bloodwork. And I know I need it done. I'm just really scared what will be found. Liver and kidney function non-exsistent?

The thing that will be hard is waiting for the results. I'm going to ask him to try to rush the results.

I'm a tad freaked out right now. I should have done this sooner. DUH!

Noelle,

It could also be simple vitamin or mineral deficiencies. Make sure they do a good set of blood work.

Keep us posted.

We care!! :l

Love,

It is good that you are going to the doctor. Just think how much better your results are going to be by having more than 30 days AF (great) and 30 days of the supplements under your belt. Hope everything is okay.

hi there..noelle.. you are doing a great job and you are also getting over the hump. your body is still getting used to not having any al .you need to just relax keep yourself busy.and try not to worry too much . it will all workout......to tell you the true i still get that way . where i dont have enegery.and i just dont want to do anything but just sleep all day . but they also say the first year you should give youself more time to yourself. dont rush it dont worry too much . if you worry too much thats what makes you want to drink.so remember there are going to be things to where you cannot control .good luck and may god bless you

Nah, no Topa here. It can't be vitamins...I've been eating those every day for a month. It could be my thyroid. I had a cyst drained in July. Maybe it came back? I think it's the drinking.....I've been drinking most of my adult life and I'm 56. There towards the end I was sucking down box wine and anything else that got brought into the house. Blackouts every single night. Ick!

Ok - get it all checked out - but try to relax -- and know you are on the right path now - no matter the out come - I'm betting in is the Thyroid ... Let us know ...

Hey Noelle.................my bet is on your thyroid! Wanna put a wager on it? (oops! are we allowed to gamble here!!!!????)

All kidding aside.....you have been doing so well, your liver has been regenerating and your body is rid of all the AL. Even so, I understand how stressful having a Dr's exam can be, especially as we get older. Somehow the invincible thoughts we have when we are young, get replaced with "What the f--- Now!"

By the way, the thyroid bloodtest is not always accurate. Have you had a thyroid scan since the cyst was removed?

Noelle, you have taken a huge step in the right direction by going to the Doctors... Take a deep breath Hon and know that we are right here for you... xxxx I know it sounds stupid of me to say this, but " please try not to worry"

kateh1 good advice. I have also read that depending on how healthy you are, your body could take up to 90 days to clear up.
I'd say start with getting your thyroid checked.
feel better soon and good luck at the doctor's

Uh, that would be a negative on the rescan of my thyroid. I have no motivation to do it, even though I have the script to set up the appointment.

Guess I'd better get going. I know I won't have anything to report though, not until the bloodwork results get back.

Byeeeeeee and thanks all!

sweetie

Sorry you are not feeling well sweetie!! I had 9 months AF w/ AA, but physically NEVER felt good, even though I was sleeping well and all that stuff, that is why I started drinking again! DUH,DUH, DUH!!!! Well, drinking didn't help!! I know now it was depression.

Hope your doc figures it out, hope it is "fixable", you are probably at the doctor's right now, but know that I was thinking of you when I read this today...............been rather busy for a change, a good feeling.............sorry I didn't see this til now, fellow Pittsburgher!!

Love you, I will be thinkin about ya this afternoon..................:h:l
