AH HA!

I had an AH HA! moment this morning.

I've been sweating my ass off lately. I couldn't figure out for the life of me why being a mother and taking care of the same household things I've been doing would make me super sweaty and stinky.

Then recently, I got increasingly tired. Like exhausted constantly. Even more recently, I've been feeling like I'm starving and I have been eating nonstop.

I kept having the thought of depression haunting me. Then for some reason the thought occured to me. What if my thyroid medication dose is too high? It would mimic the symptoms of hyperthyroidism:

Difficulty concentrating (check)


Fatigue (check)

Frequent bowel movements

Goiter (visibly enlarged thyroid gland) or thyroid nodules

Heat intolerance

Increased appetite (check)

Increased sweating (check)

Irregular menstrual periods in women

Nervousness (check)

Restlessness (check)

Weight loss (rarely, weight gain) (check)

Gonna get that checked out.
