So my test results came back

And it's seems this new sleep doctor might be a keeper. She was the first person in the last few years to test my thyroid and sure enough I have hyperthyroidism. She said it could be part of the reason why I'm struggling with sleep and why my anxiety and ocd have been so much worse this past year.

So she is starting me on tapazole. She did say be patient because it can take a few weeks for me to notice the effects of the meds. She wants me to keep track of my system. I told her that why I brought my partner lol

Maybe I will finally get some sleep

Awesome!
Are you still seeing the doctor who recommended the previous sleep doctor? Cousin or something?
Poppies · 61-69, F
@Cigarguy But I was thinking the old sleep doctor was the cousin of another doctor or therapist you had? What I was wondering was if you still see the one who did the recommending.

@Poppies yes my new neurologist did recommend the sleep doctor that I was seeing. And they are related. But that sleep doctor did not test my thyroid like I asked I do feel a little bad because she was the one that helped me organize and get my meds in a better order. But I just feel like this new doctor I met today is a better fit for me. I'm sure my neurologist will understand. It just comes down to it I have to find somebody that will help me sleep.

@Poppies Joe did a lot of research and found this new doctor she's not very close to us she lives in overland Park Kansas which is quite a drive but like I said if it gets me to sleep it'll be worth it

Is this the GOOD sleep doctor that Joel found for you? It certainly seems so!
Cigarguy · 41-45, M
@4meAndyou yes it is the one that he found. She's the one that is out in overland Park Kansas it's quite a drive for us but it's showing to be worth it so far
All it takes is just one doc to listen to the patient instead of relying on books, I have had that problem for years. I fucking hate docs because 99% do not listen, mt Dad, who was an RN in the 70's into tke early 80's despised them, my sis in law who is an RN hates docs with a passion.

@NativePortlander1970 I'm not excited about taking another pill but if it helps I'm okay with it. It explains so many of my issues this year
@Cigarguy It could stop other pills
Cigarguy · 41-45, M
@NativePortlander1970 that is true. I could with my anxiety OCD and sleeping problems. Guess only time will tell
