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?
Cigarguy · M
@Poppies no I won't be seeing that sleep doctor anymore. I'll be staying with this one from now on. I liked her very much

@geoam1 I am just glad I might have hope of getting some sleep soon
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 Joel and I have asked many times if they have tested my thyroid this past year. No one felt it was necessary. I am pretty sure it's one of the things he talked to her about when making my appointment
@Cigarguy They always claim the thyroid is never the problem when most of the time it is.

@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
