Still waiting

for the energy and whatever. My hubby thinks he sees a difference, I think he's got wishful thinking.

I do feel like the brain fog has lifted somewhat. Crosswords are beginning to look interesting again. I read a whole book this week without losing it somewhere. I made a grocery list and actually made it to the store with the list in my purse instead of on the dining room table.

The insomnia is still here. I don't have much hope for anything helping that but.. you never know.

I have lost 10 lbs! No diet, no changes. Doc McV said I might lose weight.

I have been reading a lot online about thyroid and it is a very complicated thing. I was amazed at the many problems a low thyroid can contribute to.

I am learning to make crepes. We love them and the first batch turned out pretty good. I love Bob Evans crepes but needed a low sugar version.

Have a nice weekend.

Thyroid

Yep, the latest thing to go wrong with my body. I have an underactive thyroid. I am taking one little pill every day. My doctor says I should feel really good in about three months or so. Apparently that little bitty pill can take a long time to work. But she says that when it kicks in I will be amazed at how much better I feel. She said that most people can't believe how bad they felt before being diagnosed and treated. I hope so.

And my A1C was still high so my metformin dose has been doubled.

This is a new doctor. My old one retired and he wasn't really paying attention to things. I would have changed doctors a while back but this is a small town and it is hard to get into a doctor's practice. We don't seem to have enough GPs here. I do like this woman tho. She seems very detail oriented, which is what you want your doc to be. We'll see.

Anyway, here I am waiting for the energy or whatever to kick in.

Happy Fourth of July!!

I hope you and your family have a nice day today. So far we have been slightly rained on and the sky is overcast. Won't stop me tho. I am fixing spare ribs on the grill. T and K are both working today so we will eat at our normal time.

Our fireworks were Saturday and we missed them. I love fireworks and would go every year if I could find someone to go with me.

Love you, little sister. Have a nice holiday.
