Princess did not seem to be bouncing back as quickly as we thought she should. She has been extremely tired and quiet, offering to go to bed at 8:00 at night. She has been going the wrong way on the scale at weight watchers, even though she has been tracking faithfully and not eating over points. There have been lots of emotional roller coaster moments lately, too. We were getting worried.
So after blood work....
Just got back from the Endocrinologist's office and it turns out that her thyroid is totally out of whack. She does take Synthroid, but evidently not enough. The Dr. described symptoms to us and voila!, that's our Princess described with every symptom.
He does not know whether this was caused by all the meds that she has been on over the past month or two for the lung issues...
(or a tiny growth spurt of 1/2 inch?--(who would have thought, at 22 years of age!)
So he upped her dosage two steps...
He also said that we should notice a difference in two weeks. Then more blood work in 3 months...
Poor Princess, she has been miserable...
But now we have answers, and that is good!

Lord have mercy! that would be stressful... adding her to my and Mr. Husband's prayer list for the ill... sending a HUG your way!
I'm so glad you got that figured out, and I hope she will be better soon
Oh, poor Princess, and what a terrible worry for you....I am so glad the problem has been identified and it will be easily treatable !
