I'm guessing that those of you who know me in real life might debate that statement but my Dr did confirm that I'm not totally nuts. On the flip side I am totally hormonally unbalanced. I think I was relieved to get the test results back.
Evidently I am ridiculously low on vitamin D. There isn't enough sun in the world to get me up to "normal" so I have started a RX strength Vitamin that I'll take for 3 months and then hopefully I'll be able to just use a over the counter supplement. I have also started taking Seasonix birth control pills and hopefully they will even out the hormone issues. I'm investigating a endometrial ablation. From what I understand it has had a lot of success and about 60% of women don't have a period after the procedure. Lot of women use it as a way to deal with crazy cycles with out hormone pills or hysterectomy. I think it is all worth considering at this point.
I'm not really sure what the exact fix was but I'm starting to feel better. At least I haven't bitten any one's head off in well over a week. I did throw a quick vacation (long weekend) in the middle so I'm guessing that helped to.
Ah better days are on the way :-)
It's always just releaving in itself to hear a cause, a reason why you don't feel well. There's not many more things more frustrating than leaving the doctors still uncertain what is wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear they have a direction now of treatment that hopefully can bring better days for you!
Good to hear that good times are on the way! :) I saw this on Dr. Phil one (LOL), how women can be hormonally unbalanced. Kind of scary, but at least they figured it out!
ReplyDeletetotally off topic of your blog, but I heard the Ri-guy got his 1st haircut while he was down. Aunt Lynds is quite wonderful. ( =
