I saw a new doctor on the 20th. I think she suspects sleep apnea. I was dx'd with that a long time ago, used a CPAP for a long time. Then I lost weight and didn't need it anymore. I've gained weight now. About 6 months ago I attempted to use the CPAP again but it is old and needs at least a new mask, but at the time I didn't have a doctor.
Anyway, she mentioned a sleep study. But I have a $2,000 deductible and no free money to pay upfront. I really just want to lose the weight but I realize that sleeping well might help that. So maybe before the end of the year I will have enough saved for a new sleep study, and possibly a new CPAP.

I am hypothyroid, have been for years and am pretty good about getting the daily med in for that.

I had lab work done last Friday so maybe that will show something.

At the moment I have a cold sore and all that goes with that (flu-like symptoms, for me).

And, yes notz, I have also found that I didn't know I was trying to suppress something when I was fatigued, but I noticed the flow of energy that came with the relief of talking about something in therapy. Thanks

Will be interested in what, if anything, the lab results have to say.
Thanks for this!
