I broke down.. called the doctor today. Talked to a nurse about all my sypmtoms I am having. She wanted me up there ASAP to get a blood glucose test. It was good. 96. And that was 2 and 1/2 hrs after eating. So they had the doctor come in. He asked how I was doing.. i told him everything thats been going on.
1.Loss of hair ( gobs when I wash it and sometimes more when I run my fingers thru my hair)
2. Thirsty all the time.
3. gaining more weight, despite more controled amount of food I am eating.
4. Almost a sure thing that I fall asleep 1/2 to 3/4 hr after i eat.
5.Lack of energy.. * have had this a long time*
6 constant tired feeling. This has been more so the past few months.
7.More sensitive to cold temps.
8.Depression. Which has increased.
9. Hair is dry but yet scalp is oilier. ( thought I had this figured out till this symptom) Are you thinking what I am?
10. MUSCLE CRAMPS AND STIFFNESS.... hmmm... is this something i thought might have been Fibromyalgia? Or is it a combination of both?

Thyroid. Doc thinks the same thing.. even with that other symptom thrown in there. BUT .. he also said that all of this could be stress also.. I agree... but I've seen myself in stressful situations.. and most of these symptoms do not show up for me.

So after I saw doc, he sent me across the hall to get blood tests for Hemoglobin A1c test. And Thryroid blood test. Dont ask which one because I was still sleepy and didnt even feel them poking me with the needle really.

I got home and I am thinking .. why did i drive? As bad as I feel.. I should not have been driving.

IDK.. all of this is scarey. My brother that passed away had alot of these things wrong, my mom died of diabetes, my grandparents did too. So there is a strong family history of it. I hope to get this figured out soon. I hope. They said 2 of the 3 blood tests should be back by tomorrow afternoon.. if not all 3. I dont want anything to be wrong .. but yet I do want to know if something is.
