I’m coming up to 3 weeks on the very-small-dose thyroid pills and already I feel a little more energetic and slightly less foggy. Of course, this improvement could be the placebo effect – but I care not if it is. I’d chew on old towels for a good outcome at this point.

Upon investigation, I was surprised to learn (thanks InformationSuperhighway) just how many symptoms of a sluggish thyroid are things I have; viz:
+ dry, itchy, alligator skin
+ unhappy innards, poor digestion
+ ridgey, peely nails
+ fatigue, low energy
+ brain fog, memory issues, trouble concentrating
+ weight gain
+ puffy face
+ increased cholesterol
+ cold hands and feet
+ slow heart rate
+ hairless arms and legs

What a list! Seen together in this way it’s little wonder I feel meh (and itchy).

I’m hopeful by the end of January I’ll begin to feel a little more normal.
