Wahoo! Don't worry about the small gain too much, you're doing good hanging in there with the exhaustion. I hope your doctor figures out a plan of action to get you feeling better. I hope you decided on a 5-day weekend (in my book that's called a vacation!). Have fun with your friends, and friends that eat like birds are great for helping you stay OP. :) Hi Pamela - great news on NO cancer. Wahoo!

I too went completely off program Saturday; I started eating potato chips that I thought were baked and before I knew it, realized that they weren't, and by that time, I was like, "why not throw in a little Doritos, I haven't had those in over a month!" It kind of progressed from there, but I'm back OP today. Good vibes coming your way regarding your ultrasound! Pamela,

Taking a little break from Weight Watchers is okay, and if you have a little gain tomorrow, that's okay too. Once they figure out exactly what treatment to get you on and you're not so tired and are feeling better, you'll be okay. Good luck with the MRI. I hope it goes well. Oh - and chocolate AND Lean Cuisine pizza? That's so something I would do. :) Diana Pamela - kiddo, you’ve got a lot on your shoulders right now with worrying about your health and dealing with the exhaustion.

I just googled Hypothyroidism and although what I read says it's rarely life threatening, the symptoms sound horrible. I'm so sorry you're going through this, and then to have the added worries of medical bills is just too much. I'm sure you've done this, but most doctors/clinics have payment plans. When I was about your age I had a cyst on my tailbone and had to have surgery and an overnight hospital stay. I had insurance, but my portion was huge (well, to me at the time it was huge). Anyway, I did a payment plan and took a couple years to pay it off. Regardless of the cost, you have to get a second opinion. It sounds like you're determined to do this, which is good. Take care of yourself and you're in my thoughts and prayers. ~Diana Pamela - get thee to another doctor - fast!

I had hypothyroidism during my last pregnancy that I was medicated for and then it vanished once I gave birth. I know what a drag it is to be tired all the time, so hang in there. As far as de-stressing, I think I would love to go and stay in a luxurious hotel for the weekend, take long walks around a cool city and watch t.v. in the comfy bed w/out being disturbed! Good luck with everything! Hey Pamela,

You're still doing an awesome job, and next week will be better. About being so tired, I hope everything is okay. Let us know when you get your bloodwork results back. I'll try the praying thing for you again, guess it can't hurt. :) ~Diana Good girl for looking at the positives, and you’re right on the money with them.
