I will tell you that I always forget why I love my doctor so much. To tell you the truth I do not like doctors at all (if you couldn't tell). I don't know why but for some reason I just do not like doctors.
Anyways, this morning was hard for me to get up because I only got about 3 hours. I had to take Logan to work and then when home to eat breakfast. When I got to the office I was falling asleep in the chair in the front office and when I was back in the room waiting for Dr. Wheeler. I will tell you that I didn't even wait for 5 minutes before she got to the room. When she walked in the room she could just tell that there was a problems.
After we started to talk about, I explained what kind of symptoms I was having and everything that she need to know that I was doing for my health. I will tell you I felt like crying the whole time I was there because I am just so done with everything that has to do my health. Dr. Wheeler said that my body isn't responding to the thyroid medicine. She said that she wanted to up the dose from what I have been on. I told her that it was fine but I wanted to do something that is more natural for the body. She asked if I wanted to do the Armour Thyroid. When she said that my whole body relaxed but I didn't let it because I think I may have passed out in a way. We also talked about do part of the 5-2 diet. This has to do with eating like I usually do but two days of the week I have to only take 500 calories. I talked to her about maybe just juicing those days and she said that would be great. She than told me that there is more to my health problems. She told me that it is most likely adrenal fatigue. There isn't really a test to take but it's Ok because she knew from my symptoms what was going on. So she gave me a supplement for my adrenal glands to help them go back to normal.
I will tell you that adrenal fatigue is due to some type of trauma, under a lot of stress and many more things. So my doctor subject that I should see a counselor for anxiety problems. Well, I will be truthful. I have been seeing one for 2 months now. There has been many things that I probably should have been able to deal with things like the miscarriage and more that I have to help with the grieving progress that I always just pushed off when I needed to cry. I am truly grateful that Logan was supportive about the decision in the first place. He has even joined me in one the of the sessions and it helped him understand a lot of what I have gone thru and what I am going thru right now which is a life savior for me.
Dr Wheeler did say that it would be a good idea to still see Dr. Merrill and have some test done and see if there are more problems with my ovaries or tubes because if they are it will take some time to fix. I will be see her next week on Tuesday and I guess I will have to see what tests and the results are. I sure am praying for some answers there for sure too.
I would say that I am very happy that things are getting figuring out now. I know that there are times when I just want answers and I want things to just go back to normal before I started getting sick but there are things that I need to know or learn before I need to more on with life. We sure do have a wild ride for life.
