Here's the thing - I have been feeling like CRAP for weeks now. Tired, achy, and generally not well. I chalked it up to being a busy mom of three...but then I started wondering about my thryoid levels. This lump has doubled in size since last time anyone checked my blood - what if it wasn't ok?!
Then, worrying about my thyroid got me worried about the big C. Like if have a potentially cancerous lump currently growing on my thyroid, then maybe it's already spread and is ravaging my body and that's why I feel like crap. Of course I thought that, don't all sane people think like me?!
So instead of chastising myself for being a mental case, off I went to request bloodwork. My GP did a full work up to cover all bases. She wasn't supposed to call unless the results were worrisome, and even then I wasn't expecting to hear till at least Monday. So you can imagine how I felt when she called today - a Saturday. OMG I must be dying.
Nope, not even close. All is well in fact, but somehow I think she knows I'm crazy (she HAS been my doctor for a dozen years after all - I may have given her a hint a time or two in the past). She kindly put me out of my misery and called me as soon as she got the results to tell me I am fine. Just fine. Iron on the low side, probably explaining the tiredness, but otherwise fit as a fiddle.
Clearly I am tired and sore because I am out of shape and have two almost 30 pound babies who still need to be carried everywhere. Time to hit the gym maybe?! No denying how out of shape I am anymore :(
I am so glad that things came back fine! I can attest to the fact that low iron makes you tired (even more so than the carrying of 2, 30 pond babies). Iron supplementation will definitely help give you more energy.

So glad that you are OK Tracey! YOu had me worried for a minute. Maybe the canucks had something to do with it too? All that stress when it went to 7 games??? When it should have only been 4?
ReplyDeleteYou were owed some good news my dear :) All our love and still planning on joining you in June. LOL boco and coco
ReplyDeleteEven those of us who lift weights on a regular basis have difficulty with those 30 lb babies, so don't beat yourself up! With all the running around you do, you deserve to be a tired mom. Glad all was well ;0)))
