Thanks everyone...I suspected hypothyroid as well. I am thinking even a small change even if within normal would have an affect on me. And I also think the opiates had something to do with it. I have only been off them (again) for about 2 weeks.

I am going to the doctor on July 8 for regular physical. I am going to request to get it tested again. I only had it tested once (that I recall) and that was about 2.5 years ago.

Yes, I will keep you posted. Thanks again!
