@Eileen-I just completed my first month of thyroid meds and had my blood drawn last week, waiting on the results, I don't think it helped much but understand, I need to give it some time.
@Steve-I hope the thyroid meds help you get some energy back too. The hardest thing for me is trying to get my husband to understand that it's not a "need rest/nap" kind of tired, it's never ending fatigue.
@Eric-You always make me laugh! I too only use my dr for minor things and still double check with my MO. Even though I worked as an Oncology Nurse, I just treated them in a clinic, hanging chemo, never saw them after tx ended, so never heard of someone having CRF but no doubt it's a real deal! At least, I'm able to educate some fellow nurses.
@Susan-I do think alot of it is the fact that I am very active in being a taxi cab for my kids daily activities/functions!LOL I too am completely OCD when it comes to keeping my house tidy so that doesn't help. I use to have a nanny to help me out but let her go in Feb and had a housekeeper but also let her go in August. My husband thinks we need to bring the housekeeper back to give me a break but I just want to be the person I use to be, unfortunately I'm not.
@Christine-Thanks my friend, I am doing better!
@Minh-Thanks, you put a smile on my face! You just finished with txs so I completely understand where you are coming from. I remember the days when I use to watch them play or they would go fun places without me because I was too weak and tired. Please know that it does get better.
