Going to the doctor

I have made this decision because I think I may be having some problems with my hypothyroid that i cannot control.

Last week I was down by 2.7 lbs this week I have gained 10 lbs. How you ask? I have absolutely no idea. I have been running and walking,  I have been eating extremely well. I weighed myself Last Saturday and Ai was close to 262-263 I weighed myself today and I am at 271.5. How is that possible? To gain close to 10 lbs within 2-3 days is impossible. I went to my doctor last week for my follow up bloodwork and was told that my doctor was overbooked and I would have to wait an hour before even being called back to be put in a room. I told them to cancel my appointment and reschedule. They tell me that she won’t be open again until July because she is super booked. I took me 2 months to get the appointment that I’d had last week and i had to cancel that!  So I ask what’s going on? I really need to have my blood work done and everytime I call I get the same ole sob story that I have to wait 2-3 months before I can be seen. So the patient greeter asks me when was the last time I had my bloodwork done and I tell her October. OCTOBER?!?!? I’m supposed to have my bloodwork checked every 3 months for my hypothyroid! So I suggest well since you all have my charts can I have another doctor do the follow up? She says ofcourse. Just give us a call and we can schedule you with another doctor. HELLO?!?! I’m standing in the doctors office why do I have to go home and THEN call back and make an appointment? Why can’t I speak to someone now and just make an appointment? Because everyone is booked and no one has time.

Okay so it’s time to find a new doctor and a new office to take my business too. This is ridiculous. Mind you I’m still in shock about the gain so I go to put on a shirt that I literally had on last week and it’s tight I mean like super super tight. I haave it on today and I can barely move. When I was 30 lbs lighter this shirt swallowed me so ofcourse I’m a little sad about this,  but seriously I think something is very wrong. My whole right side of my body has been feeling tingly all day and My whole right side of my head hurts. I swear I am at a loss as to what to do…..

Good news is that I get to work half a day this week and make up some much needed uninterrupted work this weekend so I can afford to schedule a doctors appointment. Now it’s just a matter of finding a good place and having my records transferred.

Normally I would have many excuses for the weight gain. Maybe it’s muscle because I am building muscle with all of the running, or maybe it’s water weight because I haven’t been drinking enough water. But it’s not either of those because I drink more than enough water and I haven’t been lifting any weights within the last 2-3 days shoot the last 2-3 months for that matter.  I honestly don’t know what’s going on and it bothers me. I am very aware of my body and changes and none of this looks good to me.

Please keep me lifted in prayer that I find a good doctor and get the help that I need. I can’t afford to go back up in weight it’s affecting me mentally and physically and this is not good. I have gain almost 40 lbs according to now on the scales over the past 3 months.
