Hi There,
I have gone to the Dr. about my thoughts that I am currently within the Hypothyroidism class. I'm always tired and no matter how much sleep I get, I'm still drained. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, so I know some is from there. But I began having some weight gain that I can't get rid of, dry skin, always cold, nails that won't grown, and just plain feeling of ick. My Dr. said the "T" tests came back ok, but in the middle area so I should be fine. We went onto diagnosing me with IBS from there. My younger sister is only 12 and has been on Thyroid meds for 2 yrs as she has Hyperthyroidism. My Grandmother had her Thyroid removed when she was 16 due to it cutting off her air passage. I honestly think there is something wrong and the Dr. just isn't pushing it enough. My thoughts are to get a second opinion, but I don't want to sound like I'm being over dramatic.
Thank you for your thoughts and support.
Have a great day!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
