Today I was so tired I just felt like giving up all day. I’ve been thinking it’s a sinus infection – sore glands in my neck, really crusty eyes in the morning, tired, tired, tired. Today I searched “middle aged women fatigue” in MedlinePlus”, and the first thing was Subacute thyroiditis. It’s every symptom I’ve got – even the hard to swallow sometimes. I am hypothyroid – I’ve been taking a thyroid replacement since 2005. Maybe my dose is outta whack, or something. I like how the treatment for Subacute thyroiditis is aspirin and wait:
The condition should improve on its own. However, the illness may last for months. Long-term or severe complications do not usually occur.
I had plans to cook a nice dinner – steamed asparagus, smashed new potatoes with lots of butter, salmon with chopped tomatoes on top, big salad. But Mark was just heading out for his walk at 6:15 when I got home, and the big dinner didn’t seem like such a good idea – so I just made the salad.
Now I think I’m going to go flop on the couch, and hope the cats will come to hold me down.
