Same old story, same old song and dance, my friend.

So, what I said in my last entry was true; the flip side of it all is that I also have developed some serious health conditions since 2014 - hell, since Christmas! I'm trying to deal with all of them, but it's not easy, and sometimes, I really feel like I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Most of the time, really

It's huge that they were able to diagnose your thyroid problem. My mom had that, and the meds made such a difference to her. Here's hoping there isn't a long period of adjustment to the drug and that you start feeling less exhausted fairly soon -- if not already.

I hear you with your frustration about your weight. I'm struggling with making changes, as well. I've had bad knees for awhile, and it turns out I have osteoarthritis in both and will need knee replacements -- not if, but when. Who knows, maybe even this year if things don't improve. I've already had cortisone shots twice, but they don't last very long. The doctor says "lose weight" because your knees will be much better off. I know that, and I'm trying, but it's not easy, and I never seem to be able to lose more than 10 lbs -- which won't cut it, really. I'm limited in what exercise I can get, because when your knees hurt, there's not a lot you can do! So I'm trying to control my diet. It's helped that DH has a controlled diet after his heart attack, and he's really disciplined, but I guess I'm just not all that disciplined. ;-)

Anyway, I don't have any good advice, but I did want you to know that I'm with you, supporting you, and struggling along with you as we try to make changes that will improve our health even a little bit!

Love you! <3 <3
