He did a ton of bloodwork on me. He does not think I have diabetes, my last 2 blood sugars were fine but he did say there is always a chance. He did however say something that made me sit up and take notice. He thinks I am suffering from depression. After reading and talking about some things I agree with him. For anyone interested here are the symptoms of depression.
1. Feeling tired most of the time, even without having worked, and despite adequate rest.
2. Disturbances in sleeping habits, usually sleeplessness during most of the night, or sometimes excess sleepiness even during the day.
3. Irritability, leading to upsets over little things that normally would not bother you.
4. Sadness, for no apparent reason, often breaking into tears without knowing why.
5. Loss of sex drive
6. Headache which is not usually severe, but is present much of the time as a dull ache.
7. Chronic pain in back, abdomen or elsewhere which may be quite severe and is REAL not imaginary.
8. Lack of enthusiasm or feelings of enjoyment, even for doing those things that were formerly favorites.
9. Inability to concentrate, to make decisions to study, to get things done.
10. Indigestion, constipation or diarrhea, changes in appetite that often lead to weight loss or in a few cases overeating and weight gain.
11. Feeling unwanted, sinful, guilty, and worthless, sometimes leading to the thought that life is not worth living.
I am waiting for the blood work to come back before he puts me on any meds and yes sis I will get my thyroid checked. He also wants Tony and I to get couples counseling. Almost unbelievable Tony has said he is willing to go, I about fell out of the chair when he told me. You see I have asked before but the answer was always no way. I feel bad he told me he loved me today and asked if I still loved him. While I told him yes I am not sure if that is true, but I will not be making any major life discussions until I am feeling better. Thank you all for the well wishes hopefully we will know something in the next few days.
