So I am really struggling to get things under control. I have many issues that contribute to my weight issues.....first and foremost I lost about 110lbs untill Feb I gained 60lbs in 25 days(total gain during adjusting to right dose is about 80lbs).........had blood work done and sure enough my thyroid decided it was not getting enough meds so unto adjustments and increases..........finally about a month ago my weight has stabilized and stopped gain weight....now just need it to go back down. To top this off I also need to have b12 injections twice a month but the va doesn't have any in stock and am lucky to get even one shot every other month. Ugh.....B12 affects weight too and energy. Just had blood work done too and now my vit d needs to go up too ugh.....and my iron..........so tried of being out of whack and is very frustrating. I feel like i have taken 1000 steps backward with all these things..............and have a huge lack of energy and I know it is linked to these things as all these deficences can cause lack of energy it is just that latly I feel like it is worse than what it has been. I go to the gym and am there 30mins and ready to go home and go to bed. It use to be I would feel energized from going. The dr at the va doesn't seem to get the difference. Went to my civilian PCP and and she was like umm why aren't they sending your script to an outside pharmacy than your are way to low....close being hospitalized.....va dr response is well we don't have it in stock............ok been months now.........I go to the va because I am participating in a CITI program that allows me to have a discounted medical services as I am a grad student and my husband is a 100% T and P disabled vet so I have to save us money where I can.
anyone else having these issues...............so frustrated
