I am between endos right now. I fired my other one and now waiting for my new one to review my med records and call me with an appointment. In the mean time.... I feel like HELL. I am so freakin tired. I am taking all of my meds, vitamins, etc., eating like I should be on most days. I WANT to get up early and exercise but I cant drag my butt out of bed. I barely have enough energy to get through the day then when I want to go to sleep, I cant sleep.
When I go to my new endo - I want to ask him to do specific tests, especially the adrenal test. I really think my adrenals are shot from years of synthetic T, then going off of them, being "undiagnosed, then more synthetic, then too low of a dose of natural T, etc. What tests do I (or can I) ask for?
I just want to lose the excess weight. I dont want to be a body builder, or the next "Hot Mom" model or anything like that. I just want to be myself but in a healthy weight range. What am I doing wrong... other than not exercising, which I am aware is a necessity but its a viscious cirlce - need to exercise to lose weight, need to have energy to exercise, etc.
What can I do? How can I help myself? I am so frustrated and I feel like I will be overweight forever. I get so tired of counting and logging and beating myself up, and feeling like crap, and being too tired and all of that other stuff. Yes, I need to exercise more... a lot more, but how am I supposed to make myself do that when I barely have the energy to function?
