Increased thyroid antibodies. Pre-hypothyroidism.
Finally, an explanation (and, I'll admit it, a welcome excuse) for the forgetfulness, depression, fatigue, weird weight gain, etc. that has plagued my last 10 to 12 months. Heck, it even causes cravings for carbohydrates and caffeine. (I'd blame my poor bowling skills and hatred of folding laundry on my thyroid if I could get away with it, but that's probably pushing it.)
So, I'm starting a medication to stop my thyroid from lounging around in its pjs all day, and hopefully get it kicked back into gear.
(Yes, it's true that I just wrote a blog post about wearing my pjs for a full day, but, come on, that was Christmas.)
