Got back from the doctors' office about 20 minutes ago, and had to take several deep breaths. He kind of chewed my out for almost waiting too long. Gotta love Aussie terminology. "If ya'd waited much longer, you would have gone starkers." Now where I come from, going starkers means running around nude. Here, it means going totally fruit loopy. Turns out my thyroid medication wasn't sufficient, and with all the physical symptoms on top of the low function depression was nudging me into a deeper depression, that could have ended up in a psychosis. (no wonder the damned mood swings!) Oh joy! The good news is, it can be taken care of! My dosage has been doubled, and in 6 weeks I go back for another baseline test.. and if the levels aren't right, or if the depression isn't lifting, I will be put on (short term use) antidepressants to prevent the depression from driving me over the edge.

I should have known there was something wrong with me, but I just wasn't paying that much attention. Too damned busy all the time. NOW my life might start getting back to normal!
