That's my story at this point.

Thanks Red Rock. I'm feeling great. I see how lucky I am to have a diagnosis. I feel for all of you who are struggling with this. I hope you all get properly treated. I didn't know how bad I felt until now that I feel good, so if you're aware something's wrong, you must really feel terrible. Don't give up.
So here are some of the changes I've noticed already: I have more energy. Twice this week we've gone out after work (after commuting)! That's huge for me. My skin is super soft like a baby's. I'm getting visited by Mr. Sandman when I sleep, getting that little crust in the corners if my eyes. I don't think I've had that for years, and I don't know exactly what it means, but it seems like a good thing. I've stopped needing naps. My blood pressure is back to normal (it had been high recently). The depression is gone! My neck doesn't hurt anymore. I can sleep without socks. My hands are warm. I am happy again.
The only thing left is for my hair to grow back. It sucks that I've lost so much, but if it didn't happen, I wouldn't have gotten diagnosed. It's also helping me gain compassion, so that's another silver lining.
