What a night!

I haven't been feeling too great the past 2 weeks and over the past week having difficulty breathing. Adding to my stress already is a husband who works loooong hours (b/c he has to), running around after 2 kids all day & the heat!!!! No Lammone ALONE time.
I checked myself into the emergency room(Urgent Care) around 9:45pm (I drove myself b/c I am still able to function). After an okay EKG and X-rays, I had to go to a hospital for a CT Scan & blood work. I got to Beaumont Hospital around midnight & had to check into the ER even though I did a transfer. I sat there for an hour and this poor 82yr old lady was moaning & groaning and throwing up for most of my time there. Thank goodness there was a curtain btwn us.
I finally got to see a doctor & he felt that I didn't need a CT Scan & this was mostly anxiety & possibly a thyroid issue.
Halfway during my pregnancy with Kiersten, it was discovered that I had Hyper Thyroid. I had to take 6 pills a day (on top of prenatal & iron pills) & had to have my blood drawn every 2 weeks to check my TSA (THA?) levels. I leveled off near the end of my pregnancy & was given the okay sign not to take any more meds. However, it's immune suppressant so I can be okay for a while & then feel the symptoms. This may be why it took me so long to lose weight with Kiersten. It took me nearly a year to get to pre-pregnancy weight where it took me 4 weeks with Peter. My metabolism was all out of wack.
I am waiting on the results of my bloodwork. If its the thyroid issue, it's manageable at least!!! I see my doctor on Friday anyway so at least he can give me my prescription immeaditately without additional bloodwork. I got home at 2:30am and I am tired.
