Thankfully I received a diagnosis today. Hypothyroidism. Apparently my TSH levels were critically high, and a lot of my other labs were off which is indicative of the diagnosis. Also it may have actually been the reason for my heavy menstrual periods. No one is really quite sure what symptoms are related to my diagnosis, but hopefully with medication, my TSH levels will normalize and I will be able to determine which symptoms are resolved and which ones are not, so that I can move forward with my treatment and progress towards my healthy lifestyle.
I'm not sure why some diagnoses are easier to hear than others, but this one isn't as distressing as some of the earlier things with which I have been diagnosed.
I am preparing for some serious financial ventures - moving, first time home buying, adoption. I can't wait until I start working a full-time job and have a successful professional career, so that I can work towards some of the goals I have set for myself in the next 5 years. But more to come on that later.
C'est la vie.
