Bloodletting and Hopeful #hypothyroidism

Well, the chronic fatigue is hitting me hard.  I am passing out in my bed in the middle of the afternoon.  Luckily my son just watches tv, and plays with his toys right next to me.  Poor guy.  I've been taking him out in the mornings so he does get his play times in with his friends. But, by the time the afternoon comes, the fatigue kicks in. I am thinking I am - A) overdosing on my thyroid hormones. B) Really hurting my thyroid with my low carb, high fat diet.

I got my bloodletting Monday.  In other words, my blood was tested. Hopefully with good news, that my thyroid hormones are overdosing. If that is the case, then the diet is in the right direction.  If it's not, then the doctor and I need to talk about better options.  

I am hoping that my thyroid dosage needs to be decreased, because if I can cure my thyroid, simply by avoiding too many carbs and dangerous grains, then by God so shall it be!  

We'll know more tomorrow.  Wish me luck.
