nattering about fatigue
I an still taking daily naps.  I know this is nothing to complain about, and having the opportunity to do this is awesome.  I'm just a little concerned about what this could mean.

This could still be recovering from surgery, the second one was only seven days ago.  But it could also be my thyroid hormone levels already sliding out of whack, which would mean this is a preview of the best energy levels I'll have until late July - early August.  <sigh> 

I took off the extra tape that J and I had added to my neck right after coming home, the areas that were covered are still a really dark red.  I see the surgeon next week on Tuesday, it'll be interesting to see what my neck looks like without tape, it's been a while.

I notice a huge difference if I miss 2 days of pills. My former roommate swears I become a raging bitch if I miss 1. So... it is very likely a combination of recovery and crazy thyroidness.

But hey, it's not cancer! Also, naps are very fun and sometimes having off balance thyroid will cause crazy vivid dreams which is REALLY fun.

Maybe that is what is up with the crazy dreams I have been having. I was just attributing it to getting so much sleep that I was spending more time in REM, but they have been numerous and wacky this week.

I've warned my boyfriend that apparently he will know my pill schedule as well as I do. He looked a little nervous about that - heh.

my mate also swears i become a moodswinging bitchy fiend if i miss a single pill....but for 'i'd rather starve than get out of this bed' i usually have to miss a week. don't knock the nappage, it's probably a little of each.

I wonder how quickly it will be noticeable for me, I've given J a heads up already that he might notice before I do. It just makes purposely going off the pills a little more exciting for all of us I guess.

I bet the naps are just situational- major stress comedown and don't have a full time job yet. Your body is just responding to the opportunity to nap. I think once you get a routine going again, you'll perk up. I would savor the chance to nap though, make sure you are as healed as you can be, emotionally and physically, before you get into the swing of working again. I am glad things seem to mostly be going ok for you since the news and am glad of the updates!

Thanks! Yeah I think I just need to stop feeling guilty about the naps. I've managed to not nap this weekend, and I think it was mostly just having stuff to do that kept me awake. So I'm less freaked about it now.

I think you bounced back from the friday because you are in good shape and take care of yourself. Two fridays in a row, with the accompanying stress, is a lot!

You'll ramp up to good energy levels, soon.
