A few weeks ago I made a post asking if anyone has had symptoms of rapid weight loss, loss of strength and stamina, and general tiredness. I can't find the thread. I figured I owed you all an update.
After a bunch of blood work, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. It's an autoimmune disease that causes an overactive thyroid. Once I started seeing the blood tests come in it all made so much sense.
The name sounds a lot worse than it is. They started me on meds and literally within a couple of days I seemed almost back to normal.
I was definitely worried that it could have been something more serious - not that this is something I can take lightly. Buit on a lighter side, the weight loss was pretty good timing since I recently went to the beach. ;-)
