Let’s Get Checked part 1

You may have seen this post already on my Facebook and Instagram page but I’m posting it here as well as part of my continuing efforts to get a handle on my health. Thanks for reading 🙂

I’m tired y’all. CONSTANTLY tired. Sometimes getting out of bed in the morning is a monumental task. There are days where all I can do is the bare minimum. I suffer with bouts of depression and inexplicable sadness and I have days where I feel completely normal and functional. I lose so much hair in the shower that I’ve often mistaken the glob of hair for a critter! I’ve had routine blood work done and all of the results were in the “normal” range.

So what the hell is wrong with me?!?!?!

There’s got to be an explanation!

When I received an email from LetsGetChecked I was hesitant but after I looked at their website I decided it was worth a shot.

I talked with the folks at LetsGetChecked and we decided that due to my symptoms a Thyroid test may be just what I need to start figuring things out!

Did you know that your thyroid is responsible for producing, storing and releasing triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Those thyroid hormones control your metabolic rate, mood and energy levels, cholesterol levels, nervous system, heart rate, body temp, digestive function, muscle control, brain development, and hair growth.

When those hormones are out of whack it can lead to a whole host of issues ranging from annoying to downright dangerous!

Hopefully with the help of LetsGetChecked I’ll get some answers.

The kit arrives with everything you need to collect and return a sterile blood sample for testing. It was super easy to follow the instructions and literally took less than 5 minutes start to finish. The ONLY thing that took any kind of time was driving my sample to the UPS store!

After the lab processes the sample you can view the results on a secure website where you can then take that information to your health care provider to discuss your next steps.

I am eager to see what my results show and beginning this deep dive into my health.
