I have checked with my doctor already and I stay pretty hydrated. They are checking my thyroid too. They were here today to do my labs. I appreciate your input! Thank you!

Just throwing the obvious safety stuff out there, I dont’t want you to have a bad reaction! I am really glad they are checking your thyroid. Mine is low functioning and I feel like the walking dead sometimes, I absolutely get it. Hence- the abundance of caffeine most days 
Good luck!!!

I’m glad that blood tests are becoming more common before medication is prescribed. Back around 2011, I had anaemia but the doctor didn’t do a blood test before prescribing antidepressants. It resulted in a really rough few weeks, between how the medication made me feel and almost getting me fired because it diluted my pupils and my boss at work thought it was taking something illegal. I ended up quitting not long after, but still… Not an experience I would wish on anyone.

That’s awful 
So far my labs have come back normal, which is good. I’m sure we can find some alternatives to medications. I’m very fortunate that I have a great neurologist and a whole medical team that supports me and works with me and not just say “this is what you need to do”
