Small Slice

I need to be better about recording how I'm feeling, and what my symptoms are. It's been about 6 weeks now since I began taking Synthroid, and my hair is still falling out, and my body is still fatigued - but my mood is much lighter.

Chalk that up to getting the kids back to school and our last minute summer accomplishments. I'm pretty sure that's what made the difference there. Also, I'm sleeping better lately, if you consider better to be crazy dreams featuring the cast of True Blood and shopping at Trader Joes.

I started to attempt an elimination diet, eliminating eggs, dairy and gluten for a week. I made it a whole week, and then we had our back to school dinner, and the whole thing fell apart and I went back to eating and drinking everything. (About 1,500 calories of everything.)

I was using unsweetened, unflavored almond milk to replace the milk in my decaf coffee, and snacking on nuts daily, and I think that maybe I have a nut sensitivity, because the weird poop issues escalated. I'm clearly not allergic, because I'm not having any major symptoms, but now that I have switched to unsweetened rice milk, I'm doing much better on that front. I'm going to start up again tomorrow, this time without the nuts, and see what gives.
