    I used to be like that, hypothyroidism is a removed.

    Since being on the meds I now have the energy to do two separate things in a single day.

        I don’t know why the word was removed, wasn’t that bad 😆

        I was just constantly tired and stressed, eventually the stress was causing heart palpitations so went to the doctor and they did a blood test.

        Before the meds it was like being an old phone with a dying battery. Only ever charged up to 60% no matter how much sleep, and ran out of power in a few hours.

          Are you me? Because that sounds just like me. I can’t make it through the day without an afternoon nap and have heart palpitations at night. All this started after a bout of covid in early 2021 right before vaccines were available.

            Hmm, I’d say it got worse after I caught Covid, but I wouldn’t say that was the cause.

            I’ve never had good energy levels, but it felt like it had been specifically downhill over 5 or so years, and then completely fell off the cliff for a year.

          lemmy.ml has a pretty strict filter on any word that could be considered a slur regardless of context.

          What did the blood test check for? I wonder if a general blood test would catch that.

            I think it was a general blood test, they weren’t looking for hypothyroidism specifically.

        Yeah I remember having to tell my doctor that too initially lol. Turns out only getting 5-6 hours of sleep at actual night means you want more sleep in the afternoon.

        Get your solid 7-10 depending on what you need from genetics and that afternoon nap is much less needed. It’s good right now since the gf can sleep with the kids when they’re down for their naps too. But she’s perpetually surprised that only going to bed between 12-1am doesn’t exactly leave you feeling refreshed when kids get up between 6:30 and 7 lol.
