I am so sick and not sleeping, evidently due to this hyperthyroidism whose cause hasn't been established. I'm intelligent, but I sound like I'm not when I lack sleep.

I was diagnosed with psoriasis, Hepatitis C, psoriatic arthritis, Type 2 Diabetes, Cirrhosis (from the Hep C) and my doctor has told me my thyroid is overactive, but he's given no real diagnosis on that yet. I'm tired of feeling crappy. ]]> Deb5887 http://www.healthboards.com/boards/blogs/deb5887/2866-i-am-so-sick-not-sleeping.html http://www.healthboards.com/boards/blogs/deb5887/2863-im-new-here-insomniac-confused.html Fri, 30 Mar 2012 06:52:26 GMT Not knowing where to start, I'm going to list the diseases and disorders I have to contend with:

Psoriasis
Psoriatic Arthritis
Hepatitis C
Cirrhosis
Glaucoma
Hyperthyrodism (Uptake tests tomorrow 3/30)
Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT)

The hyperthyroidism is in the process of being diagnosed. I took my radioiodine pill today and tomorrow I go for a number of tests. They call it an uptake test, but maybe there are more than that. I don't know what they'll fiind and I'm concerned.

I feel so stressed, hyper, irritable, insomniac (right now) and I'm loosing weight quickly. The one thing about hyperthyroidism is that I love some of the side effects. My skin is very soft, my reflexes are amazing and the weight loss.

However, the extreme fatigue that can't be relieved is really hard. Sometimes I worry that I don't make sense when I post.

I appreciate finding this site. Thanks! :wave: ]]> Deb5887 http://www.healthboards.com/boards/blogs/deb5887/2863-im-new-here-insomniac-confused.html
