I've forgotten who it was who had a spouse with thyroid issues.
Lil, that would be BB.

She was always tired in elementary school, went to see a shrink for a long time, then someone diagnosed her low thyroid function maybe around 3rd. grade. She has been on thyroid meds ever since.

BB was always ready for bed before anyone else I ever knew. Maybe 9:30 PM and certainly by 10:30 PM were her end of the day times. I can stay up till 2:00AM to 3:00AM most days if I get in some shut-eye during the 7:00PM news.

BB went on AD meds for 3 years when her dog died. No meds when her mother and uncle died. BB had several dosage adjustment problems in the last 15 years. Some of those dosage problems were due to her taking St. John's Wort.

So, my thoughts are, is BB depressed or is she wanting more things, feels entitled to a better life, more pets, newer things, etc, or am I happy with much less, just average things in life.

I know her shopping addiction was connected to her trying to feel better about herself and life in general.

Thanks for the article.

How is your bf taking his mother's cancer diagnosis and treatment? Is it (bf or his mother sit) affecting you adversely?
