Thanks, meds are amazing, amazing effect on work, home, personal life already. It’s such a great feeling to start an activity with confidence that I can stay on it to completion. Still – just so confused about all the strange ways I was interpreting my problems over the years. I stopped my thyroid meds cold turkey when I ran out of refills and made myself sick. I’m still not sure if I ever needed them, but I’m back on them and will try to go off more slowly. Hopefully just a minor setback. My marriage is hanging by a thread, and I’m so sensitive about any criticism, and being told I’m playing the “ADD card.” There are some things I need to work on that will take time,and I’m impatient and past resentments get in the way of progress. Getting the diagnosis was so important though, and I have no regrets. I needed to know, and if I can just keep my emotions in check, I can make real progress – I’ve felt so stuck for so long. I’m so thankful to this site and community. It’s life changing. I hope lots more people who need it will find this 
I wonder on average how many doc’s people had to go to in order to get from start to finish in getting a diagnosis? I was expressing these issues to at least 7 docs before finding the right doc – #8 (referred by doc #7). It wasn’t until this site and knowing the right questions to ask that I finally started getting somewhere. Yay!
