SOOO Exhausted

For the past 2 weeks I have been soooo exhausted. It's been to the extremee of not being able to do much but lie on the couch barely taking care of my children's basic needs. I feel like I did when I first found out I was pregnant with the twins which oddly enough was exactly a year ago. No, I am not pregnant...I know that's what you were thinking. It also is similar to when I was treated for dehydration...but not quite. Besides the extreme fatigue my body just aches like I have the flu. Something just wasn't right so I (more like Jake) decided I needed to visit the doctor. I saw the PA...and I really like her...she's nice..she listened...BUT...I got what pretty much everyone has been telling me..."you have twin babies and a 2 year old." I know this. But to ME there is a change. The boys are sleeping through the night. They were sleeping from about 9 to 4or 5. Now it's til about 7 or so. Also work has had less patients so we have been canceling nurses so I have actually had a couple days off. In any event something just isn't right. Soooo...we got some labs to rule out some things including anemia and hypothyroidism (my top suspicions), lupus, and rhematoid arthritis for all the achiness. Well, I have been waiting and waiting (ok, so it's been aa week but that's a long time when you think something has to be despirately wrong) and she finally called me today. Everything came back normal. What? Seriously. then she said, well, your calcium is high so I am going to order a test to check your parathyroid, but yeah, nothing else. It's probably some mild post partum depression and fatigue from the twins. OK. Really. I KNOW depression manifests in many ways...but I had it last time and this is NOTHING like that. So I was WAY disapointed. I know, I know, who WANTS something to be wrong with them? ME! She said I wasn't young anymore and just tired. Well...now I decided to look up hyperparathyroidism...I SOOOO have it! It's kind of rare but hypercalcemia is pretty much aa deciding factor that you have it. AND it causes a lot of the symptoms...headaches, extreme fatigue, bone soreness...that I have been complaining of. Now I can't wait to get the test to find out...despite the fact that the "cure" is surgery. I just want to feel normal again...and not be told I am old :)
