Yo all you fellow GD troopers! I read Trish’s and Kathleen’s messages about feeling vastly different from one day to the next. I remember when I went super-hypo right after RAI…My neighbor would tell me I looked like roadkill one day and then the next day, “Ariel, you have color in your face today!! You look great.” Since I was also friends with this neighbor, I didn’t mind her candid comments. She was right though–literally from one day to the next I would go from a puffy, bloated, pale blob to a perky, sparkly-eyed version of myself with rosy cheeks. Now that I’m no longer hypo I’ve stabilized to a large degree, but I still have the attacks of water retention and pale-as-a-corpse spells occasionally—and not necessarily around my period time. Anyone else have this, or know if it’s a thyroid thing?
