Anne's post brings up something that's been tangentially touched on by several, namely the thyroid. You will want to educate yourself about this. One of the problems is that doctors try to keep you in the statistically normal tsh range. However everyone has their own normal, and the right tsh for the average population is perhaps not quite right for you.
I request copies of all my lab work and keep track of them all, which most doctors are happy to accomodate.

Davita, I know. *blush*
Nice to be here again. This issue has been exploding lately. It comes down to alot of friction between my mother and I with my hubby in the middle. I am going on a trip back to my home country at the end of this month and I have alot of family I have never met. Alot of the pressure coming from my mom now is this anxiety she has that everyone meet a perfect daughter. I think it's what driving me up the wall more than usual, that pressure right before a big trip.
Anne, I appreciate your post. I do need to see an endocrinologist. And I do need to just keep trying with eating well and going to the gym more days of the week. I have been very stressed overall lately and I need to recognize the impact it has on me.
Absaroka, that is exactly what I should start doing!
Thank you so much girls! I just needed to write it out and be reminded.

Yes definitly see and endocrinologist. I thought you already had.
Let your mother know, in a very kind way, that you are not looking for anyone to know that you had a perfect mother, which is really what having a perfect daughter is about.
Good luck with the trip, I hope it's fun.

I have not seen one, only my primary doctor. I should, because I have a few overlapping conditions and everything is just tangled up. But, it's not priority to see the doc when I'm not working. UGH!
I think getting ready for the trip is gonna be very annoying, since she wants to micromanage it and I don't even live with her. But once I am on the plane and heading there- it ends and I will focus on enjoying it and reconnecting with a part of me that's been lacking for a while. It's nice to go back home after a lifetime.
It will be fun.
Once again, I feel better already. it helps to write it out and just know it's not as big of an issue as one feels it to be in the moment. Thank you so much girls! I appreciate it.
