...wow, this thread really went off on another rail. Thaaat...actually really annoys me...Thanks timarie for creating a thread so this program page can get back on track!
Thank you! I've actually gotten great back progress so far, although not much size difference yet. ^^;
Before corsetting, I was at the lower end of 27" (because of bloating). The corset has helped control my bloating so I can stay around 26". But because of my ribs, the next few inches will take a few years. It's completely worth it, though! I usually don't even wear it all day because of work.

I really can't believe I missed my hypothyroidism symptoms before. I guess I was researching it with my friend's symptoms in mind, not even thinking about how it might go to explain my problems. Even my dry elbows and kneecaps, dry hair and jaundiced skin explain it, as well as my fluctuating water weight (I lose and gain between 5-10lbs every few days, it used to be as much as 20lbs when I was in high school). My body pains have come back, and they're a symptom, too. The only symptoms I don't have are hair loss and weight gain (although I did lose a LOT of hair for like a week straight last month). Apparently those are symptoms that sometimes don't occur, and when they aren't there, it makes it very hard for a doctor to make a diagnosis.
I need to figure out where to get an online saliva test for it, and I need to re-apply for my insurance from the state so I can get to a doctor. If a little synthyroid can give me energy to finally be able to get up in the morning, I think it's worth it (my low energy levels are preventing me from really working and from taking classes). Maybe I'll regain the cognitive function I've lost over the past few years (sorry for all my jumbled posts in my time here). I'll be able to live my life again.
I've said my whole life that I feel like I'm an 80-year-old man, and no one's taken me seriously. I feel like I haven't slept in fifteen years. I get pains in my joints that prevent me from being able to hold things sometimes. I can't gain weight, even when I force myself to eat. I also can't lose weight, no matter how much I diet and exercise (anyone else would have lost fifteen-twenty pounds). I can't remember things immediately after they're said to me. And my libido hasn't recovered properly from my bad experience with birth control. I'm 22 years old. And I've never had the energy of an 18-year-old.
I wonder if getting on thyroid medication would help with my breast growth. :3
...which has been slow lately.
Although the PM is definitely doing a great job. My breasts are tingly now! I wish all my skin tingled like before. Also, MSM finally has my hair growing at the rate it used to. So, that should help as well.
Do I need to see an endocrinologist in order to get thyroid meds, or will a regular doctor be able to do it if my levels are high/low enough?
