Making Up Sicknesses

So I have an appointment tomorrow to figure out if I have a thyroid disorder or if it's merely hypochondria. Bless it. I'm sure I'm fine. I always try to convince myself there's something wrong with me- "I think I'm anemic!," "I have heart palpitations," "I'm diabetic," etc.... I've always been just fine, other than low blood pressure and CONSTANT DEHYDRATION, cuz I'm addicted to Diet Coke and coffee. Luckily, I hate going to the doctor, so I usually disregard my diagnosis of the minute before I invest money in it (which is probably a good idea, since it's utter bull shniz, for the most part). I really just like to pretend like I know more than I do about the human body. But I got scared this week. Legitimately, I think? I realized that
(a) I lost 12 pounds in a month or so without trying
(2) My hair is half the thickness it used to be (thanks to the multiple wads of hair I've been pulling out of my head in the shower)
(d) It's probably not normal to take up to four naps in a single day
(8) It's not normal to still have bruises from mid-July that haven't healed.

It's probably just I need to eat better or drink more water. But I just want to hear ze doc say that. My sister had all the same symptoms and she has hypothyroidism, as does my grandmother, so I'll go give some blood again. :/ Bluh.

Link - Don't read too much into it. I don't play by these rules necessarily. I just feel bad for you losing so much. ;)
