Apparently hypothyroidism can accompany kidney failure. Good lord. I forsee more blood tests in my future.

At least I understand the numerous symptoms I've had for the past 8 years. Funny that a doctor didn't dot together the connections. Damn doctors.

Update:
My hair, which has been falling out at an increasing rate, has now surpassed the 'small amount' I'd anticipated. I am losing my hair. My doctors better do something, and fast. This is not acceptable. Free health care, or free health (minus the care)...
