Cholesterol, thyroid stuff, and meds

Well, where do I start today. I went to my Endo last week. He is okay but, he is not my wonderful doctor that I talk about. The best doctor I have ever had for treating PCOS is my Ob/Gyn. But anyway, I went to the endo to have all my bloodwork done for the first time in a couple years. Things have definitely gotten worse for me lately!!! My cholesterol has SKY rocketed. I know it's totally my fault for failing miserably at my eating plan.... but, that's water under the bridge now. Also my thyroid has nodules on it and is borderline hypo. Hashimotos is pretty common for women with PCOS. One more thing we are at risk for! That's in addition to heart disease and diabetes! Oh Joy. Anyway, I have felt like dog poop for several months now and I am certain it's from the thyroid. They can't biopsy it because the nodules are small yet, but when I go back in 3 mos if they are bigger then I get to have a biopsy. Needle in the neck. Doesn't that sound like fun? They have to rule out the C word (cancer) and proceed with treatment for Hashimotos if that ends up being the case. So, that is in a few months from now. Back to my cholesterol. They gave me Tricor. I took my first one yesterday and honest to God I did not sleep a wink last night. Not a wink! I am so freaking exhausted today. I couldn't figure out what the problem was till I got up and read more about Tricor, only to find out that it apparently causes insomnia in some patients. NO THANKS. I honestly think I will die alot sooner from lack of sleep than I will from high cholesterol. Well, either die or kill someone that is. I am not a happy camper when I am tired. I am one of those people who really needs my sleep. So, I did not take the tricor today and I am trying to figure out what I should do about it. Try again, call and try a different med, or just get back on my IAAP plan and not take drugs for cholesterol. What to do what to do....
