So I have managed to gain +/- 10 lbs since Friday.
WTH?
I have been experiencing edema in my shins and ankles for about a month, as well. As in pitting edema. I was talking to my dad and he thought I should have my thyroid rechecked. I know that I have had it checked in the past, but it just seems odd that I gained so much weight so quickly. Plus, my mom, her mom, and my great aunt all experienced thyroid problems.
I am going to re-weigh myself when I get home, and hopefully things will be different. However, low thyroid levels (Hypothyroidism) is know to cause complications in pregnancy and fetal brain development, so for peace of mind, I would rather just know that everything is fine. :o)
