After reading this reply and have to agree whole heartedly. Especially if you feel off or not yourself but not sure why.

About 5 years ago, I thought I was literally going crazy. My family even though I was Bi-polar. Well, it turned out I had Graves Diease. This is where your thyroid gland over produces thyroid hormones and let me tell you it is not a pretty picture. One of the main things I noticed was not being able to concentrate or focus on things. My poor sewing room sat for a couple of years. Just didn't have the desire to do nothing. After proper diagnoses and surgical treatment, I am finally feeling like my old self.

So yes, this could be just a "Phase". I would highly recommend that you first start out with a clean bill of health. Then go from there. I encourage everyone to listen to your body. If you don't think something isn't right, have it checked out. No one knows us better than ourselves :)
