Levothy-justkillmenow

After my mid-day blowup at the registration desk demon and a couple days of waiting for test results my endocrinologist decided that it was best that I be put on thyroid medication----not because my thyroid is all THAT messed up but because I'm symptomatic enough that we might as well just take care of it now. She prescribed me 50MCG of Levothyroxine which not only sounds terrifying but pretty much is considering that one of the side effects is hair loss "for the first few months"?? Hair loss, hair thinning, whatever....I already lost my hair once and I just got it back so I'm really not up for dealing with thinning hair on top of major fatigue and weight gain.
                          
Aside from that you have to take these pills in the morning 30 minutes before you eat anything....which is about to suck because we all know that when you're told you can't do something you extra feel the need to do it. So...sweet....30 minutes of me being really angry that I can't eat. Cool.

Fortunately, this should also help boost my metabolism eventually and make me waaaay less tired all the time. I had to take an Ativan yesterday just to get a solid seven hours of sleep (and from 10am-5pm, perfect snooze time, right?)
---but can you blame me? Living next to a half preschool daycare whatever/half Baptist Church thing = screaming children 8am-? Monday-whenever and some extra loud worship on Sundays. But hey...I learned their song about the days of the week by heart.

I digress...

I will be starting the thyroid medication (technically) this morning (5/17/16) and will hopefully feel some sort of POSITIVE change within the next six weeks. Wish me luck!
