Health Down-dates

Well...


I guess I figured I'd be on the up and up with these new thyroid meds---of course whenever something decent starts to happen my body's immediate reaction is basically a slap to the face.


Unfortunately, my most recent stab to the arm left me with disappointing results. My TSH levels are high which pretty much mean that I need an even higher dose of Levothyroxine--75MCG instead of 50--which isn't all that much but...you know...taking meds is never any fun. Similarly, my cortisol levels are a little high too...which could potentially be a symptom of some rare form of God knows what syndrome or disease or something.


No. This doesn't mean I'm contagious. Don't be silly.



This really only means that I've had a decent reason behind being so fat and lazy beside being "out for the summer."


So we'll see how this dosage works out for me and my TSH levels in about six weeks---
In the meantime, I'll be visiting my oncologist and my health center within the next 3-10 days for more checkups and what not and dealing with whatever summer sniffles I've been dealing with. Allergies? Cold? I can't ever really tell?
