I just wanted to post some good news for a change. My life’s been an
emotional roller coaster since right after Thanksgiving. I’ve been
frustrated with my doctor and with most significant personal relationships.
I had a meeting with my doctor on Wednesday. She was very patient, spent
probably more than a half hour talking with me. I’m now taking only
2.5 mg. of Tapazole as a test. I’ve been having “undocumented” side effects
from the medicine. I only have these side effects when all my levels
are normal, except TSH. I’m going in for bloodwork in 3 weeks, earlier
if I reach a point where I feel totally out of control [some might say
insane] or it becomes dangerous to operate my car. I also asked her
why my T3 did not rise before T4. After some explanations of the various
tests, she finally admitted that there may not be an answer. Her openess
and honesty, as well as the fact that she seems to believe me about
the side effects, and is willing to work with me, is good news to me.
Physically, I’m doing pretty good. I have enough energy, but not too
much. I’ve been in bed before midnight all week. Tonights Friday, so
I’ll probably be up late.
Have a Great Weekend,
Linda
