Ergh. Um. Well my TSH numbers were a shocker. For both me and the doctor----
.07

Very off the "norm". And I asked her about all my symptoms and she said that because my numbers have swung to the other extreme of normal that I will have the increased appetite, etc. and feel miserable. So she moved my Synthroid down from .125mcg to .112mcg. She said she didn't want to move it any lower because it might be too little amount of hormone.

On a good note, my calcium levels are back up to a normal 9.1! I'm still taking the OTC calcium with vit.D but not the Calcitrol anymore. Good to see that my parathyroid glands are finally working again!

My weight is up even higher. She told me not to worry about it...easier said than done! It's not like I'm a size 4 and can just forget that my jeans are tight and golly, have to go up a size. When you are bigger to begin with, those extra few pounds really count! It's frustrating. She said to try and get some exercise in. Yeah, and how can I do that with a back injury that prevents me from even walking to the mailbox without pain?? I have an elliptical so we'll see if I can slowly get on that thing.

My scar is very red the last few days. I am not sure what that means but the doctor even poked at it and seemed a little curious as to why it is still so tender. Hope it's not infected. That is just one more damn thing I don't need.

I'm really getting into the "retro-housewife" that I started working on a couple of months ago. I'm saving a ton of money in coupons, cooking constantly, baking my own bread & still managing to clean and homeschool. Whew. All with no thyroid and messed up hormones! I feel the urge to brag a little bit ;o)
