Firing the Endo! PCP came thru for me!!!

DLA
My PCP had said that he would take over my thyroid meds and take care of my diabetes if I had it, which I do.  Type 2 diabetes.  Wednesday I went in and had fasting blood work done at my PCP's and he just called me with the results.  On SATURDAY!  Called me HIMSELF!  He usually does, and it's usually about 8pm or on a Saturday or Sunday.

Anyway, I talked to him about my TSH being too high for me, 1.32, and how I had all the hypo symtoms and he increased my levo!!  YEAH!!  He's increasing me from 125mg to 137mg.  Am hoping this will make all the difference in the world how I feel.  Really think it will.

He's also taking care of my diabetes for me.  Been on low carb for almost 5 weeks now and my A1C came back at 6.8 which he considers border line.  But it's that low b/c I've kept it down the last month so he knows I am for sure diabetic.  Never doubted it after fasting bloos sugar of 204.

Praise the Lord I can lay off the endo and tell her mean nurse good riddance!

And the good news it that with the meds for my diabetes and getting the numbers under control I have lost 9 1/2 lbs. in 4 1/2 weeks!!!!!!   Yeah for me.  ;-D  Now I get on my new level of levo and hopefully I'll feel good enough to quit being a slug and it will really come off.

Can't get my new levo yet, cause I don't have a driver's license any more.  Got any idea what it takes in Oklahoma to get a new license when you let the old one expire?  A LOT!  And all just to prove you really are an American citizen.  Sheesh.
