Judt got back from Endo!

[MKlacza]

I just got back... and boy did I let him have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was hysterical. I couldnt even calm myself even if I tried. So, of course the computer was down due to our stormy weather, so he tried to get on his computer several times and it was getting no connection..but he does remember that my TSH was 13! He said that wasnt good. I said up until this morning... I was feeling pretty good. He said that some feel good at a 13,  rare,but it happens, but he also said that if we left it at that, I was in store for cardio, cholestrol and bone density probs in the long run... So he upped the meds and said that if I feel symptomatic to call.. He said he truly feels that going by the symptoms are the way too go!!! DUH!! DUMB A$$!!! He also said that my vertigo experience can be related to the hypo state. So, I am trying to calm myself... Lit some candle not giving up and starting the new dose tomorrow. I am goingmback to the Holistic Dr Wed and will probably be seeing her on a regular basis. Just feel better about mydecision. Not letting my current Dr go, but gonna give the holistic Dr a try. I like my Dr and he does listen, but I knew I needed an up in the meds and here I am proving myself right again!!

Hello.... honey --------------- calm down............. LOL   LOL    LOL

LOL  - your spunk is why we get along so well..  :)

I know we have been hashing this whole increase thing over PM's  - Here's is the deal -

First what did they raise you to? From what to what?

Do not start more that 1/4 grain. (15mg) do that for a week - maybe two. Then raise another 1/4 grain. Each intervals

My moto - SLOW BUT STEADY -- WINS THE RACE !!

If you raise to fast - adrenals will act up - give the whole system a small increase to adjust.

At least finally you got the increase we talked about - that is the good news right?

FYI  - increases may bring on those headaches again - but smaller increases will keep them at bay.  Stay on those supplements too.

I bet you got the P.I.A status on your report with this visit.

I am going to start calling you "Muhammad Ali "---   LOL

Good for you! Stupid doctor. Some people feel good at 13???  Who????  I felt great at 13. WHEN I WAS COMING DOWN FROM 250!!!  Geez, what can you do?  You just have to be your own advocate because you are the only one who knows your body.  I kept feeling badly and finally demanded some vitamin tests and turns out I was majorly deficient in Vitamin D.  Several weeks on a megadose and I feel much better. Would he have ever checked if I hadn't asked? Probably not. I think it's great that you have the holistic doctor.  I think it's a great decision. And I'm glad you finally got some answers. Go light your candle and have a margarita girl, you need it!
