~* How are you doing this week? - 1 Bad --> 10 Great ~*
I'm a 7 this week.
Tibial Tendonitis not so great with the sharp, cold weather change & no more phys. therapy .. insurance cut me off .. see Ortho next week for followup appt.
TSH is leveled off at 1.7 on 88mcgs of Synthroid and feel very good at this level. Took 10 mos to finalize the Synthroid dosing since my partial thyroidectomy Jan. 07 and Endo is pleased with keeping me @ this dosing long-term.

hi all:)
i'd say i'm at a 4. still not feeling better (only been on meds for 2weeks now) and wishing i had more energy to keep up with my kids. glad everyone is feeling well, though :)

For everything but thyroid, I say 8. LIfe is good. Hubby got a new job, our house is for sale and we'll be moving to So. Cal to be closer to family. It's bittersweet and a little scary, but I know longterm it will be good for our family.
I say 6 for thyroid. I've never felt bad from my thryoid. Just have that hairloss thing going on since starting meds. My latest labs were good: TSH .34 (.4-5.5), T4 1.1 (.8-1.8) FT3=304 (230-420) and T3 = 98 (60-181) and my hairloss seems to be slowing down again. It slowed down once before though so I'm not ready to rate Thyroid above a 6 for now! :)

I think I'm about a 5. Could be better...could be worse. I still have insomnia...going on about 6 months now. Thank God for Lunesta. It helps most nights. Because of my wacked out sleep pattern, I have no energy to do much. I haven't worked out at the gym for about 2 months. When I do anything big, like go to a craft fair and walk around for 5 hours, I do nothing but sleep the next day.
I'm really worried about my sister's TT next Friday. The surgeon gave her a 20% chance of having cancer. She read me the pathology report for her FNA over the phone. I swear she said the word "follicular" at least twenty times. I asked her to email it to me so I could read it and ask you guys to help interpret it. I'm glad she's getting the whole thing yanked out. I wish she had my surgeon, he was awesome (and VERY easy on the eyes!). I think it's harder on family members than the patient. Especially since I have a pretty good idea on what she has to look forward to for the rest of her life.
On a positive note, the two guys at work who were harassing me, were put on probation and told that if they continued harrassing me, they would be shown the door. One of the guys was throwing away my soda that was in the break room fridge. The other was trying to get me fired by getting me in trouble. It didn't work. Karma is such a wonderful thing!

I'm about a five. Kids have been sick, spent 4 hours with the oldest in the er on sunday, and I have strep. Also finally back to work full time and then some so pretty tired from that. But at least I know WHY I'm tired. Increased Synthroid to 88mcgs for tissue suppression even though tsh was okay so looking forward to some more energy soon! Things are kind of crazy lately but I'm so glad that it's a different kind of craziness than this summer!
Glad to hear everyone is doing so good! That may change my number to a 6 or 7.

I'm doing really well.....I'd say an 8, since there is always room for improvement, right? I'm starting my exercise class again tonight, and it's nice to finally have the energy to even WANT to do it!
