I really hate for you to be worried , but at the same time I feel thankful that someone is . They were not able to run any tests , as I do not have insurance . So unfortunately , I was able to receive any further information . I apologize for the delay in response . It has been a hectic last couple of days . I have become so drained and hardly able to function it feels like . Hopefully with help from the medication and hopefully getting some more rest this weekend , I will get back to usual . Usual for me feels like maybe 40-60% . Lately , u have been feeling maybe 10-20% . I have no idea why . But Monday I was wiped . I had to muster up the motivation to make a reply . As I am doing at this moment . I appreciate the kindness of y'all checking in on me . So I wanted to make a post before I went to bed . I am exhausted . Also , if anyone had any idea as to why I am feeling worse (since Monday) , I would appreciate any input or any advise . Also , I would like to state , If all goes well next week and I can get the time or energy I will go apply for Medicaid . Feel free to remind me . I have been all the more forgetful also . Bad enough for dad to mention something about it . Thank you once again . I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !!!
We're glad we were able to help you. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have about your condition, medication, labs, etc and we'll be glad to answer them.
Oh thank you for letting me know...I've been so worried about you. I'm so glad you finally went to the doctor...it will take at least 4-6 weeks for the levo to reach full potential in your blood, so you won't feel good right away, but it will get better.
I'm sure the doctor is right that your thyroid isn't working at all...
Did they do anymore tests? If so, which ones? Did you get a copy of the results? If so, if you'll post them, with the reference ranges, we can help guide you along the process.
Whatever you do, please don't stop taking the levo and please don't stop seeing the doctor on a regular basis...
Thanks Barb , I appreciate that . I saw the doctor today as I said I would . He started me on levothyroxine 125 mcg . So hopefully , that will do a lot of help . Today is my first day taking it . Looking forward to things possibly getting better . All he said was that my thyroid gland basically isn't working at all .
Ah, thank goodness, my previous post appeared...
Well, I posted a comment and it didn't show up, so am hoping it will, when I post this one
