I went to the doctor on Tuesday and had a little bloodwork done. I have been on shots for my bloodthinners till I can get regulated - and it appears that the dosage I took before is not the dosage that will work now. I used to take 2 pills a day and I had some thin blood - now I am taking 2 pills a day and am too low. Go figure. So I am still shooting up with Lovenox and have increased my dosage for the blood thinner. I have some UGLY bruises right now and am REALLY ready to go off of the shots.
In other news, I am feeling okay and the thyroid is actually pretty normal. My TSH right now is at 1.3 - which is in the normal range. I did have a little discussion with the doctor about why I am EXHAUSTED every morning around 9:30 and at 2 pm I can barely keep my eyes open. He said that is one of the side effects of lovenox and also my heart meds. He also said that since my thyroid is normal, I don't have to take the heart meds and I can wean off of those. VERY EXCITING.
So, all in all, doing well. just wanted to let you guys know!
