I knew something was up when the hair started falling out...again. I had been to the doctor about 10 weeks ago and they changed my medicine since I had lost so much weight and I was running fairly high. I had been taking the lower dosage for about 10 weeks but I knew something wasn't so right. The doctor called this past week and said I was correct -- my T3 should have been over 200 and it was at a 2. My TSH should be between .4 and 1 and was at a 2. No wonder. Now I'm trying to figure out if the nausea I've had for the last week is also part of this whole drama....because if not, well, we have another problem we need to deal with!!
And then it was like a freight train hit me this past weekend. I can honestly say I haven't felt like this since I was like 11 and had mono. I have been so tired I just almost can't function. I had honestly thought I was so tired because of work, but now I know that is not the case. On Saturday, for example, I went to the gym, the grocery store and came home took a shower and a 2 hour nap. I woke up, make a pie (for Thanksgiving in May!!) and took a 50 minute nap while it baked. And repeated that for 2 more times....I swear I took a 5 hour nap. And at thanksgiving, I ended up having to take a little cat nap on the couch while everyone else cleaned up. yes, that is how bad it was. Sunday was the same thing.
It is just about miserable....and let's not even start down the emotional rollercoaster I am on. Its like I am back to the bad days when someone could say you are pretty and I would start crying. Its awful. I told my boss today that I am nervous about going to LA because just talking about my thyroid makes me want to cry and in tense meetings, well, who knows. She told me 4 times today "you better not cry!!!" Fantastic.
So, we have increased my meds and I am hoping that it kicks in soon....for my sake and for everyone else's sake around me!!!
