frustration...

I know now why I hate to take vacation....because the day you get back sucks.  Really bad.
*sigh*

and in addition to that, I am just severly frustrated with my thyroid. or maybe its the lack thereof and trying to regulate, but I am seriously frustrated. I have been on the same dosage since I was diagnosed, and as I have said before, you are supposed to see about adjusting DOWNWARD for every 10 lbs you lose. Well, it would seem that my body just doesn't want to cooperate and now my levels are low and they wanted to increase my dosage by 25 mg.

What. Is. That.

That is what I want to know -- why is my body doing the exact opposite of what it is supposed to do? Seriously. So we spoke and I was given 2 options - 1) to increase my synthroid, which would jack with all of my levels for my thyroid - T3, T4 and TSH (when really the T3 is the only one that is really out of whack -- the others are "okay" but I'd like them to be a bit more on the high side...but they are within range right now)  and 2) take another drug that will work on just the T3. I love it when the doctor gives me the choice - like I really know!

I opted for the other drug just to see what it would do....maybe if we get that in check maybe it will make everything else work out too. But now I have three pills to take every day....because did I mention I had to start taking another drug -- you'll love this one -- to decrease the testerone my body was producing. Yeah, apparently that was why I was growing facial hair (that was NOT soft and fuzzy) and my face was breaking out (no, it wasn't due to working out)....awesome. Maybe that is why too I have developed some serious muscles in my arms and legs - wait, maybe I don't want to  take this pill! ha!

And don't think that I can take that pill when I take the other pill because it will cause it to not work properly. Well, we don't want that to happen since my body can't seem to do what is right anyway.

*sigh* *again*

so, we'll just continue on this roller coaster ride and see what happens. and remember to thank my parents for some awesome hereditary!! (only slightly kidding.....I mean, thyroid issues are ALL over the family...but I guess I have other things I can say thank you for - like my great blonde hair and green eyes....and my absolutely fantastic personality. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA)
