My visit to the thyroid Doctor
My visit to my thyroid doctor went better than I anticipated. I lost 10 pounds of the 14.5 pounds I gained. It made me happy to know that the medication was working and yet sad that I medically needed it. It is so funny that I gained the weight with hypothyroidism and I gained weight with a hyperthyroidism. My doctor said to stay on the medication and we will see where we are at when the numbers from the blood work comes in. I still think it might be in remission but on the low side of the normal range. I still feel symptomatic of hypothyroidism. It is that or I really am mellowing as I am aging. It is funny. I told my doctor that since Hurricane Sandy, my t3 was going lower than usual.With my daughter it was the final notch that took my numbers out of the normal range. I also asked my doctor if I would be on thyroid medication for the rest of my life. His answer surprised me. He said he hoped not. For now I am staying on medication and I am sure I will hear from him early next week. Stay safe my fans and Bon Appetit.
