The Thyroid Medication Roller Coaster
I spoke to my endocrinologist yesterday and we spoke about my thyroid medication. We increased the medication for the t3 back to 10mg a day. The 5mg per day was horrible. The medication for the t4 is not changing. At least for now. When my doctor told me that my t4 was under I almost fainted. When I was hyperthyroid, it was my t4 that was off the chart. I was never low especially on my t4 level.I am still very calm and fatigued. I also went from going to my doctor from 4 months to six weeks. I think he is concerned about my thyroid levels. Dealing with thyroid is like a waiting game. Adjusting medications to find the right levels is a like rolling the dice. You never know how the levels will fall. But as I thought, I will probably be on thyroid medication for the rest of my life. There are worse things I suppose, and since I am hypothyroid, I have accepted the fate of my thyroid condition. It is weird being hypothyroid, when since I was diagnosed with thyroid in 1997, my thyroid was always overactive. It is very weird being under active. I am too calm. Maybe that is a good thing. I am not to sure about that. I feel like I am in slow motion. It has just been a very crazy time. I just feel very overwhelmed between my house, my daughter and financial decisions. I think that is how my thyroid went out of remission to begin with. In six weeks we will find out how I am adjusting to the medication. Stay safe my fans and Bon Appetit.
