Normal isn’t normal for everyone

October 10, 2008

Well since I didn’t hear back from my thyroid specialist in person, I called into the message system they have for patience to get results to see if they left a message for me. Sure enough they did. Not keep in mind that I was honest with my doctor in I tend to forget “a lot” to take my meds. Sometimes I didn’t have them and would have to go a week or two until I could get them. I was honest and upfront. He thought that I would have to return that my blood results would show its lower and for me to take the meds a full six weeks and we check then for a more accurate count. He gave me samples to get me through that time frame. Well the results show “normal” even without redoing my blood work. Now that is with me taking them and forgetting a day or two here or there. I take my thyroid medication before I go to bed because I can’t take with a vitamin, the vitamin prevents the medication from absorbing into the blood. Now when I have had killer migraines I don’t take it, honestly who thinks about that one little pill when the hammers are hitting your head.

Ironically how can it be normal? I still am very very fatigued, still have a good amount of hair coming out when I wash it, and extremely sensative to cold, even with the A/C on in the summer time, memory issues here or there, unable to lose weight, and other issues that are more “personal” that are symptoms to this. Mornings are very hard for me I have to keep moving, if I was to just get up and lay on the cough, I am screwed for the day. The depression I deal with my specialist says is also a part of this condition.

He told me to double up when I forget, or if i wanted he as a patient who takes all 7 at one time, which he didn’t really recommend, but I could take every two or three days, just take two or three based on either the two days or three, that way if I have a good day with no migraines I am get it into my system and it will carry me till the next time if there is a migraine in between.

So I dunno, honestly I feel the same taking it and when I forget to take it or didn’t have it waiting on the mail in prescription to arrive. One time it was lost and I had none to take until they did a trace to try and locate first before they refill and I had went all that time without it.
