I realized it’s been a while since my last update. I haven’t blogged about my last couple appointments. My endocrinologist sent me to have an allergy test done over the summer to see if there’s something that we’re missing. My symptoms are not improving, and new ones keep showing up. He said there might beContinue reading “Endo Update”

Endo Update
I went back to my endocrinologist earlier today. The thing I love about my doctor is that he never makes me feel crazy. He listens to me as I rattle off symptom after symptom. He nods his head as he looks at his computer screen viewing my latest blood work. This time around, my thyroidContinue reading “Endo Update”
Endo Update
I went back to the endocrinologist on Monday to see if this new dosage is working. I saw a new doctor. My doctor was off for the New Year. This new doctor said my TSH is a little higher than they would like it to be but they are going to leave my dosage aloneContinue reading “Endo Update”

A Sprinkle of Positivity

I know most (all) of my posts about Hashimoto’s have been a bit (a lot) negative. This post is different. Yes, Hashimoto’s sucks. But IContinue reading “A Sprinkle of Positivity”
Hashi-Hell
I feel like Hashimoto’s is taking over my life! For whatever reason, I can’t kick this damn disease. It has got to go, like NOW! I am tired of being fatigued and sore all the time for no reason. I haven’t worked out in three weeks and am still having muscle weakness and overall soreness.Continue reading “Hashi-Hell”
Good night…yeah right!
I have been on this new dose of medication for about 5-6 weeks now and I was convinced I was reverting back to the hypo symptoms (which was weirdly comforting) but these past few days, I have started to feel like I did over summer when I flip flopped between hypo and hyper symptoms.Continue reading “Good night…yeah right!”
I hate bikes. Seriously. They’re for the birds!
They (whoever “they” are) say certain things are like “riding a bike”, meaning that thanks to muscle memory, the activity that hasn’t been done in a while is easily picked back up with minimal effort. I went back to boot camp today for the first time in 6 weeks. It was NOT like riding aContinue reading “I hate bikes. Seriously. They’re for the birds!”
Endo Update
I went to see my endocrinologist today to get the results of my recent blood work. As I suspected, my labs look great. My endo seems to think that the triiodothyronine hormone (better known as T3) in the Nature Thyroid medication I’ve been taking is the cause of my new symptoms. He said my bodyContinue reading “Endo Update”
Hashi-WHAT?!?!
I have been struggling with the common signs of aging (fatigue, weight gain, memory loss…) for the past few years. Last November, those signs started to get worse. At 37 years old, I started to wonder if it was something more than just aging happening. I had been working out 3-5 days a week atContinue reading “Hashi-WHAT?!?!”
