Hi all...long time no see...
Hope everyone is well...weather's been such an issue the past few months...hope all are safe in the Texas and south, who seem to get hammered so hard...
Had an appointment with a new endocrinologist this morning. Said my thyroid is small, indicating that being on a too-high dose of Synthroid has atrophied the gland.
He gave me a new script for an in-between dose...I'd been told to alternate high and lose doses the past month or so, which is a pain. Hope this new dosage does the trick and stabilizes my numbers. He is also referring me to a medication management program. He feels that the medications I'm on and
their interactions may be causing the extreme fatigue.
I lost a couple of pounds while on vacation, and continue to choose healthy foods. Fruit, oatmeal, lean meats, salads, no chocolate (except maybe a small piece of dark), and drink lots of water. I need to lose a huge amount, but the endocrinologist told me to be realistic and work consistently with diet and exercise, especially with all of the health issues.
Well, hope everyone is having a good day...
I need to start eating better too. I end up eating out way too often.
He is home but oxygen is perminant his poor lungs are wrecked and he's very weak but still fighting. I had a chat with his wife over how frustrated he will get not being able to do things for himself I said it will be hard as I find it so being disabled. ( though will be far harder on him having been so active and indipendent) My TN has not let up and I know travel makes it worse but I will put up with it so can make memories of our time with Andy (uncle) well am off again love to you all Jackie xxxxxxx 
. I have been more tired than usual since the beginning of March. I usually make it home from school and spend a few hours just lying in bed. For the past few days, I noticed more strange sensations( partially numb feeling) on the back of my leg and my upper back. My rib cage and back have also been hurting more than normal for the past few weeks. Knees and legs are also pretty painful but I assume that is my arthritis. I have also been more clumsy than normal the past few days -- always dropping things. I just hope this passes quickly. I still have three more weeks of classes to get through plus finals. I don't plan on calling my neuro because we have an agreement about steroids. That is, I won't use them unless I have a case of optic neuritis or end up in the hospital due to ms.
