...with your arms and legs inside the vehicle as we approach the station. When the ride comes to a complete stop, pull up on your lap bars, open your safety belts, and exit to the right. Enjoy the rest of your day here at...
The ride is over. I think. At least for now. For the first time in twenty seven months...(drumroll please)...
My thyroid levels are perfect! All three numbers are exactly where they should be! No medicine adjustment needed! No blood work six weeks from now!
I posted in March about the crazy thyroid fluctuations I'd been experiencing since the start of my pregnancy over two years ago. I had blood work done last week in preparation for my doctor appointment today. Based on how I thought I was feeling, I never expected it to have landed in the normal range. That means my dragging-ass fatigue these days can only be blamed on my beautiful little spitfire in combination with the new job challenges and not a medical excuse. Guess I need to just face the fact that life itself has me worn out...I was so used to blaming my thyroid.
It also means I can no longer rely on the temporary infertile state unbalanced thyroid levels cause for peace of mind. We just lost our failsafe back-up plan. All systems are go...proceed with caution. Extreme caution. If I'm this tired now, I can't even begin to imagine the sheer exhaustion two would bring.
Anyway, the direction is to stay on this current medication for the next six months until my appointment in January when blood work will once again be required. If I feel any strong symptoms that would indicate a level shift in either direction, I need to head to the lab and schedule an appointment with the doctor as soon as possible.
So, here's to hoping I make it six months with no major setbacks... As much as I love rollercoasters, I'm more than ready to stay on solid ground for a while.
