Thyroid function

I FINALLY HAVE SOME ANSWERS TO MY HEALTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got up this morning, fed Katie, got her ready, and then strolled her over to Mom’s about 10:30am or so + got to hang out with them for about 30 minutes before walking back home to get ready for my church friend to pick me up. She arrived right around 11:45am and we were off. I had a pretty long wait at the Doc’s office, but I expected that. I was so anxious! Eventually got called back, weighed, etcetc then put in a room to anxiously wait more. Finally the Doc came in!!! He had my lab work and was writing stuff down and I’m thinking AAAH, what are you writing?!! I wanna know!

So, here’s the dealio. Everything looks okay on my bloodwork, EXCEPT my thyroid levels are a little low and the antibodies are attacking my thyroid! He put me on Armour thyroid meds to get those levels boosted up and I took one tonight and already feel a little different. We’ll see. I’m just soooooo happy I finally have concrete answers after suffering significantly since early 2010. I WILL HAVE ENERGY AGAIN, WOOOOOOOOOT. I can lose weight again! Sleep REALLY WELL again!

Anyhow, my church friend took me home then I called Mom and walked over to get Katie. We came home, she went down for nap, and then this evening after Brad got home we went to the store to get my meds and some chicken for Katie’s dinners.

We’re gonna watch THE WALKING DEAD! =)

Cozy nap

We just finished watching the latest episode of Bones…. loved it!!! Booth and Bones are awesome. I can’t wait till they have their baby. I can’t believe that show has been on 7 seasons.

Well, well. We got up and headed to church this morning. The morning was good and as usual, I was attempting to get my 3 girls to listen in the Sunday school class. One of the girls just cannot sit still for longer than 5 minutes! After church, we came home and Katie had her usual fit. She played and I watched some of The Doctors on tape….. then gave Katie lunch and down for her nap! I was getting pretty sleepy myself so I went and took a good nap too.

We had turkey burgers and veggies tonight! Katie had turkey sausage, veggies, and potatoes. She was super whiney tonight. If we don’t do what she wants when she wants it at that EXACT MINUTE, she gets whiney or aggitated. Zero patience! She’s been attempting lately to delay bed time, lol… first she’ll want to give me a hug then go back to her room (Brad puts her to bed) and then she wants to give me a kiss then she says this and that so Brad just has to turn off the light and walk away then she screams and has a little fit. Oh my, my.

TOMORROW AT 12:21 IS MY DOC APPOINTMENT! Katie’s gonna go stay with my Mom since I have no idea how long I’ll have to be waiting and my church friend is taking me and she is gonna have 2 kids in tow, so she will already have her hands full.

Please say a prayer for me, if you would. I’m hoping for the absolute BEST, but I’m trying to be realistic about what could happen. I’m getting my lab results back from the 9 or so vials of blood they took about 3 1/2 weeks ago so we shall see. If I could get a clear idea of what exactly has been going wrong in my body…… wow, that would bring me the best relief in my mind, ever. I could work on being the TRUE ME AGAIN. The person that I FOUGHT SO HARD to become, but again I messed it up. I literally burned my body out and it’s time to figure out how to really fix it, or so I really, really, really, really hope so…..

Oh, oh. Brad found this app for our phone that has wallpapers/ringtones/notification sounds and he found the Bones theme ringtone AND found a notification sound that’s from the sound the Bones people make when checking into the lab with their ID’s!!! I LOVE IT. Time to spend some more time looking through the wallpapers and sounds! =)

I will try to update after I get home from the Docs and get settled and such. Gulp…… gotta think positive.
