*SQUEE* Hubby took off work today so he could drive me to my Naturalist appointment. We left around 12:40pm and got there right on time. I had to wait anyway because my Naturalist was super busy. I went back to see her and asked questions about suggestions on food, servings per day of this or that, number of calories, and then she weighed me. She was super happy that I had lost even more weight. I bought more of my Total Vegan protein powder, got my “reset” drops that I start tomorrow (just helps with appetite, etc), liquid multi, protein bars, and then waited to see her MD. This is the first time seeing the MD that heads over my Naturalist and she was super nice. She went ahead and wrote me a prescription for Cytomel (it’s T3 to help with my low T3 thyroid levels) and said that I needed to go have my thyroid labs done again since it had been 4 months and she needed to check them again, so she could give me the right dosing of the Cytomel. She also said that my iron levels were on the low side and I needed to take it twice a day for 6 weeks then down to just once a day. After it was all done, we went to LabCorp to get my blood drawn. My Naturalist said she’ll have the results tomorrow, let the MD know, and then she will email me what dosing i will be taking so I can go fill the prescription tomorrow evening. After my appointments, we drove over to Trader Joe’s to poke around – then over a few roads to a reallllllllly HUGE Whole Foods. Got a handful of goodies! It POURED on us on the way home and we’re getting rain/thunder/lightning this evening.
I FEEL SO HAPPY. I know that the combination of iron and Cytomel will help me feel super awesome again. I’ll start taking it Saturday morning! I might go to the gym Saturday and if not then deffo on MONDAY.
Such a great day. I feel so blessed! I’m getting my health back and it is so wonderful.
