And You Think It Would Be Simple
Follow-up-from-last-post: I'm now over the stomach wog. I just went to bed for a few days and ate mostly Panadol. Still don't know where I got it from...
~~~*~~~
After chatting with my doctor I always seem to get this mentality of, "Ah! Now we know. We'll just do this and it'll all be simple." It seems like all the street lights have suddenly been turned on and now I'll be able to arrive at the end with no more senseless tumbles in the dark, but life doesn't work like that. Nothings perfect, and because of such there can never be a plan that will work perfectly. Complications arise--I just hit another "uniqueness of Lyd".
You know how the latest plan goes: I take the medication for my adrenal glands and once they're working again I'll be able to go back to concentrating on getting my thyroid working. In the meantime--whilst getting my adrenal glands alive again--Dr Price said I should be able to take around 30-40mcg (I'll probably get up near 90mcg once my adrenals are working again) of T3 (the medication for my thyroid) and it would help my body some even if I couldn't feel any change. So, this last week I've begun back on the lovely T3. Only on 10mcg 'cause you're suppose to build the dose up slowly.
Now get this: this last week I've felt clearer in the head (and even slightly more interested in things) but in place of the fog I've been getting these splittin' headaches and the last few days I've felt extremely irritable, everything hits me the wrong way. Then to boot two or three nights I've had trouble getting to sleep at night. In fine print it seems to spell 'overdose'. And I'm only at 10mcg of T3! *screams* Sometimes my body just seems to defy every medical rule that was ever discovered.
So, anyway, I was talking it over with Mum this 'arvy and I'm gonna go back off the T3. I've been to Overdose Land before and I have no desire to go back for a visit. In the meantime, I just wanted to let y'all know that an update is coming. Just give me a few days for this T3 to get out of my system, and a chance to sleep off this headache.
