Dr: That's so bizarre...
This one is so going down on the record. I had another appointment with my doctor today to discuss my blood tests results. She's like, "I've got it right here..." Shuffling noises enamate on the other end of the line. Then after enough time has elapsed for her to have skimmed through the results, she says, "This is bizarre..."
When they test your thyroid they test for how much T4 is in your body, how much T3 (WTS people don't have enough T3), and TSH. TSH is kind of like what your body is saying about your thyroid. When it's a low number it's saying, "There's plenty of thyroid stuff in your body, so don't make too much more." and when the number is really high it's saying quiete frankly, "We're running low. Quick! Make more!"
Back in January my TSH was saying 3.3 and that was high enough to say my thyroid wasn't making enough stuff. Now it's 6.9 of all numbers. I almost felt this evil kind of satisfaction from scaring my doctor out so much. She spent a good part of the whole appointment just going, "Bizarre. That is so bizarre." 'Cause really it shouldn't be anywhere like that, and especially because I was taking so much T3 there for 4 months it should have gone down.
This all now means that I get some more lovely tablets to add to my ever-growing mound, and that I have to get another blood test in a month *groans*
Something I realised, though, the other day was--apart from my thyroid, adrenals, and liver (you're thyroid goes through your liver and Glandular Fever directly attacks and lives in your liver...)--I've got an extremely healthy body, what with having to eat so healthy and all these supplements. My nails are the best I've ever seen them. In three weeks they've grown almost as long as it took me two months to get them before the wedding, and they're really strong. And I haven't done a thing with them. Not filed 'em; no nada. Still they look really good. *grins*
BTW, for our internet we get charged by how much download we do in a month, and the last couple of months we've been going over our alloted download (1,100 MB) because Hannah had been using webcam. We figured out the problem before we went over this month, but it means it's been tight this last week, and we're only suppose to check our mail...so, I'm sorry that I haven't been to visit any of your blogs! The month should turn over this weekend, and I'll come haunt you all then.
