hel_anaSlightly awkward as I got to have the following conversations:
Dr: Your TSH is a bit high.
Me: Yes. I realized that I wasn't reliably taking my meds, so I've made some changes in the way I set up my vanity in order to better remember.
Dr: Ok, well then let's retest in 2 months, but you really need to take your meds.
Me: :sigh:
Also:
Dr: So how are you feeling?
Me: Eh
Dr: And your energy levels?
Me: Meh flappy arm movements and tone of voice to indicate that I generally feel like a bucket of crap, but I'm resigned to it But let's be realistic. I sleep 6 hours a night. We can talk about my thyroid, but it's likely the sleep thing is a bigger deal.
Apparently today was "brutal truth with my doctor" day.
With that said, numbers are all fine and there's nothing concerning in the thyroid bed on the ultrasound, so on we go.
