Next step in the saga
Feb 06, 2009
Saw my PCP today. The thyroid test came back in normal range but one was on the low side compared to my pre surgery results. With that, the hair loss, dry skin, mood swings, cycle changes he thinks it is an underactive thyroid, probably. So I am starting another medicine. It will take 3-4 weeks to see any change. At least it is someting.The blood sugar is not going well. I tried what the nut told me, calcualted it all out, planned my day and was still low at dinner time. I get really weapy as my pcp puts it. feel like crying for any reason - very frustrating.
Ok so my medicine cabinet is now full and my knees hurt so the exercise is not going well. My pcp is going to send me some exercises to help strengthen the knees. I hope it helps I really want to do more. I feel like I am letting myself and my surgeon down.
Ok new twist. I woke up this morning at 3 with a pain around my port that hurt so bad I could not breath. It been sore since I fell on tuesday. I ask my PCP, yes it is workmans comp but I wa there today and really don't want to involve another dr. right now if I don't have to, he thinks it is just the mussels, he also said if I had dislodged the port, I would have more constant pain and woudl have know at that time. It will just take time. We will see, if it does not quit soon I may go anyway just to get it officially recorded.
Ok so no dr apt next week but need to make one with headach clinic, another neurologists. I hope he is a little more personable than my othre one. She may be one of the best but we really so not mesh personality wise. I suppose the 3 month headach may have something to do with that.
Hope we get our good weather this weekend. I want to clean the salt off the car and get some stuff done at work.
Oh well it is getting late, more when I get any info.
