i went back to the dr. today. i do have hypothyroidism and i will have to take meds for the rest of my life. i will stay on this medication(a low dosage right now) for 6 weeks and then retest to see how my levels are and then adjust the dosage accordingly. i am okay with this and i am thankful actually. i didn't realize how thankful until we went over the numbers on my lab results. i don't have diabetes, my cholesterol is excellent, my liver and kidneys are great and i have an athletic heart! i am as healthy as a horse, even though i don't always feel like it, i am. oh! and i am not pregnant!! lol! i didn't think i was, but had them check anyways. so yes, i am very thankful that hypothyroidism is all i have, and that it is easy to manage.
there was one other thing, there was a high level of protein in my blood. on the one hand, he didn't seem to be too concerned about it, but then being the over and above dr. he seems to be, he wants me to have more blood work done tomorrow...
