Thyroid update

Things have been going good on the film set. Long days, but it's really fun being around lots of creative people. It's a nice change of pace for me, since I'm usually by myself all day, its great being around so much activity.
Anyway, I got my blood drawn yesterday and got the results today. My thyroid has gone back to hypo, which isn't that much of a surprise to me, but annoying none the less. Why can't the dang thing just work? Oh, well. So my doctor is going to put me on a different medication for it. I can't recall what exactly it is right now, but I'm going to pick it up at the pharmacy tomorrow. Then I get to go back in a month and get it tested again. Yeah. I am hopeful that it will work. They asked me if I still wanted to be on my previous medication (Armor), but I said I was willing to try something different. I mean, not that it didn't help me, it just didn't make a huge difference in how I felt, so I may as well try something else. I just want to get it taken care of, so even though it's not going to be the greatest trying something new, then testing, then repeating the same thing over again, I am willing to do it because I do want to find something that works. Plus I got a little personal spiritual message, or feeling, if you will, that I still need to learn patience a couple weeks ago. Dang. How much longer am I going to have to learn this lesson? I don't know, but I do know things will work out in the end. Anyway, I will update again in probably a week. Hope that I will be feeling better then. I've done ok on my goals, but haven't been exercising, with being on the film set and all. At least the people who are doing catering for it have lots of healthy options for the food, so I'm good there!

  3. I'm sorry you've got to be back on medication, but I am humbled at your willingness to do whatever it takes. Remember, you've got cheerleaders here in Hershey, PA!
