Step by step

Wednesday I went into the doctors for another blood draw to see how my thyroid is doing with medication. The blood draw last month was incredibly painful... So i wasn't looking forward to it.

Last month my dr was out of office when I went in for my physical so I saw a NP. I really like her and since she had the foresight to check my thyroid and discovered I'm hypo I choose to continue seeing her. She asked me how I've been feeling since I started my medication. I've had better day but I still have bad days. She ordered a full panel on my thyroid to test my T3 and T4 and thyroid. Also check my iron levels.
I got my result back today. The medication is working and helping bring my thyroid levels back to normal. But she doesn't understand why my symptoms are still present and fatigue is a major problem. She wonders if I might have a mono viruse that is an underlying issue. I'll continue with my medicine, start taking multi vitamins and heavy dose of vitamin D. Hopefully I'll see some improvements. She also recommends eating a small protein snack every 3 hours to help stabilize my blood sugar. I go back in 3 months for more blood work.

I wish I was seeing more improvements. It seems like I'm taking small steps but my symptoms aren't getting any better. My Mood swings and fatigue are beyond exhausting. And my amazing and sweet husband and only take so much. Praying for improvements and answers.
