Health crap accomplished.
Well, my doctor is back in practice, temporarily housed in a small clinic but soon to move to his own place. This is fantastic news. This is the doctor who, when I couldn't pay for meds, made sure I had samples to get me through. He's a good guy. Seeing him again was very nice, even though I'd just gotten up and was super-groggy.
For purposes of tracking health crap and changes to same, my TSH is up and my Synthroid dose has been raised to 200mcg. Not enough thyroid meds could easily explain my lethargy, coldness, difficulty concentrating, bad skin, and poor mood. So, we're going to address that and then maybe look at adjusting my brain meds, once I'm metabolizing things properly again. I'm going to push him to medicate the thyroid issues until my TSH is very low, not just "normal," and see if that improves things.
Of slight concern was an elevated result for a liver enzyme, but that might simply be due to the fact that I had taken two different antibiotics and Wellbutrin and Seroquel and Benadryl and(I think) clonazepam within 24 hours of the blood draw. Possibly ibuprofen as well. GAH. Put like that, I sound like a walking pharmacy. Anyway, I hope that it was just caused by the meds. I certainly don't feel unwell in a worrisome way, and have absolutely no symptoms of liver problems otherwise. But that many meds, that's gotta be taxing the system. Thank goodness I'm off the antibiotics and haven't needed the clonazepam. I'll have that retested in a few weeks, if I have the money at that time.
Sold the box I put up on Etsy, so that should help. Actually, I think that may go toward buying me some good walking shoes, 'cause I ought to get back to exercising. Anyway, if it was one of youall, sing out! I will throw a surprise in for you. I need to do some more of those boxes. They sell really well and are a lot of fun. Which reminds me . . . I have some stuff for The Return of Thing I Made Thursday that I need to photograph and try to post tomorrow or next week. Also some random stuff for sale. So maybe I'll go do that now.
I will leave you with a gorgeous Brazilian boy to drool over. I don't know what it is, but man, they make some beautiful people down there. Beautiful, lippy, soft-eyed boys with perfect skin. Yum.
