I went back to the dr. yesterday to have my blood drawn again to check my thyroid.
The dr. called this morning with the results and he was even a bit confused.
There are two things they check:
1. Hormone that tells my body to make the thyroid hormone (or so I understand it).
I think normal is at least .19.
Last month my number was .01, the lowest it will register.
Now it was .14 or something like that. The point is that it is going up!
2. The actual thyroid hormone.
Normal is 2.9-4.1
Last month mine was 7.1!! a little hyper-thyroid :)
Now, it's 2.1...hmmm, now I'm hypo-thyroid?
The family dr. said I am either levelling off or I am turning into hypo-thyroid!
He said to go back in a month and have it checked again, but it is definitely getting better. I can tell too, I'm not having heart palpitations and I'm not shaking anymore.
I have to go see the endocrine specialist in a month to determine what to do with this all.
Please continue to hope and pray that this will level off, I don't want to stop nursing Christian and go on thyroid medicine!
