Starting Over

That is upsetting, but at least there's some hope of finding out what's wrong. You're lucky to have such a caring doctor that's interested in getting to the bottom of this. Now that's a real rarity.
 
hey you said it yourself. you've got a great doc and you are doing amazingly especially considering the thyroid. welldone! keep it up!

;-)

I agree with Cita. Things can't be fixed until you find out what's wrong. I hope all goes well! :hug2:

Here's you TLD boobie soap up. :waving: :pumpkin::pumpkin: :waving:
 
Hey Power House!! Seems you and the doc have been seeing a lot of each other lately. It's great to see he's actually got some ideas and suggestions that are helpful. I know you must be going nuts just wanting to do whatever it takes to get straightened out, I know I would! I'll bet it's something easy to take care of like hormone imbalance or something like that. At our age this is about the time our bodies start whacking out anyways. And I truly think that by all the working out you have been doing the past months and the eating good, has really helped your body out regardless of any weight loss. I've been in the exact boat with you my sister and I know I feel better when I work out even if I'm not getting any smaller. Hang in there, I have a feeling he will figure out what's causing your body malfunction and get your squared away. Your such a trooper, you totally amaze me, I seriously admire your spirit!!
love to ya sweets!! OH and soapy boobie rubbing's too. AHHHHH can't forget about that now can I
HUGS!

Have a great weekend, gorgeous! :hurray:

Ooh it's gettin' hot in here! So take of all your clothes ~Amy singing~ Ha! Love that song!

I am mentally visualizing myself spanking you right now. :reddevil:
 
Sooooo, the doc said I'd start feeling alot better very quickly after starting the new meds, and guess what? I feel awesome!!

This is the first time since giving birth that I could go through an entire day fully energized WITHOUT caffeine!!! For the past 16 months I have been drinking 4-6 cups of coffee to just get through the day and workouts. I have been so damn tired all the time and it has sucked. I have literally felt like I am twice my actual age. I never realized the T3 deficiency was causing this. For the past three days I haven't been able to stop moving, BY CHOICE. I have been bursting with energy and haven't needed caffeine at all. I feel great, and happy, and the mental fuzziness is almost gone. NOw I just need to see the pounds dropping and I will be completely convinced. T3 regulates metabolism so I'm hoping the energy, and my resting body temp going up (97 degrees to 99) means that it's getting a bit of a boost. I finally am starting to feel like my age again. Woot!

Now I'm really in the mood for that spanking Kimmers!
 
OMG!! You are too damn funny!! :rofl:

I am mentally visualizing you spanking me now...Ouch! Ow! Oh yeah....you know what I like....:biggrinjester:

I am so freakin' happy that you are feeling tons better!! :hurray::hurray::hurray: <--this is you jumping around with all your new found energy. :D

Now, that Scalentino better start going down on ya, or I'm gonna have a word with the stingy bastard!! :biggrinjester:
 
Oh, I was gonna share this with ya and forgot--my manager is a Republican, and refuses to eat Heinz ketchup b/c of Teresa Heinz Kerry!! :rofl: I thought that was funny.
 
hey good to hear you are feeling a lot better!!! the doc seems great! knows what hes doing.

hope the scale treats you well with all the moving around you've been doing!

have a good week!

;-)

Haha! Lately I haven't had much to post here. I still feel like a million bucks from the new T3 treatment but I think the dose may be a little too much or my system is just shocked. I am SUPER energetic now which is great, but it's affecting my sleep big time. I never slept well until I got pregnant. I always tossed and turned and woke up alot. I am doing it again now for the first time in two years. It feels good to feel like my old self again but it's just a little much to get used to after feeling like I was in a constant fog for the past 25 months (pregnancy and post pregnancy).

Another thing is that I have been ravenous since starting the new med. I don't know if it's because it's almost the TOM or if its because my metabolism is getting a jolt. The past few days 1500 calories just hasn't been enough. I am having to raise my daily calorie intake to 1700 and plan lower calories meals/snacks for each day just in case I have to eat MORE to cover this hunger. Geez!

On another note, we fly to OH on wednesday and the big trial is thursday morning at 7:45am. My SS's mother still hasn't even acknowledged that we are going to court for custody. She failed to do anything the judge ordered - procure an attorney or file a statement that she will be representing herself by February 15th. She hangs up on my H when he tries to discuss it with her. Our lawyer says she is screwing herself over with her actions. I don't know if she plans to just not show up or what. Surely she doesn't think she can show up and try to give the judge a sob story. I have a gut feeling that she WANTS to lose my SS so she can go be with that guy she met online. My SS has only been a paycheck to her and now this guy buys her things and sends her money. I think she knows as long as she has my SS, we will always be in her business and the new guy will find out the truth about her. She has been telling him that she is still a real estate agent when her license was revoked back in October. Her own mother doesn't even know she is unemployed. Her mother told us that this woman (leaving out name) says she has a big closing on a house with a huge paycheck any day now (she has been saying this since before Christmas). Sean and I don't have the heart to tell her her daughter is lying to her to get more money to help her "get by" until it closes.

We are scared and anxious and excited and scared all over again about the trial. We want my SS with us so bad but we have learned the hard way that Family Law is biased against the father. I hope this judge is as good as our lawyer says he is. In OH you practically have to see the mother shooting her kid up with heroine before the child is taken away. It's sick. My SS's teacher told us that it's despicable what CPS will let the parents get away with. She has a female student who has been sexually abused and they still won't remove her from the home. Sick Sick Sick.

Surely the judge won't choose to leave a child with this woman when Sean and I are obviously the better parents. We both have squeaky clean records, successful careers, and tons of references stating our character. We make it our goal in life to make sure our kids have every chance in the world and become well-rounded adults who practice generosity and kindness. She teaches that lying is okay, as well as laziness and using deceit to get what she wants. Oh I HATE HER.

Okay my venting is over. I need to go punch something.
 
Lots of exciting stuff going on! I so hope yall win custody. And of course I'm so glad to hear the meds appear to be working.
 
LOL Yeah, go punch something sweetness, that should make you feel better!! but make sure it's a pillow or something soft, don't want to mess up your pretty little hands before court. LOL LOL you will do JUST FINE, I feel really good about this for some Internal reason. I think the judge will rule in good favor for you and your H, YEAH! I can't wait to hear all about it.

I'm so happy to see your feeling energized finally!! WOW, so they gave you a shot is that right? or what exactly do they do to raise the T3 levels, I hope I put the right levels on here, I tend to forget such details after reading a page full of info. LOL LOL

Well, hope you get much needed rest and still wake up feeling fantastic, that is such wonderful news!! I'm so very happy for you sister!
Hugs

Thanks Kim! I think I'll go running tonight to let off some steam before this Thursday. I can actually visualize myself flying over the table in court (like you see in the movies) and grabbing her by the freaking throat. Lol!!

The T3 actually comes in a daily pill that I take each morning. I felt the effects within 48 hours after my first pill. It's amaxing how different I feel. I am soo happy and relieved about the changes that I could cry. I was REALLY starting to lose hope and sink into a depression about it.

I get the rest of the lab results in this week so we can see how my adrenals and other hormones are doing.

You know, most docs never check T3 levels because it's rare for one not to convert T4 into T3. It's actually more prevalent in women with Type O blood. My blood type is O-. Maybe you should have your doc check the T3 instead of just your TSH and T4. This may be the issue with your body. It's worth a shot to check.
 
hey Amy

hope you get custody. i'm sure you will! you better do with the way you and your H are and she doesn't sound very nice at all! what does your SS think? surely his opinion should count. how old is he?

glad to hear the T3 still working.

have a good day

;-)

me too, I'm a O- also, weird! I'm going to look into the T3 thing, are the pills expensive?? Let me do some research I'm now really interested, and good to see it's working so well for someone I know. GOOD NEWS!!

So did you go running last night?
 
Amy, just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you this week and praying that you get custody of little SS. Best of luck!

The pills are only $10 for a 90 day supply. Most doc refuse to prescribe this because it is not something many people have. Most people will get better when T4 is increased, but there's a small % of us O-types who have trouble converting it to T3. This is why I have had so much trouble getting help. Each doc I have seen thought I was lying and wouldn't check the other levels. It wasn't until I started researching more on it and demanded my T3 be checked that the doc saw that there was indeed something wrong. Yada Yada Yada and here I am feeling awesome and hopefully about to finally start losing weight. *fingers crossed*

No running last night. Bella had a high fever and I had to write a college paper for my friend's boyfriend in exchange for free babysitting and landscaping services. Lol! She'll watch Bella while he rakes my yard and trims my hedges. Too funny!
