This post was going to be a “so long thyroid medicine, it’s been nice but I’m over you” kind of post.
Unfortunately, that will have to be postponed for a while.
Been off my meds for one month and got blood work done 2 weeks ago to check on TSH level which was way too low.
This time round, though I guestimated my TSH level at about 2.5 in a (0.15-4) bracket, based on how I was feeling, the test showed my TSH level to be at 7.21.
What is absolutely crazy and I must credit this incredible field for it, is that I am still standing and functioning ok, with this really high TSH level vs being a zombie with much lower TSH level 5 years ago.
I am experiencing a whole host of symptoms but I am still able to function.
So it’s back on the meds for me (and I am grateful for the small help and relief they offer), this field 3x as usual and more blood test in 2 weeks time to see what’s happening.
I know that this sudden hike in TSH level is the result of two emotional shocks at work about 3 weeks ago so my next challenge is to find a way to make sure no emotional shock of any kind ever impacts my health again.
Off to read the forum and work out the best way to achieve this.
Immense gratitude for this field for the difference it’s making to my life.
