What the heck is going on?
Lately I’m beginning to think I’m overmedicated. Or crazy. I’ve been on 50mcg of generic Synthroid for almost three weeks now. I’ve blogged, researched, and complained about my symptoms and reread portions of my hypothyroid books. The bottom line is that I’m still not feeling better. The only symptom that has improved has been the mood ...Read more.
it’s a big one
You may or not know that I’ve been on generic Synthroid for over a week. I will save my discussion of generics v. name brands for another time. I’ve been keeping track of my symptoms and I have noticed a slight change. Here are my changes: Fewer naps (some days none) Fewer mood swings Scalp ...Read more.
Thryoid and Mona Lisa
So, I’ll cut to the chase. I started my first dose of T4 Wednesday. And boy it’s been a long time coming, as you know. Finally connected with the gynecologist who was the only doctor to believe in me enough to willingly try a dose of Synthroid on me. In case I forgot to tell ...Read more.
More. sort of
So I’m reading an article from thyroid patient advocate Mary Shomon. In this article she discusses why and when you need an endocrinologist.

I have a confession
So maybe you’ve noticed I haven’t been around much since june 1st. or maybe you haven’t notice. Whatever. But since completing NaBloPoMo for May, I’ve taken a teeny little break. Posting every day for a month is taxing. And the timing for the end of NaBloPoMo was perfect because I have entered another mood swing ...Read more.
Looking up: a rehash
Well it’s hard to believe that its been a whole month! At times I thought this month would never end. Looking back, I can’t believe how quickly the month passed. My personal blog has had some interesting looking up topics. During this month I have blogged about: my hair (or lack of it), looking for ...Read more.
today’s mishmash
I’ve been having trouble keeping up with all the papers and bits of things I need to look at during the course of a day. I’m stuck on my Android and feel like I can’t live without it, but it doesn’t seem to be doing the things I needed it to do or at least ...Read more.
