Mixed feelings
Had a doctor’s appointment a few days ago, today I found out the results on my blood test. Bad news, my hypothyroidism has gotten worse. My hormone levels were at 6.04, and now are at 8.77. A little depressing that it’s still going up after being prescribed medication to bring it down to normal levels.
Does explain why I’ve been so tired and feeling blue all the time though. At the same time though, knowing that I’ve still lost some fat even though my odds are slightly against me for the past few months I feel great and hope to see some major results once I’ve got the proper dosage for my medication.
Also been getting tons of headaches - got new glasses since i needed to update my lense prescription - got some damn nice sunglasses too. I hate contacts - they scare me. So i’m hoping with new glasses and now with the stronger meds my headaches will finally go away. Been drinking lots of water, as much minimal noise (difficult when you’re living with 6 other people, 3 of which are 6 years old and younger) to help try and reduce them.
hoping i’ll get back to my old self soon.

I am sorry to here that. I have been through it too. Are you making sure not to consume soy? Check all your health foods ( protein shake, protein bars and drinks). Jsump2 started a group for us to help each other with hints. It is called FTP (fitness and thyroid problems). Check it out. I hope you feel better soon!

Congratulations on your fat losing feat! Maybe your progress will go at a slower pace because of the hormone levels, but progress it is !!!
