No really. I swear.
After getting to immigration & waiting the 15-or so minutes for my number to be called, only to discover that I wasn't due there 'til tomorrow, I left & decided I should still have time to get to my doctor to find out the results of last week's tests.
Not much more new, except that she says I'm not anemic, though borderline, I guess, so need to keep ahead of it. Still low on those previously-mentioned vitamins, plus some others that I know are commonly recommended for those of us with thyroid problems. Luckily, the clinic just happens to sell some. I didn't ask, though really needed/wanted to, if they are without grains. I kind of know there isn't any way they are. But I spent the money, so I feel like I have to go ahead & use at least one month, if not the full 2 month supply.
I finally decided to ask her about anti-depressant interactions--she said none really, but offered 2 other supplements that help with seratonin production-- basically, I'm trying a "natural" anti-depressant for now.
Finally, my T4 is definitely too high but T3 still a bit low, so in addition to the supplements aiding my body in convering the T4 to T3, she gave me T3 pills. This is not something I've really heard of doctors doing anywhere-- most people want the T3 so as not to worry about issues with converting, but for whatever reasons, doctors are loathe to supply it.
My urine, just as when I had a mysterious UTI a month or 2 ago, continues to show signs of inflammation. Interestingly, I do regularly now get what feels a bit like the UTI pains, though somewhat muted, & it isn't enough to disturb sleep, & is gone by morning. Just feeling it ebb away now, actually. Wondering if it was coffee, though suspecting more the irresistible taste of kimchi jiggae I had yesterday. Eh, who knows. Will ask if we can figure out what could be causing said inflammation.
Finally, said I don't have Hep B antibodies, so recommended the booster. I agreed, then was perturbed to find, while getting the shot, that I can't workout today, nor shower.
Soooo, here's hoping. Back in a month to see how it's all gelling, or not.
