Since I have been feeling so crappy, I have only managed to make it through one full shift and two partial shifts at work over the last two weeks. Luckily, over the years I have not missed much time, and even after all this have 3-4 months of sick leave in my leave bank.
On Thursday I left early and caught a ride to University hospital, where I had a blood draw in preparation for my next specialist visit on upcoming Tuesday.
Yesterday the endocinologist's office called and told me to start synthroid right away. Apparently the blood labs did show that I am now in a state of hypothyroidism, and they did not want me to wait even until Tuesday to start the synthetic thyroid hormones. So they faxed a prescription to my pharmacy, and I started taking the drug this morning (it has to be taken with water only on an empty stomach, so should be taken first thing in the morning an hour before eating or drinking anything else).
So I am on the last bit of road to wellness now. They have to get the synthroid dose right, and once that happens I will be feeling well and normal for the first time in years. Thank God.
