Re: Just talked to the doctor

[Guest guest]

Thanks Roni and thank YOU and others who are always so supportive to those

in the group! These groups have been a God send! Don't know what I would

have done if I didn't find all of you!

So far it sounds like you are doing just fine. I am happy that you have a doctor

who

listens and is willing to work with you. That is soooo important. Keep up the

good

work and let us know how you are doing.

and Cortef starting tomorrow I go from 1/2 grain to 3/4 of a grain. He said

about 4 or 5 days I am to raise my Cortef from 2.5mgs twice a day to 5mgs

twice a day.

We talked a bit about my blood work that was drawn on 12/19. The day before

was the last time I had Cytomel then after the blood draw, I started on

Armour. He said things were looking better. Once I get the blood work faxed to

me I will post numbers. I am Curious to see how the blood labs are next time

now that I am on Armour.

I have really started to feel better. At times I feel the way I felt years

ago!

Just wanted to give my up date. I am NOT looking for people to say oh you

are not on enough of the meds....remember it's different for everyone and I am

lucky I have a doctor who listens, tests for what ever I want and wants to

take things slowly with my best interest in mind.

Thank you for the kind words. I feel the same way. Sometimes it's difficult or

impossible

to explain to friends and family how you feel, especially if it is an ongoing

thing. It still

sort of " takes one to know one " , and these groups are absolutely precious to

us all.

You are very blessed to have a good doctor (I'd like to give an analogy here

but won't). Also, glad your feeling young again!!!!!
