This is a wee bit frustrating. I have a lot of swelling around my eyes and my vision is a bit more impaired because my FT4 is to low for me. Its 12.9 range 10.5-20.0   I see my doc on the 22nd and Im hoping she will think about my taking small amounts of Synthroid to help with this. I already know that I feel really good when my FT4 is between 16 and 17   My TSH and FT3 are in a good place for me although I could handle a bit more FT3 but I feel okay where its at. I am also having muscle aches and joint pain...all hypo stuff. I thought I saw the last of hypo hell but it appears I have more to deal with. The odd thing is ...even though Im having eye problems and my vision is a bit more blurry I have been able to reduce down to my original prescrip for prisims. So in one sense things are getting better but worse in another sense. TED sucks. It just goes to show you that your levels really do effect TED. Im sad though..because I was hoping to have my double vision corrected this Feb but since there still moving I probably wont be able to. I just want to have one pair of glasses and see everything. What a treat that would be.

Well I didnt make it into my new house this past weekend. I will probably be able to this weekend though.  I got the picket fence done complete with gates. Ive got one coat of white paint on them and  it looks great. I took pictures so I will post them when I figure out how to get them on the computer. Ive done it once before but I have forgotten how I did it. I washed  every sq inch of the place..it was so dirty. But it looks really good. I should be ready to start painting on Friday. Im getting so excited. Im going to love my little house by the ocean with the white picket fence...lol...it just feels right!

I had a bit of a set back on the emotional front. It seems to come and go. I was doing really well and then it hit me..like a wave. Im over it now..I think...so Im thinking that Ive had my one step back and now its time to take 3 stelps forward. Its just so hard to walk away from the dream. Ive been told many times that I live in a bubble...but I like my bubble. My ex husband may not fit into my bubble anymore but I have room for new people and experiences. I love my bubble. Its a good place to be! Big Hugs...Kathy
