sorry i disappeared for a while. i got a lot of messages from concerned people. no worries! i am actually doing great! i've been making music and i put the link to my myspace on my page. i would love it if people checked it out. however, my stuff is copyrighted and i am currently woking on a project so please do not steal. i've had people attempt to and i can take major legal action. just a warning, not that i think people will steal it. but anyway, my blood levels with the thyroid meds seem to be great. and i am going through a lot right now, busy and lots of stress in the family right now. but music is helping me cope. i will be on here more often though. hope everyone is doing well. xoxo

i've been on synthroid for a few weeks now. i started on 75 mcg, and two weeks post-op my doc switched me to 100 mcg.
it makes sense. he said my levels were at 0.8 when they should be at 1.0 so he uped it 15mcg.
money has become a bit of an issue lately. and i cant afford $30 co pays with all these doctors, so my endo said that he'll just see me every 6 months instead, and i'll get lab tests in between and he'll call me. he also said to call them any time i am feeling hyper/hypo.
you know the funny thing? i lost 8lbs even though i was hypo, and eating well. lol and i was so scared of gaining weight.
i feel better. less anxious, more calm, more engery, happier, and just all around healthier. i'm actually looking foward to going back to work. i just lost both my grandpareents within the last 10 months (grandma passed last september, and grandpa passed a few weeks ago). so i think it'll be good for me to go back to work, seeing as i am a nursing assistant caring for elderly people. after my grandma died last september, it comforted me to still have my grandpa to take care of. now that my grandpa is gone, maybe my job will comfort me.
i really do love caring for people. i joined a caregiver support group, since i have professional experience and maybe i can help others.
i dunno what it is, but i just love to nuture people physically and emotionally. my friends and i were talking last night, about how we want to die (yeah i know, kinda morbid haha) and i said, "i wanna die saving someone elses life, or sleeping in my bed" and it's true. i wanna go out doing something good for someone, or sleeping peacefully. either that, or i wanna go out having amazing sex, haha!
so yeah, i joined a caregivers support group. maybe i'll share about my grandpa. i have a picture of him when he was my age (around 18-25 yrs) and he looks so handsome! now i know where i get my good looks! haha. maybe i'll post it on here sometime.
so to wrap up.. i am feeling great. surgery was the right decision! best thing i ever did for my health. i'm still grieving my grandpa, and my grandma, but i am feeling better every day. coming to terms with accepting it. they are together, in some state of peace, and in love again.
Glad to hear that everything is going well with your health, at least! Family troubles are so hard. :( I hope everything gets calm for you, soon!
