i think I forgot to mention that my thyroid is already messed up. I have hashimotos (it’s an autoimmune disorder). My thyroid level was four TIMES lower (hypothyroid) when it was recently checked. Lithium can MESS your thyroid up, even when it’s in GOOD shape. I questioned Dr Ratchet about this and he didn’t seem to care.

I also have hypothyroidism due to lithium. But it’s been a lifesaver to me. The benefits outweigh the risks.

I already am hypothyroid though. I have an autoimmune disease where my thyroid goes back in forth between hypo and hyper. I’m not sure that would be good.

Today mom and I are taking Moo and Copper to the vet for vaccines. I'm watching a movie having coffee while copper snoozes in between my knees. What does Thursday look like for you?
