So, I saw my endo today for the results of a ton of bloodwork I had run about 2 weeks ago. My thyroid levels were slightly elevated so we are having me alternate with a lower dose of synthroid every...

Okay, so here's another update but not a great one :(. So, last update, my doctor upped my dose of Synthroid to 112mcg daily.... I decided to opt to have my tubes tied as I'm not getting younger...

WOW. It's hard to believe it's already Day 5. TIme is going by so fast. I think that I'm just reacting to every little symptom I feel out of sheer panic after living with Graves and all the wonderful...

Hoping this is transient symptoms... I keep getting these darn twitches in my right eye and every now and then on the right side of my neck or shoulder... WTH? Yesterday, it was "surges".... today...
