I finally went to the doctor after my hypocrappo (Still calling it that because hypercrapper sounds more bathroom related than hypocrappo and hypercrappo doesn’t flow well and hypercrapper sounds even more bathroom related than the first one!) flare up.  I got my blood test on Tuesday and the levels were still out of range :(  they were closer, but not in range yet.  I have been feeling much much better.  Still have trembling, a few headaches once in awhile, still have a very enlarged thyroid (I can see it and feel it) and still feel weak (but that’s cause I lost all my muscles).  But I have much more energy now and my heart is not racing so that’s really good.  Anyway, the nurse that took my bp and weighed me was cool.  Every time I go to the doctor, I really notice whether or not the people are friendly.  This girl was cool, she was very talkative and she even noticed my birthday was in a few weeks and wished me a happy early birthday.  Other nurses just take your vitals and then don’t say anything.  As much as I’m afraid of people talking to me I find it a much better experience when the nurses and doctors are friendly.  The doc came in and it was cool that he reviewed my chart before because the first thing he said to me was, “are you feeling better?” like he knew I was feeling horrible.  Well he did know because I got to email him.  It’s so cool to be able to email questions and concerns to the doctor!  Anyway, he showed me my lab work and it showed that everything was normal last year after April all the way to October.  Then something crazy happened between October and February when my hypocrappo went nuts!!  He’s like what happened here?  Did something different happen?  Did you stop your meds?  Did you miss a few weeks?  Did you have a lot of stress?  I was thinking that I missed a dose here and there but nothing significant.  Stress, I think I’m always stressed about work, maybe it was particularly stressful at that time.  He said it was weird that it shot up so high.  Oh yes, whenever I go to the doctor and see the doctor, I’m always nervous.  So I always get very warm and start to sweat, which made me even more nervous because the doctor had to feel my neck and I was concerned that it would be gross because I was sweating and yadadada.  Anyway, so he checked the thyroid said it was still very swollen, checked my trembling, still trembling quite a bit, examined my eyes (still irritated but unknown if its contacts or from hypocrappo).  So, I’m supposed to get another blood test in a few weeks and I need to see an ophthalmologist to make sure my eyes aren’t all jacked from it.  I had another theory on why things could have gotten out of control.  I had started to eat out very very very frequently and when you eat out those places are extremely ridiculously high in sodium.  The common type of sodium used contains iodine.  Iodine is like fuel for fire when it comes to triggering the thyroid.  I asked the doc about this and he said the meds should have been able to handle it and that maybe my dosage wasn’t enough back then.  But I don’t know, I still think its valid.  At home I only use non-iodized salt and I haven’t cooked very much lately.  Well, I’m kind of nervous to see the ophthalmologist, I hope everything is okay.  I also hope my levels are back to normal in a few weeks!
