Surprise. I Need a Higher Dose.

That was pretty fast...getting the results from the bloodwork I did on Friday. The nurse at my doctor's office left me a voicemail at home yesterday, so I called today.

Everything looks good, cholesterol, blood sugar, liver function, but my thyroid is underactive again, so I have to up my dosage (was alternating between 175---4 days a week and 150---remaining days).

It's really not a surprise to me (and my fault for not getting the bloodwork done sooner, like 6-9 months sooner), because I have been feeling very tired, can't sleep well or concentrate, the usual, but my hair has been steadily falling off since February. I was chalking it up to a delayed reaction to stressful events, I've had so many!

My arms are still as hairy though.
