thyroid results

I had my 2nd follow up appoint. today with my endocrinologist, we reviewed my labs that I had taken at the beginning of this week. And I'm glad to say they went down alot! 6wks ago, for my first blood test my TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) was 72. The normal range is 0.3-2, so it was very high. He prescribed synthroid and since taking it these past 6wks it's went down to 4. So still abit high, but lots better then it was. He upped the medicine and I'll follow up again in January. I think this will be the right dosage though, and I'm very happy to have it more in check.
Your thyroid produces alot of important hormones, it's kind of like your equilibrium and when it's off everything is. So it's important, needless to say :) My main symptom was fatigue and in general just very tired, I can tell I'm starting to feel better. I guess I'm lucky because you can have alot of more severe symptoms, and mine was pretty high so I feel blessed to only have the few that I do.

After the appoint. we took the kids to the park and let them feed the ducks. They had alot of fun! I also got a haircut today, I guess you can't always have those perfect haircuts and today was one of those times. I'm not that unhappy with it, but she sure did cut my bangs too short and I'm not happy about that, or the layering. That women is lucky I'm a laid back kind of gal because I could have been a real jerk about it. LOL Also, afterwards she was trying to style it so funny..like, giving me the "up poof" in the back hairspraying it, I guess it's in these days but it's not for me. Being the outspoken person I am, I straight out said, without really thinking I guess.... I don't like that style and it's not for me.... not in a mean way, kind of a joking way, but I was serious. LOL
She started to comb it back down, and at that point I told her I would just do it and styled it my normal way. I know, I'm a conservatist, me+change=does not go very well.
