I had my follow up appointment with Dr. Wharton today and upon weighing in I learned that I am down about 5% of my body weight. Woohoo. My first goal is to loose 10% so I'm 1/2 way there. I felt very proud meeting with Dr. Wharton he congratulated and encouraged me today. On a more medical note he told me that my tests showed that I have hypothyroidism. Which I suspected and which also explains a lot of my symptoms. My family doctor, asked me to repeat my thyroid test, which I did today because it was borderline 2 months ago. Dr. Wharton said as of the tests I did for his work up, I was very high for "THS"(thyroid stimulating hormone) and to have my family doctor forward the results of the blood tests from today to his office.
There is also the fertility doctor, also checking my thyroid and I will have my follow up with her tomorrow, so there will be a third doctor checking into it. I feel like there is a race to see who diagnoses and treats me first. I don't care who wins, I just want to start growing my hair back!!!
And lastly, I also met with the therapist, she congratulated me for feeling "back on my feet" but I will see her once more at the end of the month, after all the results are in and any medications are worked out. Especially the cipralex, which I am almost off of...one more week taking 5mg every other day.
Feeling good...Busy but good.
