Wednesday Update

Had more blood work done today--the last tests I'll be able to run under my current insurance. It's been a month since I started the new compounded T3/T4 thyroid medication and the sex hormone lotion stuff. Definitely starting to feel my libido coming back online which is nice! I...kinda hope the thyroid meds aren't making a difference, though, because they're $40/mo as opposed to the plain old Levothyroxine which is $2.50/mo.

I'm kinda brain dead today. Haven't been sleeping all that great. Five 4am mornings in a row, but at least I'm not crushingly fatigued like I would've been in the past. I'm not useless, just...disinclined to do much of anything. I took the whole day off work so at least I have the option to do exactly that!

ETA: I got another grad student to watch Guardian (this is the second!) and she just emailed me with the subject line SHEN WEI IS THE BLACK-CLOAKED ENVOY??? I'm really enjoying getting people into this show.

LOL! Truly, you are doing the good work. :-) Keep it up!!

SHEN WEI IS THE BLACK-CLOAKED ENVOY???

This is actually really interesting to me - I thought it was so obvious from the start that it never even occurred to me to wonder if it was meant as a reveal. Evidently so!

I feel you re med costs. I am on two antidepressants and still struggling so we tried raising the dose of first one and then the other. One's an old drug and I'm on the generic and it's free. The other is a new fancy drug that costs $40 a pill (with insurance, it goes down to $75 a month). Guess which drug I responded to?

Well done on getting more people suckered in! (I feel her, I was not one of those people who knew right away!!)

(Argh, medication & insurance stress. >.<)
