Just be
I can breathe through my nose, my headache has lessened, and I have a productive cough, so hurray for the allergens clearing out of my system and hurray for mega-doses of antihistamines on top of the NMT treatment last week. Eyes are still itchy, and I am very tired. I need to remember to take allergy medication whether I think I need it or not starting a week before KCRF next year. Can someone please remind me? This is ass.
How swollen are my sinuses? We did tons of supported inverted poses in yoga last night and that was great for getting blood moving around that area, but it resulted in a few tiny popped capillaries on my face, right at the sinus pressure point on my right cheekbone. That's awesome. Thank god for foundation make-up.
I had my discussion with Dr. Burt about my lab results yesterday. Thyroid numbers were bad, bad, bad. So bad that even though I feel great on this dosage, I can't stay on it. I'm over-medicated to the point that my thyroid is basically just lying there, not producing anything on its own. I'm not certain why that is a bad thing, but apparently it is. So, down to a 75mg dose of the Armour--which of course, they don't make. So I have to take a 60mg and a 15mg tablet. This is, of course, more expensive than taking three 30mg tablets (90mg) every day.
Adding insult to injury, Dr. Burt was nearly forty-five minutes late seeing me. Then it took forever to hash out a course of action that I was comfortable accepting. My appointment was at 12:15, which should have given me plenty of time to meet with him, get home, and be at work by 1:00. I didn't get home from his office until nearly 2:00, and then I had to go wrangle with the pharmacy (once I pick up today's prescriptions, I am never using Watkin's pharmacy ever again). I called the office to tell them I wouldn't be going in at all that day, collapsed on the couch, and coughed for an hour while I tried to nap.
But now, I offer you some whine-free news!
Phil at Wild Man Vintage said he'd like to put my stuff up for sale. Bloomer and petticoat production will start in earnest as soon as my Cheeptrims order arrives. I'm looking forward to lots of sewing time.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
apocalypticbob mentioned how she'd recently indulged in some solitary time and I was all Dear God Yes. I wouldn't want to do it for a living, but I love the quiet focus and mindfulness I can achieve when working on a non-deadline sewing project. Much like when I'm dancing (and sometimes when I'm cooking), I feel like I am very present when sewing. It's a good feeling.
Our dishwasher is fixed. I think. I hope. It's been nearly a month since we've been able to use it, and that sucked major donkey balls. I am terribly spoiled and did not appreciate having to hand wash dishes. Especially during KCRF. Ugh. I ran it last night, though, and no problems.
Life withmckitterick continues to be awesome. He's very patient with my whining and my temper. And more patient with my incontinent cat than I am. Love.

I'm sorry about your sinus and thyroid, but yay for sewing and boys!

I approve of this comic strip. <3 x 2!
That damned well bites on the numbers for the thyroid. Time to research some more what's up with that, right?
no subject
I suppose. I am bored sick of researching my own health problems at this point.

Aw hun, I can understand that.

Would you believe more problems at the pharmacy yesterday? I still don't have my allergy medicine.

I'm sure you are very tired of researching your health issues. I feel like that with some of my health issues too, feeling like I've tried everything, and nothing makes much difference in the end.
That sucks you had to wait so long at the doctor!

I think I'm just...done with it. Done. If this lowered dose doesn't give me acceptable numbers, I'm thinking about just not taking the stuff anymore. I know the things to watch for regarding total thyroid shut-down. If those happen, I'll go back to the doctor. But really, I'm at the end of my rope here and I just don't care anymore. Blah!
My biggest successes with health improvements have been with NMT (allergies) and acupuncture (G.I. issues). Perhaps I should start focusing on using alternative therapy for thyroid issues now, too.
This should totally be a visual journal entry but I don't have time to make one right now. Ha!
