Endo Visit

Well apparently I should have had my thyroid and pituitary glands checked YEARS ago because my TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) was high, indicating an underacting thyroid. I told him that my Free T4 was always normal, so I was told that meant that the abnormal TSH levels were just because of my birth control pills.  He said that was untrue. The pattern was consistent with autoimmune thyroid disease (like Hashimoto thyroiditis)...LOVELY! It would be an easy fix, actually...just one little pill a day and I would feel better...can you imagine?!?  All these years and just one freaking pill and NOTHING...NO SYMPTOMS!  He also said that if this test comes back normal then he doesn't know what is wrong with me and that I should just start lowering my prednisone slowly, and that he would help me along with my doctors here.  FAB...

HOPE HOPE HOPE these tests come back with something!
