Took first synthroid pill this morning. Just now. Wait an hour before can eat anything - two hours before can take any dairy or calcium. For heaven's sake! How do I drink my coffee then? When I go to work again, I have to set aside TWO hours in the morning before I can eat or drink breakfast or anything? Whaaaaa????
This will take some arrangement.
Had enough with the fact the hospital or Drs. forgot to give me the script for the synthroid Saturday when I was discharged. So, had three days before even started the script. Wondered why was more down and dizzy and generally out of it yesterday. Surgical knee was even bothering me. Seems like it has gone backwards already from not using so much. Was tingling and then numb some around knee itself. Felt weak. Need to get back on bike even if just for a little. Keep the knee working. Do NOT want to loose what I gained so far! Then, to find that I WAS to take the meds all along. Well, they say it is ok. My jaw has been clenched too much lately - just waiting to see what body will do next.
Read in my book about this medication will take every day the rest of my life. Man, reading it, this time, made me more paranoid and worried than the whole last month that started this! The whole journey, mostly women, have made in getting their hormone levels adjusted sounded terrible. And the idea of jumpstarting my hormones immediately to the max amount sounds, scary at best.
But then talked to a friend who has been on this stuff for years and it does not seem so bad. I hope and intend it to work fine. Figure with NO thyroid pushing any hormone into system at all, then taking the max is the normal, basically. As long as my system can take the sudden change.
Today will go to grocery store with P and then the other P will come over at dinner to give me carrot soup! Yum. The thought of two social interactions in one day is rather daunting right now, but I can handle it! It was difficult to call H to get a ride to drugstore to get the meds today. Do not even want to go out of door or talk on phone let alone go out into that world of buying and selling out there!
