Don't Borrow Worry From Tomorrow...

I finally talked to Cool Acupuncture Guy today about my crazy hyperthyroid status.

He is so chill about everything.

Me: "We're finally talking in person!"

CAG: "It's a miracle!"

Me: "I know..."

CAG: "Well, what's going on with your thyroid?"
Me: "Well, after I saw you last week I went to the Physician's Assistant and got my TSH checked...and it was super low (which means my thyroid hormones are super high...it's opposite and confusing), which is no surprise because I felt it. The PA told me to stop taking anything for my thyroid at all for at least two days. I haven't taken anything for a week...I was just wondering what your recommendations were. I feel fine; I haven't had any trouble falling asleep...? I'm still taking the ClearVite though."

CAG: "You say you feel fine?"

Me: "Right now, yeah..."

CAG: "Well, I think that your immune system will start to calm down, if you stay on the right diet and keep taking ClearVite. It will calm down and then you'll probably go a little hypothyroid, and when you do, you can call me and we'll decide what to do. But then after awhile I think your body will realize that it's hypo and it will correct itself."

Me: "When I do start taking Thyroxal can I take less...?"

CAG: "Yes, sure, it just depends on your symptoms. Your body doesn't need Thyroxal right now."

Me: "Right. It certainly was effective though. Okay, thank you!"

It was very reassuring. Whereas the P.A. just told me I could maybe pass out and looked all worried, the CAG was really chill, which is helpful to me. I am the type of person who needs someone to just answer "Yes, it's going to be fine," when I need them to. :)

Right now, my leg keeps on twitching (a hyperthyroid symptom?) but my arthritis is starting back up (a hypothyroid symptom?) so I guess I'll just wait and see what the heck happens.
