Such is life.. thyroid blues, sore throat, and medication decision???
Hello everyone!!! I hope everyone in blog world is doing good!!!! Well I tried my best to not overeat this week since it was birthday... I could have done better, but I could have done worse ha ha!!!! I ended up getting a sore throat/cold or whatever it is so my workout routine this week went down the drain :( I did take my dogs for a walk though on Thursday and this morning so I guess a little exercise is better then no exercise. I am hoping that this cold go away soon, because I really want to get back on track this week!!!! I have no excuses!!! It is also nice that the wheather here in San Antonio seems to be cooling down a couple of degrees!!!! I don't know why lately I have been thinking about not having a thyroid so much. I guess it's because my one year anniversary of having it removed is coming up next week. It just strange how sometimes things repeat themselves. Last year around this time I got sick, and it was right before my surgery so I was all stressed out about if my surgery was going to have to be postponed or not. This year, I guess all those memories resurfaced because.. I got a cold and it just made me thing of everything. I guess it's part of being human, but I hate when I start feeling sorry for myself. I also am trying to decide if I should switch the medication on I am on.. I told my doctor that sometimes the Synthroid makes my stomach upset.. So he told me I could try Levoxyl because it doesn't have lactose.. Well, I am hesitant because other then having some stomach troubles I have been feeling pretty good on the Synthroid.. I guess I just don't want to try the Levoxyl and then go back to that place where I feel like I am struggling with feeling "normal" .. but I have been told it's the same medication just diffrent fillers.. So I have maybe about 7 more pills of synthroid before I need to make a decision!!!! Ugh.. I hate making decisions and not know what the outcome will be, especially when it has to do with how you feel..

I wonder how many mmg of Synthroid you are taking? fortunately i haven't noticed any upset stomachs...suggestion..drink a lot of water when you take it or throughout the day!
ReplyDeleteI am currently taking .137 mcg of Synthroid or 1.37 mg. The upset stomach thing usually occurs when the increase my dosage or something like my body has to readjust, but once I adjust I don't seem to have as many problems. Yes, I have noticed that when I drink lots of water my stomach tends to not act up as much. I do need to be better about drinking more water though. I am thinking that I am kind of chicken to try a diffrent brand so I may just stick with the Synthroid unless I get daring!!! I think for me it may be because I have often wonderd if I have issues with lactose and Synthroid has lactose in it whereas the Levoxyl does not. However, if I do have issues with lactose it surely hasn't stopped me from eating cheese ha ha!!!
