Hey, I tried. Can't seem to get it fixed.You'll have to settle for email.
I'm terrible at that. Don't forget - I can IM now too. Well, I think I can. 
I'll have to get your email address.I should probably check my emails, eh?
Honu, I'll take as many pics as I can. I think today's the last day we can bring cameras because it's still a practice round. Although I think there's a skins game today too.
Catch y'all later.
More high test results again sooooooo yeah. Hopefully it'll be on to the next surgery soon. The funky chicken smell/taste is back so it sounds like my sinus infection isn't gone so we're on our 3rd antibiotic, Avelox. I get to have a camera shoved up my nose on Monday. Happy Birthday to you! Here's a camera!
I know. We're a bunch of stupid rubes, right?
I hope so, too. She's a Christian (I think. She works at Christian Family Care) and is an ARNP so I'm hoping she'll listen. The lab still uses 5 as their cut off level, still not changing it to 2-3 like the AACE recommends.

Exactly. That must be why my doctor trusts me to get my own results and interpret them. OK, looking at that, it probably sounds pretty weird.He does go over my results during appointments, but in the meantime, I can look at my results on a day to day basis and I know enough to see when I need to test or not.

I hope so! I'm going to take the AACE papers into her at my appt. I'm also considering calling her and asking her if she goes by ref range from lab or if she'd go by AACE.
My appointment's Monday. I wish it was today! I want to hurry up and find out.
I think so too. I don't like medical professionals that think they know your body better than you do.
Hey, maybe this time they'll avoid your nose and shave your head!

That's a good idea! Definitely take info with you. If you have any old lab work, I'd bring that too. That way they can see "trends" or what's been happening in your body.

Good luck!

That drives me nuts, when they try to tell me what I'm feeling. No dude, I actually live in this body, I know the pain I'm in.
. (The doctor gave my Synthroid.) I had to go in for an appt for something else recently, and the doctor sent me in for a blood test right after my appt. Weird thing is that all my blood levels came out normal despite not taking my meds like I should. Part of me wonders if it had to do with having a baby, not eating well, not sleeping well , when I was diagnosed. I don't know. I am switching doctors anyhow, so I may have him check again. Well, I can tell you I'm not having the most exciting Saturday night... but that's OK 'cause I'm going to bed soon.
So, an update for everyone on my health. My IGF-1 came back really low, and that's potentially a measure of how much growth hormone I'm making/not making, so I have to go have a growth hormone stimulation test done to see if I'm making enough.
Got 3 tests back that pretty much show that the monster in my head is still there rearing it's ugly head. Which honestly, doesn't really bother me. It confirms what my intuition was saying all along. So in a way, it was kind of a comfort in some ways to know. It means some not so easy decisions are coming down the pike in the next few months, but we'll get through it.
And you could wear funky wigs!
Let's hope she's right!
and prayers
that's enough to put you in a fog right there!
