Dum Dum de Dum...

I saw my regular doctor this morning. We talked about this and that. Remarking on my hypothyroid condition, she said "You're so mellow! In the ten years we've known each other, I've never seen you this mellow. It's an interesting change. Kind of fun, really."

My endocrinologist's nurse called. I have to go in at 1:30 for a pregnancy test. I told her I'm on my period right now. (And being hypothyroid makes it extremely heavy, hello anemia on top of the rest.) It's required though, so that's that.

I left a message on Renfroe's machine, telling him that he didn't need to be there, that it was getting all complex and confusing but I'm less freaked out than I thought, so I'll be fine without him... being Renfroe, he ignored that part, said he'd see what he can do, and asked how he should find me when he gets there. Love that man.

Nice thing about being hypothyroid: anxiety doesn't stand a chance. Stuff just slides right off, and within 60 seconds I've forgotten whatever it was that was starting to worry me in the first place.

Interesting thing: even being fully hypothyroid, I'm still a fidgeter. My knees still bounce as I type. I'm one of those people who is hardly ever completely still. Some part of my body is always in motion. Sometimes it's a nervous fidgeting, more often it's just... me.

("Dance around the to bullfrog page" has been added to the list of "things to do when I'm no longer hypothyroid!")

are you sure you're not hyper-thyroid? that usually causes increased nervousness, trouble concentrating, and palpitations.

hypo causes fatigue, decreased cold tolerance, constipation, and dryness of the skin.

Right now, I'm very certainly hypothyroid. :-) You know, since I'm not in possession of a thyroid gland, and have been off my synthetic thyroid pills since June 8th.

Normally, they try to keep me right at "normal" or a touch above "normal" (to suppress any cancer growth). They monitor it regularly by checking my TSH levels.

Hypo or hyper can cause trouble concentrating, but for different reasons. Hyper is like being on speed, hypo is like walking through molasses.

yeah, see that's what i was thinking...that without a thyroid you would be hypo. but the constantly in motion i didn't think jived, heh.

and yeah hyper is like being on speed and hypo, molasses.

Yeah, that was my point, that it's sort of odd to have that "piece of me-ness" survive being hypo. Guess it's pretty damned ingrained, huh?
