Dare I hope?
Is the thyroid medication from Thailand working better than the U.S. made thyroid medications?
The numbers on the scale are coming down AND my period actually started on time this month!! That's a good start. Hope the good news keeps coming!
My stepdaughter's ferritin is on the low end of the "normal" range and she's experiencing anxiety, etc. Her mother doesn't believe her ferritin could be causing any symptoms so she put her on Prozac instead. That was really sad. Would it have hurt to give her iron for a few months to see how it may have helped before drugging her?
Some of her other levels show other problems as well being in the very low of the "normal" range and some actually off - bilirubin, sodium, chloride, etc. Bilirubin in liver, right? I don't know what it means. I guess I shouldn't be stressing myself too much because it's not like my opinion means anything but I KNOW what low ferritin can do (I struggle with it myself) and it's sad that Prozac was given instead first. Giving Prozac to a teenager for something that an Iron pill might help? Wrong in my opinion.
My husband is starting a small hobby/business. I don't call it a straight up business because he's not actually going to make money off it. He'll make enough to cover his materials. He's doing it because it's something he enjoys.
I think this hobby/business is a stress reliever for him. We all need those!
I'm a little worried about health insurance changes if we do relocate for a different job. I know what my insurance covers now and what I need it to cover for my thyroid disease treatment. We have adequate coverage - not the best but not the worst. What if the next employer's insurance isn't as good? Then again, it could be better. I will have to search online and look it up once I get specifics. I have to google NC health insurance and see what options are available for a relative who moved to NC as well. I keep forgetting.
Read more...We are considering looking at an old farmhouse to buy if we end up relocating. It has four acres and they just reduced the price on it. Unfortunately, it needs a lot of updating. There's also probably lead paint under the paint layers somewhere so I need to get a lead test kit. I want one that is EPA approved. The picture looks like there is a pool on the property so we'll need a swimming pool alarm too. I want to make sure my kids stay safe no matter where we live. I'm extra cautious about my kids' safety. Becoming a mom made me more neurotic than I already was - my poor, overprotected kids.
