Mostly lurking...

Oh, Hil. I'm so sorry. I'm really glad you're seeing another doctor, though, this is so frustrating. You know yourself best, though. Keep fighting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's incredibly aggravating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad you have another doctor to see, Hil. Ugh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm seeing another doctor next week.

Good. I think your numbers may well be in the marginal zone, but I definitely know that some doctors treat in the TSH 5-10 zone. It's called subclinical hypothyroidism.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Huh. I was just looking a bit more closely at some of my blood tests. My TIBC level is consistently a bit above normal. However, my iron level is consitently toward the high end of normal. The internet tells me nothing about this. High TIBC plus low iron means anemia, but high TIBC and high iron doesn't seem to exist to the internet. I guess that, since no doctor every told me it was a problem (and since I'm a vegetarian, they always check my iron), I'll figure it's OK.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I have done virtually no xmas shopping.

Gift cards! Whee!!

I was so proud of myself - I thought I had everything but the wine for my wine-loving uncle purchased and winging its way to me. Got the last package today, which is a book for my mom, and I find out it's a library copy. Said book has been out of print for a while, is one of my mom's favorites, and while I never mind having discarded library books, it's not what I want to give as a gift, you know? GRUMP. (And no, the listing said nothing to that effect.)
