Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Surgery~ma, Morgana!
May your back fix itself quickly, smonster.

Interview/right-thing-happening~ma for meara.
I just heard back from the doctor wrt the results of my latest round of thyroid testing - he's recommending doubling the current dosage of meds. I guess if what I'm on can make me tired when I'm supposed to be tired - enough to actually get to sleep - twice as much might possibly make me feel somewhat more energetic when I'm supposed to be awake. I hope.
I'll probably spend the rest of my life wondering why it takes 20 seconds to find a doctor to prescribe appetite suppressants chemically related to amphetamines, but 20 years to find a doctor who thinks it is rational to test thyroid function by testing thyroid function.

Appropriate ~ma to meara, erika, and Morgana.
WindSparrow, I am so angry on your behalf.
Nora, none left, I don't think. I have my 1st appt with a psychiatrist today, but I'm guessing asking for a side of Flexeril wouldn't go well. I took a hot bath, and managed to pop it back in with a belly dance move, but it's gotten worse today. Can't twist at all. So I may be headed to urgent care after my psych appt. Yayes.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
WS: I'm glad you have a doc who is doing the correct testing on you. I will say, based on my experience, you will be adjusting your thyroid meds for the rest of your life. It took a good year for me to get to the right dose and I get little tweaks every 6-12 months.

My experience has been the same. My thyroid meds get tweaked every few years, not every few months, but they get tweaked regularly.
but 20 years to find a doctor who thinks it is rational to test thyroid function by testing thyroid function.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. I thought the standard test for thyroid function is to test TSH. Often when you test the thyroid directly you get results in the normal range when in fact TSH is working way too hard to keep the thyroid functioning.

At urgent care. Fingers crossed I get out in time to make my 4 pm psych appt.

Out of urgent care, and hella early for psych appt. I pulled a back muscle, shocker. Gave me naproxen with magnesium and scripts for Flexeril and Tylenol codeine (precioussss). Now, about getting back into yoga... Doc was funny and kind of cute, but straight I think. My BP was 98/50, even after two cups of coffee, one of hot chocolate, and just having smoked a cigarette. The nurse who took my vitals asked if I was a marathon runner. AHAHA no.
Bad news is I can't lift anything over 5 lbs for a week. Good news is that we just finished a big project today and I was going to be in the office until Xmas anyway.
