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.

Glad you got in and out of there, smonster- did you go to the place on Magazine Street? I really like them there.

That's the one! They had me on file from my eye incident back two years ago when I was visiting y'all.

Nowadays I think they recommend that they run T3 and T4 in addition to TSH to get a better picture than TSH alone, but I don't know that all doctors are on board with that yet.

Just went to pick up some Chinese food for dinner, and ended up in the background of a newscast. Ugh. What is there to broadcast here now? Here's where the preliminary hearing is going to be next week? Nothing's happening here, other than reporters.

Also, I keep getting confused when I enter or leave the house and try to either get my keys from or put my keys on the table and then remember that the table is in my bedroom now. Really need to get this fixed before it drives me insane. (I get kind of weird about furniture type stuff. I put things where I want them, and I put them there for a reason, and them not being there makes me antsy.)

I always get all 3 done. And, occassionally get thyroglobulin markers done but that's for something different.

I've heard this, but I feel weird asking my doctors "OMG, but WHICH thyroid tests are you going to run?!?"

Yay for getting some meds, smonster! Yay for urgent care.

I had the interview...not sure how they felt about me. Not sure how I felt about them. So hard to make a big decision like that based on a few hours of info! Eek. I think the guy I liked best was apparently looked down on by the others (though he's the head of his department, it's not the one I'd be in). He was pretty chill. :)

The people running the Christmas stuff here really ought to move Santa's house to somewhere other than right in front of the courthouse. All the news reports about Sandusky's trial have Santa's house in the background, and it's just ridiculous.

meara, my endo told me that whether or not you are on birth control changes which T3 test to order (free vs total), so you could maybe use that as an in for asking about all the flavors of thyroid testing.
