Too Low

I noticed that Wednesdays were not good days for me.  I was tired on that day.  Sometimes grumpy.  Sometimes it would be Tuesday along with Wednesday or Thursday with Wednesday.

Levothyroxine comes in set doses.  And cutting the pill doesn’t guarantee that I’ll get 12.5 from each half.  There’s also been at least one study testing taking the whole 7 day dose in 1 day.  I was on 150 after my surgery, got put on 175 for 4 days and 150 for 3.

That’s when Blah Wednesday kicked in.

Got my blood checked last week and my TSH is at .243.  It shouldn’t be any lower than .4.  So oopsie!

Now I’ll be on 150 for 5 days and 175 on Monday and Friday.  Get retested in 2 months.

In the middle of dealing with the BW’s (Blah Wednesday) I switched from Citalopram to Effexor.  I like that I can take it in the morning and it doesn’t make me tired.  The week that I started taking Effexor I lost 2 pounds.

I’m now down to 194.4 ish.  I don’t really have any interest in dinner.  So I’ll usually only do veggies for that meal.  Which means I have extra NutriSystem meals - I’ll end up using them for my lunches and I can delay my monthly shipment.  Though sometimes I skip lunch - I’m just not hungry.

So 2 months and another test. Hopefully, this will be it for changing my levo dose.
