Previously on Lost... Last time I went to the doctor, I was in a bad place. Just got back from trial. My grandmother was moving to hospice care. The doctor told me we would have to break up if I didn't stop putting myself under so much stress.
So, I've been doing my reading and trying to act in the best interests of me and my health. I have followed that stupid yeast detox diet. I am feeling better from that, although i'm getting pissed off at how much of my food comes with sweetener. [HEY, HUMMUS ASSHOLES, HUMMUS DOESN'T NEED HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. YOU RUINED MY LUNCH. I HAD TO EAT PLAIN RICE CAKES THAT DAY. I WILL NEVER BUY YOUR BRAND AGAIN.]
Since December, I've also been on thyroid medication again. A different type. A mix of T3/T4 (sorry if this is technical for the non FFC folks). I have steadily improved. I feel better. I believe that the new thyroid meds, the anti-yeast diet and the removal of certain hormones (sorry, but that's a reference to the lady business bit that shames my husband - yup, the IUD) have made a big difference.
Before my appointment, i had blood work done. The magic blood lady got blood to come out of my veins and my labs showed positive results. I'm actually improving on just about everything. It's not quite perfect yet, but it's improving. For a long time, it seemed to be going downhill. I am really happy with these results. I'm almost not anemic anymore! My thyroid is almost functioning like it should! My dhea and pregnenalone are actually absorbing!
I still have to kick the Epstein Barr's ass, and I will get to that. First, I want my other stuff in order and then I will deal with the virus. I believe that my former doctor rushed my treatment and tried to do too many things at once. (including the whole hormone replacement therapy that I didn't need.) Things have gotten a lot better with Dr. Garcia. It's nice to feel positive about my health. Yay.
