Didn't end up recording today, so I put my face on for nothing. Figure I'd at least show you guys why my blog is titled what it is lol

I want to say the messy, smeared look is deliberate, but nah, I'm just kinda shit at makeup. Getting better tho.

And yes, I do wear clown makeup to record a podcast because, as Robert Evans always says, podcasting is a visual medium.

(The straps are to help with my connective tissue disorder)

Just. Doctors. Bloody hell.

I have Hashimotos, which is autoimmune thyroid disease. This means I take levothyroxine to keep my thyroid hormones in the right ranges.

I'm queer. I now take testosterone for my gender hormones. Fun fact. Testosterone increases the conversion of T4 (inactive thyroid hormone) to T3 (active thyroid hormone). As we've increased my testosterone, we've had to decrease my thyroid meds. On the max dose of T, I actually went off my thyroid meds completely. Okay, great.

Well, I recently swapped to injections, so my T dose dropped again. So, we re-ran my thyroid hormones.

TSH: 5.33

Normal range: 0.45 to 4.5

Result from two months ago: 2.33

T4: 1.02

Range: 0.82 to 1.77

Previous result: 1.15

TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. It's actually a pituitary hormone (a gland in your brain) that controls how much T4 your thyroid produces. When it's high, it means your thyroid is under producing, and the brain is saying "work harder" to keep your levels in range.

I finally got a call about my results.

Nurse: "Doctor says your levels are stable. No need to adjust your meds."

Me: "Um, my TSH is too high."

Nurse: "Her notes say it's fine. We'll redo labs in 2 months."

Me: ........... "Uh, sure. Fine."

I have no idea what the damn doctor is smoking, but my TSH more than doubling is not fucking stable. Dear fucking gods.

It's been a hell of a week, which is why I didn't fight it. Also, because I went off my meds for quite a while, I have leftovers and spare scripts that haven't been filled. So I will just go back to self managing my meds until I get into the Endo in August.

(I can figure out if my hormone levels are off by what my resting heart rate is doing. Too much thyroid and my resting HR climbs, and I'll get bouts of what feel like tachycardia {but never register as an elevated HR on the Fitbit} while just lounging around.)
