These are the results of my TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) for the past 8 months. We want me to be around 2.0. When I was at the 1.36, I was awake 3 out of 7 nights until 3:30am. Now I am way the hell too high. My weight is up, I see muscle mass from my exercise, but when I had my trainer measure body fat and weight on Monday, both were up. This is so frustrating. I want to scream and throw things, but I know better than that.

I emailed my doctor (gotta love it when your 60+ doctor moves to the electronic age) and we are going to change my medications around again. I worry what this is doing to my long term health. I wonder what other hormones are off.

Sigh… This is truly a study in patience.
