[healthwork] nope, fuck this

[kaberett]

I talked recently about decreasing my levothyroxine dosage. Since I made that post, my digestive system has really unambiguously started slowing down again, the nosebleeds have gone from "multiple dried clots when I blow my nose" to "nontrivial quantities of fresh blood when I blow my nose", my sleep needs have continued increasing markedly, and my productivity has absolutely tanked because I just do. not. have. the. focus. despite clear straightforward next steps. (Executive dysfunction is normal for me! Spending the better part of a week failing to open a damn PDF I know the location of is... not.)

I... am unlikely to make it back in to see my preferred local GP until, honestly, early March at this point. I could book a phone appointment with preferred-out-of-area well-trained GP (who first suggested hypothyroidism), but it would be a bit unfair to dump this on him when he hasn't seen the most recent blood results and I have no straightforward way to get them to him.

So I... think what I do is put myself back up to 75mg daily (from 75/50 alternating), watch the symptoms subside, and then go park myself back in a GP's office and say "so I've done this, and you're not going to get me to stop without an endocrinology referral."

I am so fucking bored of this.
