Insomnia

My lovely doctor called this morning and I told her about this weekend, how I woke up at 11:30 on Saturday night with my heartbeat so slow that I couldn't move my body and I was swirling in and out of consciousness. Low calcium, I told her, it's gotta be. I've been feeling numbness and tingling in my hands and feet all week. The last time I had hypotension like that was right after my thyroidectomy and I had to be put on a calcium drip for four days to get my levels up.

She mentioned that my thyroid levels were pretty good, TSH is at a 0.39 or something, which is still pretty hyper, but my thyroglobulin antibodies look nice and low. Oh, I think I can post a screenshot of my results; the power of technology!



She wants me to do thyrogen shots soon and most likely another WBS. Blech.

I'm still feeling off. Napped for two hours today so of course it's nearly midnight and I can't sleep. Hands and feet are quite numb. Heart seems okay.

Medicine: 100mg Synthroid, 7.5mcg Cytomel, calcium, iron, vitamin D.
