the llmd is the one that put me on armour and after reading about concerns with staying on low dose thyroid med i started wondering what is her experience with treating thyroid.
i felt very good about my first apponitment with llmd, that she was knowledgeable, did not dismiss my symps like past drs but i just feel less confident the more time that passes and i feel once again a dr has just left me on my own. ive spent years seeing drs with no sense of urgency about my health and complying with their tests, potions and apothecary, and waiting months between visits. i just wish the drs i had seen in years past i would not have wasted so much time and money trusting they would help me figure out what was wrong and have a plan to regain my health and life.
Now i feel so jaded it is hard when I dont seem to be progressing as fast as I want to not lose faith in a dr I barely know. I know that I have had some better days since my first visit with her I just dont have any confidence on whether the improvement was due to the treatment or just another recovery with a relapse waiting to hit me around the corner. I see so many bodily systems no longer functioning properly and I cant help but blame the lyme & co and stew over the fact if it had been diagnosed properly earlier I would not be dealing with all this.
I think I am just getting anxious with the visit coming and the way the last couple of weeks have been, had to cancel some appointments, worried I will not be able to drive and it would take a long time to get back in to see her. She had already been on two vacations since I say her first. I havent been on a vacation since 2004 - oh yea that is when I believe I got infected wih lyme and co. Im just grumpy and feel hot which makes me feel grumpy ;-)
Sorry Im just venting and getting OT. BTW, just took my temp
98.0 - mercury
98.2 - digitial1
97.9 - digital2
My temp does seem to be trending up, that has to be good. A month ago I had a low of 95.9, that one shocked me cause I always thought I stayed mostly in the 97.4-97.6 range. Should be interesting to chart the temps I have recorded.
