Hypothyroid

The bloodwork results came back today - how quick was that? They called at 8:30 this morning.

1. My carbamazapine levels are great (TN meds) and dosage is fine - no harm on my liver right now
2. For the thyroid panel results, my free T-4 level is low. I am not entirely sure all the logistics just yet, but it indicated hypothyroid and I will be starting levothyroxine tomorrow. In 6 weeks, I go back for another blood draw to see how the meds are working.

My mom cautioned me that I may feel edgy or hyper at the first few doses and I said GREAT! - I need more energy.

I feel better getting this checked out again. I wonder if the pounds will drop off a little easier now! lol

Til next time.
