Saw my GP today for a wellness exam. she was very thorough. will draw more labs and then decide if i will change meds or just add synthroid. I am thinking I have never tried tegretol before.
synthoid has to be taken empty stomach then can't eat or drink anything for an hour which would suck. I would rather not take it.

I'd research tegretol then. I mainly know it for seizures. I hope you can figure it out

I saw my GP today. liked her.
She wants to retest the TSH in a couple of weeks. I am hoping that I can quit drinking by then to see if that is what affected my thyroid.
I really don't want to be taking the thyroxine...one hour before eating or drinking....that would not be easy on me.
I am looking into tegretol, that is what she suggested the lamictal stopped working and that is why we switched to lithium in the first place.
I have not been happy on the lithium....don't want to constantly worry about my kidneys. I had stopped all of the calcium supplements and now magnesium ones too. due to elevated blood calcium. which is now normal. my vitamin d is low 37, for some reason she wants me to double it and take 10,000 units a day. for 2 months then go back to 5,000/day.

wonder why my d is low. I usually run 50-60??????
She is not happy with my total cholesterol 280 but that is because my hdl is 115. my ldl was higher too so she wants to recheck that is 6 months.
She did the kind of pap where you only have to have it done every 5 years so that is good. It hurts when she did it. ouch!
later this evening I sent a message via the on line portal Thanking her for our visit and her answering my concerns. and then I asked if she would prescribe klonipin .5mg because I was having a hard time sleeping.
will see what she has to say.

that sounds great. I take a lot of magnesium and have been neglecting vitamin D. Is the ex lax still working?

I cheated and took 1mg of klonipin to sleep

and did not take the 2 kinds of melatonin nor the hydroxyzine.
1 pill verse 7 pills. But it is unethical to take the klonipin.....I have that stashed for emergency purposes stock piled from 2 years ago.

I only have so many left.

But I sleep so good on it (and I did for years!!!!!)!!!!!!!!! I wish pdoc would still let me take it again. I am really mad that she wont let me have it anymore. grrrr!

I was going to try getting CBD but they took the tinctures off the shelves at Sandras health food store due to labeling issues and I don;t trust the gas station sellers.
I just ordered anxiocalm it is supposed to be a good anti anxiety supplement. Don't know how long it will take to come in.

So we shall see.
I would really hate to have to spend hundreds of dollars to get klonipin over seas. I have to sleep.

Hi,

These could be the reason for low vit D:

not enough sun
milk allergies,
a strict vegan diet.

=-=-=-=-

Vitamin D is produced by the body in response to skin being exposed to sunlight. It is also occurs naturally in a few foods -- including
some fish, fish liver oils, and egg yolks -- and in fortified dairy and grain products.

Good luck to you.


I Periodically take a few D pills from Solgar. -- often when I remember to take my fish oil.
