Sigh. Latest bloodwork still shows that I'm hyper. I was hoping that when I went off Synthroid, that my TSH would go back up. My new doc is steering me toward RAI/ablation. I don't know how I feel about that. On one hand, I haven't yet has good luck with Methimazole in that it put me into a hypo state no matter the dose. On the other hand, ablation seems so permanent. I know that thyroid eye disease (which I have not yet been diagnoses with) can get worse after ablation. I haven't actually talked to the doc yet, so nothing is set in stone. I still feel so lost as far as really trusting my docs. I have only met the new one once, and don't know that I feel confident enough in her to destroy an organ based on the strength of her advice.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
