Dear thyroid. Thank you for responding to the meds. Arguably, you've responded a little too well, so we're cutting the dose in half to a miniscule 2 1/2 grams per day. Please find a happy medium between being over- and underactive. While I feel much better now, I didn't like the number on the doctor's scale this morning. I can blame the wool sweater and boots, but it still appears you've made me pack on a few pounds. On a more positive note, I like that my BP was 106/60 and that my sitting-in-a-chair-not-quite-resting heartrate was down 18 beats to 62. I can only assume that my truly resting HR is in the 50s (although I plan to measure it this weekend). That's more like it. Now I can start running again and hit some harder MTB trails! Woot!
