I have Hashimotos Thyroidits autoimmune disorder/disease.
Yeah its a mouthful haha.
Basically it means my immune system is attacking my thyroid. Which is causing it to go hyper and hypo ( hense the hypo symptoms and hyper numbers)
My antibodies should be between 0 and 35. They were over 300.
We are retesting in 6 weeks ( puts me over one year post partum) to see if it can even itself out ( not be related to having a baby) or not. Then we treat what we can.
In the meantime, zoloft is doing great at managing a good chunk of the symptoms. im more energetic, and it helps manage my growing panic attacks. I even let conner have a sleepover at someone elses house ( he did great lol) AND i drove 45 miles to Eagle River to see a friend. Without panicking on the drive. Although i did get nervous and had adrenaline spikes driving through the busy part of town. I was lucky it was in the middle of the day so traffic is calmer. Then we took the back highway home so i avoided the worst of the rush hour drive home traffic too. Which helps. The only thing that sucks is its such a long drive!
So at least i know what is wrong with me. Thats good news. And after my next blood draws i can start treating it, for now the drs agree not to do anything that can effect the way my body is working. No new vitamins, no new diet, no new herbs or oils or anything. They dont want ANYTHING to sway those numbers. They need my body as it has been to see if there is a change. We are establishing a baseline.
We had two birthdays this week. Conner turned 8 and Logan turned 4. Conner got a quad copter. Logan got a racecar, a dinosaur and a rubber duck. He picked out his own gifts. I may make that a tradition. They get to go and pick out a gift they want. We are already doing ice cream cakes they design themselves for their birthdays. And Conners friends mom works at coldstone, so she told me to to come in and design the cakes there, They will do extra for us. Tee hee. Kids love that! B got his big boy quad copter. 1 hour of charging for 8 minutes of flying. Sigh. Ordering extra batteries NOW. What a pain you know lol. He loves that. Next up is… Audra.... Next month. Ill cry. Shes starting to walk. Im crying anyway. My last baby is ttrying so hard to be a big girl. God she completes me. She really does. There is nothing better then curling around my little girl while we nurse. And she holds my hair and shirt. Then throws herself at me when she sees me, the sunshine of the world lights up her face. Its hard to explain. I love and adore my boys. Im bonded with them. But Audra, she was everything i was waiting for. And i dont miss a minute of it. My work has taken a back burner, the housework has gone to hell lol. Just that we can watch her doing things. You dont know how much you wanted it, i mean you really dont, then you get it. And even though you wanted that… you realize what you were missing. And you didnt even KNOW. Shes that filling of the hole. And soon enough she may be her daddies girl. And thats ok too. Because this time is mine. ( and logans because he loves to cuddle lol) Im going to miss this.
We are SO busy. SO SO busy. Monday i saw my dr. Tuesday errands, wed errands, Thurs we went to Eagle River, Today B sees the derm for his warts. This weekend we are planning a dump run, and a walk. jeri wants to go fishing. We do something every day. Never relaxing. Well thats what this morning is. Knitting fox tails and relaxing. Preparing for my HUGE craft show. Please dear god let me have enough stuff! Shit im nervous. ok i gotta go, going back to work.
