Perhaps you're not panicky b/c you've actively participated in the week so far. Today started my week really. I went back to work after having unexpected (but normal, I'm told) side-effects from the Thyrogen Injections.
I was so excited to get back to work and take my mind off of everything, but am still having pain in my joints. Needless to say, I was ready to leave at the end of the day.
My normal-but-unexpected side-effects: blurry vision, sick stomach, MAJOR SLEEPINESS, joint pain, muscle aches. So, the best part is joint pain. When you TALK non-stop for 8 hours a day, having a sore jaw is not cool. Other than that, today was much much better than Monday & Tuesday. I mostly slept when I stayed home. I really barely moved b/c I felt so dizzy and discusting. That kind of drives me insane. I hate missing work.
Even though I was sidelined for a minute, I am grateful that I was able to opt for Thyrogen. The alternative is coming off of my meds for two weeks (full withdrawl) and that would be horrifying. Me after missing my medicine for 1 day = possible cameo on the 6 o'clock news. Choose your own adventure depending on the hormone mix: total chaos and hurt feelings for everyone crossing my path or menopausal meltdown before noon. :)
Next step is labs on Friday and waiting to hear back. As soon as this week is behind me, it's all downhill from here!!! I hope to try to workout late this week or early next week and get back on a normal schedule. I have lots of fun training coming up before I get ready to head to FL and don't want to miss a thing at work or at home. Yay!
