Whoopsie Gravy!

i mean, i'm certainly not completely asymptomatic, and my tsh isn't low enough to be optimal. (i'm down to 3.16, which is within the "normal" range of <4.2 and a massive decrease compared to where i was before, but apparently <2.5 is the ideal, and people on reddit report feeling best around 1.0 or so.) but i'm definitely feeling better overall!

i also had my tpo tested for the first time, and it was (unsurprisingly) confirmed to be high. so my my doctor said my thyroid is probably gonna continue being shitty forever, and i'm gonna need to monitor it for the rest of my life so my medication dosage can be adjusted as needed. which wouldn't be a huge deal if i lived in a civilized country, but i'm usamerican, so having a blood test and telemedicine appointment every six months is gonna cost me at least $400 a year after insurance. yayyyyyy. 🙃
