Today I start on the new dose of thyroid medication. It’ll take a while to show any effect, though. Probably at least 10 days. Maybe as much as 3-4 weeks. But it’s a start! I also saw that naturopathic doc at the local health food store and he recommended an adrenal support, a thyroid glandular and a thyroid nutrient for my thyroid plus extra folic acid and betacarotene for the cervical dysplasia. He also said he could treat the cervical dysplasia (no guarantees, of course) with the folate, betacarotene, and herbal suppositories based on what my lab reports showed. Don’t have the money for that since insurance doesn’t cover it. So I’ve started taking the folate and betacarotene and I have my biopsy this Friday. It was supposed to be last Wednesday but they called less than two hours before to tell me it had to be cancelled. The doc was called in for an emergency C-section. I hate it when that happens but I guess it’s inevitable. At least at this medical group.

I’ve started taking the adrenal support already but never settled on a thyroid nutrient or thyroid glandular when I was at the health food store and just haven’t gotten back there to choose. At this point, I think I may wait until I see how the increased dose of the thyroid meds affect me before I spend more money on supplements. Hopefully it’ll help with the sleep issues. Cross your fingers for me! I’m hopeful that some of these changes will help my body to heal in all the ways it needs to.
