It has been a crazy crazy week around here.
Mostly revolving around illness - the Critter's been very sick. Like 3 calls to the on-call doc on a holiday weekend, 105.5 fever and a trip to the ER, nasty rash and super-duper fussy/clingy kind of sick. Needless to say, Easter was cancelled in our world this year. She is finally, just today, acting more like herself. Slept better last night. Still has a cough, but rash/fever is all gone, and cranky almost so. Whew. And yawn.
I also finally had my appointment with the endocrinologist. Who was such a nice, funny guy. We spent an hour talking, getting my history, discussing all sorts of RE stuff, geeking out on some medical research stuff he told me about. I will get all my blood results back tomorrow, but he put me on synthroid, which I began this AM. I go back in 6 weeks for monitoring. He did feel a little bump on my thyroid, so I am getting an ultrasound on my thyroid tomorrow. I'm not too concerned about it at this point, fingers crossed its nothing.
I was in the shower that morning, and was shaving my legs. Which, to be totally honest, doesn't happen much these days. But I was thinking I was going to the doctor, so I better shave my legs. Halfway through the second leg I realized - I don't need to shave my legs for this appointment. I'm not dropping trou for this appointment. How strange is that?? I haven't been to a doctor in YEARS that I didn't drop my pants for. These IF scars, they show up in the funniest of places.
And hot flashes! They're baaaaack! Yup, less than 2 weeks in to the depot loopyron, and I'm already having the damn hot flashes. They aren't too frequent...yet. And to add insult to hot injury, I've basically had my period for the last 2 weeks. I had my normal period, and took the DL shot on CD3. I tapered to spotting, but then CD8, full-on period again. Which is a totally normal side effect of the DL, but damn! I am single-handedly keeping Kotex and Tampax in business.
Anyway, a busy week. I'm ready for life to calm down again.

I'm so sorry that the Critter was so sick. You must have been so worried with a fever that high. Glad she's feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about going to doctors and not having to drop your pants. I think I've seen my primary care maybe 4 times over the last 6 to 8 years. Your leg shaving made me chuckle...I think that way about my "area". I actually forgot to make my "landscaping" appointment before tomorrow's supression check...it's not a pretty sight. :-)
Hopefully things will even out with the DL for you. I'm on regular Lupron so I'm not having hot flashes or anything like that. I wish stupid AF would show up, though. Who wishes for THAT? Oh yeah...infertiles with cycles to begin. :-)
Oh wow -- sorry to hear that the little one was so sick -- scary! Glad to hear that she is getting better and i hope you both get some rest soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad that the endocrinologist was a good appt -- I was at mine yesterday for more bloodletting.
And the hot flashes and period that never ends? I can only express my condolences. I'm bloated the size of the Hindenburg after 14 days of shots, but the hot flashes *stink*.
Get some rest and I hope all calms down!
