I went to the doc today to get my well woman exam and
results from bloodwork I had done last week. I was diagnosed as being
diabetic, hypothyroidic, and Vitamin D deficient. They think the
diabetes may be related to my thyroid issues, so they aren't going to
put me on any medication for it or have me track my blood sugars yet.
They want me to go back in 3 months and have my fasting blood sugar/A1C,
tsh levels, and Vitamin D levels checked again. Then if my A1C drops
that means the diabetes is related to the thyroid issues and I won't be
put on medication, but if not then I go on Metformin.
I know it's not right to be relieved to have these problems, but a big part of me is relieved because I've been telling doctors for years that something is wrong and I literally could not lose weight no matter what I did. They, of course, started me on the smallest dosage of synthroid they possibly could, but I'm hopeful that there will be a turn around in my symptoms. I, honestly, feel like the people on Mystery Diagnosis who after so many years and doctors find out what's wrong with them and that they aren't imagining symptoms.
The sad thing is that we have to wait until we get my thyroid levels normalized to continue TTC. I really don't want to put it on hold, but I will if there's going to be developmental problems caused by it if I get pg. I'm hoping that with diet and exercise I can really start boosting my weight loss and help out my thyroid. I'm also still going to the chiropractor and getting treatments for insulin resistance and thyroid issues. I hope between the synthroid and the treatments at the chiro that I can get this regulated very quickly.
