Reminder to me: do not have a Thyrogen trial over Thanksgiving, even if you're not on the low iodine diet.
I forget how many symptoms of hypothyroidism I get after the injections, namely: muscle and joint pain, dry skin, feeling cold all the time, brain fog, deep and abiding fatigue (that one could just be because I don't get enough sleep), gastroparesis, sinus congestion, headache, ...
Yes, I'm blaming it all on the Thyrogen, which should clear my system over the next week or so, and then I'll be fine. But having to deal with all these physical irritations when I want to be working in the kitchen is a drag.
I had my second blood test this morning, so technically, that's that. The tech drew from the back of my right hand, and this afternoon it started itching something fierce, probably from the tape she used to secure the gauze over the injection site. Fortunately that all settled down, because I can't deal with another something blowing up right now, even if it is minor. Too much to do.
I want to peel the apples for the pies, but I have to enter grades, first. And then go to bed at a decent hour and see if it helps!
