I didn't talk to him but a nurse. I said that I was having reactions to it in that I was very moody ( flat-out depressed now), I had no energy, and am gaining weight. His responce was, " up your Levoxyl to .075 to every day except twice a week. Okay, what do you think? Should I give him the BOTD and see him in person or should I just go ahead and switch doctors? Guys, I hate to sound like a whiny thing but I am absolutely miserable. I don't want to get out of bed in the morning, I have no energy, FORGET going to the gym and I have to " entertain " my 2 year old( who also has a party this weekend I've got to round up and I'm NOT in the mood for this). I give up, I'm flat-out depressed. I truthfully haven't felt " whole " in 4 months. I hear about all these people who have switched meds and are doing SO much better now and I'm wondering if this could be me too. Could I actually BE happy and have Hashi's- is it possible? Well, anyway, I need your opinion about this doctor thing. My husbands wanting me to get a 2nd opinion - NOT possible on an HMO SO I'm going to just switch.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 I'm due for my one month appointment on the 27th. The last bloodwork done was back in July and it wasn't great: TSH : 6.46 (free) T4 - 1.1 He upped to me to what I'm doing currently: alternating 75 mcg's and 50mcg's. I can only HOPE I'm back down in the 3's for this month's reading. > ,what dosage are you on now?

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 Decrease me workout???? Hah! That's a laugh. I don't workout right now as it is. That's the problem - I don't have the energy to get out of bed in the a.m. to go to the gym. I need to INCREASE my workout to 3 days a week. Actually, I think I've figured out what will get rid of the depression and boredom - STAY BUSY. I'm not talking book reading busy, I mean...physically running around trying to get errands done. I did this today and my depression seemed to have lifted. I think that's what I need - regimen. Like I said before, my body seems to THRIVE on regimen.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 , so right now you're taking 50 one day and 75 the next? I've never heard of that..... so, now he wants you to take the 75 one or two more times per week? That seems subtle, especially with your TSH being so high. I've definitely felt the way you feel and I didn't have a kid, so I can't even imagine that (I Have one on the way though and hope it doesn't come back - but you never know with Hashi's). I would go on your instinct with the dr switch. If you don't feel that he's meeting your overall needs, then I would definitely switch or at least start doing research on other docs (call and ask the nurse questions about a prospective dr's views on things that are important to you). Then you can stay with this doc until you find a better one. Have you tried looking on the top doc list to see if others have suggested a dr. in your area. I think it's on thyroid.about.com and then top doc is listed on the left. Well hopefully you're having fun at your son's party.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2002 Report Share Posted August 18, 2002 Yep Gracia, I believe you are right. When I've been looking for my docs I've been specifically looking for a doc who will prescribe ANYTHING but Levoxyl. I just know SOMETHING has to change.....I'd like to try it, it can't be any worse than I am now!!! LOL I'm going to check out that site too for the info on the drug.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 OMGoodness she is so precious! Look at those cheeks! Thank you for sharing them! Now I am no expert, but in my humble opinion I think that her plagio, if you even want to call it that, is mild at best. I think that with repo you are going to get great results and will not need a helmet at all (just looking at her pictures, I'm not right there with you of course). Keep up the great work! I hope you don't lose too much sleep. If you stay on top of repo as much as I think you will she will be home free!!! Please keep us posted and thank you again. Sue Colin F. 1 this Fri.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 , Given the fact that she is starting daycare next week and you don't think repositioning will be possible, I would recommend you to investigate getting a band. I hate to say that since she's so young, but at least you'll be prepared for it. It can take a while to get insurance approved and find a practitioner so that may by you some time with hoping she will round out more on her own. That blasted tort doesn't make repo very easy does it? The good news is that she's at a great age for treatment.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 : I faced the same thing with my son when I went back to work. He was in the mod/severe category with plagio but with very mild tort. I created a sheet of tips for daycare, including pictures of how he was to be positioned. They did a pretty good job but it wasn't me (who was keeping him off his flat spot 24/7). So my advice would be to go over repo stuff with them, provide them any repo tools you use i.e. sleep positioner (which I used for playing on the gym mat, kept him on his side and he could reach for stuff that way), give them directions. My husband and I also staggered our schedules so he was in daycare less (he got dropped off at 9am and picked up by 4pm). While we did all that with daycare, we worked on getting the band. Because of the age, I would pursue a band as suggested -- the length of time to get approval, etc. -- and see how they do with repoing her.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi , Kaitlyn is adorable (that name was on our short list). She has soo much hair. I see the brachy you are talking about. It's definitely not severe. It's probably around 2 standard deviations which is borderline banding - however I'm not very good at brachy assessments just my guess. Like said the daycare and tort factors may be your biggest push to get her banded young. Will daycare be able to do any of her tort streches or sit her in a exercauser or bumbo seat or make sure she gets tummy time? One of the mom's on here actually bought her daycare a bumbo seat. Granted exercausers and bumbos aren't best for tort babies but when they have plagio and brachy it's the lesser of 2 evils. Some moms have found their daycare providers to be very accomodating when they sat down and explained everything to them. I think we even have some " instruction " sheets in the files section. I don't think getting a professional evaluation (at an ortho not neuro) would be a waste of time. I think it would be very helpful. It takes awhile to get insurance stuff and if they said she was borderline give it another 2 months then you could always wait. My 2nd dd will go to CT for a consult on 10/24. She has tort and is probably very mild plagio but I need the peace of mind Do you know of any orthos in your area? Some Hanger and STARband orthos also provide free evaluations like CT does. Just ask. Keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi , Kaitlyn is adorable (that name was on our short list). She has soo much hair. I see the brachy you are talking about. It's definitely not severe. It's probably around 2 standard deviations which is borderline banding - however I'm not very good at brachy assessments just my guess. Like said the daycare and tort factors may be your biggest push to get her banded young. Will daycare be able to do any of her tort streches or sit her in a exercauser or bumbo seat or make sure she gets tummy time? One of the mom's on here actually bought her daycare a bumbo seat. Granted exercausers and bumbos aren't best for tort babies but when they have plagio and brachy it's the lesser of 2 evils. Some moms have found their daycare providers to be very accomodating when they sat down and explained everything to them. I think we even have some " instruction " sheets in the files section. I don't think getting a professional evaluation (at an ortho not neuro) would be a waste of time. I think it would be very helpful. It takes awhile to get insurance stuff and if they said she was borderline give it another 2 months then you could always wait. My 2nd dd will go to CT for a consult on 10/24. She has tort and is probably very mild plagio but I need the peace of mind Do you know of any orthos in your area? Some Hanger and STARband orthos also provide free evaluations like CT does. Just ask. Keep us posted.
