My doc's nurse called...

[OnMyWay2aNewMe]

Finally got the results from my blood work...
My doc is gonna go ahead and treat me for an under active thyroid...I guess my thyroid levels were finally low enough to be treated. She is calling in a prescription...something that starts with an L....I forget. I asked if I was ok to still take Phen and she yes. Anybody else also being treated for this while taking Phen?

Also, she found that my levels of B12 were low, so she wants me to get some dissolving stuff over the counter and only take one once a week and that should do the trick.

She will do the blood work again in 8 weeks to recheck everything.

Both of these things she said contribute to me being so tired and fatigued all the time...interesting! I really hope that this will be the turn around I need to not always be tired. Not even the Phen helps give me a boost!!

Hi-
Just wanted to let you know that I am on both meds (phen and levoxythyroxine, which is the generic form of synthroid). I have suffered from symptoms on being hypothyroid for a long time and now that I am on my medicine I can tell it's getting a bit better. I guess I just thought it would be a miracle drug and make me feel 100% better right away! Be ready for lots of blood work and taking the thyroid med for the rest of your life. It's worth it though because I can actually lose weight now!!!
