Went to the rheumatologist today because of the pain in my hands from a few weeks back. I was checking to see if it was arthritic pain or something else. The Dr did an exam and basically told me that my pain is probably coming from my thyroid problems. She said that I need to have my levels checked. I go in for my thyroid results next week so I’ll be able to see where my levels are. This is great news though!! I can work with my Dr. to adjust my meds and then check back in a few months to make sure the dose is still correct. All in all I feel great and am getting better with each passing month. I look back at these last 6 months and I feel like my life has changed so much…for the better. It’s really amazing how much better I have gotten in just the last three months alone! This past summer was hard on me but that is the past and all I can do is move forward one day at a time.
