Update: I am happy to report that my test t3, t4 and tsh were all normal. Dr. didn't explain the possible cause of the high t4 reading. My vitamin D is still too low though. Ears are not 100% yet...It's looking like a viral infection. The dr said it will take time and I am most likely whiped out from the infection. I am just not going to the dr. unless it's urgent. I hate being alarmed and leaving with more ?'s than I had walking in. I am alive, I am breastfeeding abundantly, dealing with all kinds of big kid/little kid issues, back to belly dancing, keeping my dh pleased, my house is pretty clean and I had 2 huge Saint Bernards that are trained really well. I feel that I just need more sleep (hahaha!) and to get back to work asap and I hope to be teaching tribal fusion belly dance and Zumba. Waiting for summer. We didn't have much of one last year....All it did was rain and I was pretty occupied inside with Tobias so maybe this year a little more sunlight and day trips with the kids and the dogs will make life feel complete. I am so thankful for everything and getting a 2nd chance. So what if I am tired! Oh and I also cannot wait until all the Farmer's markets fire up again. I think I will be making Tobias some good homemade mush. ;D Still no AF and we are not preventing anymore. So, playing some Russian roulette now. God is in control. Tobias was an against all odds baby. I like justing allowing God's will be done. It takes so much pressure off us.
I went to the dr again whining...this time is was a nasty dual ear infection and how weak and tired I feel. I saw a different dr there for a follow up. She looked at my blood work a week ago and pointed out I had a normal TSH but one of the other levels (Free t3 or free t4) was super high and the other was normal. I cannot remember which ones. She had me repeat it and she says that my blood work is pointing to hyperthyroidism. I asked her the symptoms and I have a lot of them....trouble sleeping, anxiety, DRY painful eyes with light sensitivity and heart palps. I have had all of these issues for years. The new one for the last 1-2 years has been my eyes.
I have another lab slip and follow up appt on Monday next week.
I hope all of this is just off because I just had a baby....even though it's has been a little over 6 months ago. The first round of blood work was in the fall and my reg, dr overlooked the thyroid results.
I don't want to have to stop nursing until Tobias wants to wean. Knock on wood here but we didn't get a cold yet this winter...just the cold back in the summer. I want to protect him from illness. It's hard because I would probably have more energy if I stopped but we're getting by. It's tiring at my age. I have 3 other kids and having issues with them and the ongoing visitiation and custody challenges because of their dads just having to be oppositonal just for the sake of being oppositional...gives them a sense of power and control. Tobias is recognizing people and creeping all around. I love these dogs. I am just not the type to trust them around the baby or the kids without being right next to them. Saint Bernards are the "gentle giants" as so far they are living up to that -esp my older one Sasha...The pup Sania (8 mo. old and 80 lbs roughly) is still in puppy brain mode. So, she drains my life force sometimes because she is awful on the leash. It's like it's the first time on a leash every single time I bring her out. I cannot push the stroller and walk her. I have never had this happen. Sasha never pulls. My dh's schedule is insane. I am just tapped. I think it's time to discuss removing or cutting and tying my tube. I cannot see myself bursting with energy ever again. Those days are long gone or that is the way I feel. I am used to being able to do it all but I am not used to doing it all whilst dragging myself through each task.
I think I might be able to fall back to sleep after this long vent.

Hope the health issues are figured out soon.
