A Little Confused Sigh, where to begin.
Visited my endo yesterday for a "check-up". Last labs in November where my doctor informed me that my TSH is such that I can stay on my 112 mcg of Synthroid a day and have also been taking 50 mcg of Spironolactone 2x daily.
He felt my thyroid, looked at his latest notes (from November's labs) and asked how I felt. I replied that I felt a little tired lately, but I've been staying up late. He asked about the facial hair and if my spiro had been helping, I said I think it had been helping slightly, but I had new hairs too...he said that he'd increase my doseage to 100mcg 2x daily but in 3 months if it's not "working" and I notice new outbreaks of hairs that he'd take me off my spiro, but didn't say anything about another "fix" I mentioned metformin but he kinda brushed that off....
Since i've been on my meds for my thyroid, i've felt much better, I've lost some weight, my periods have gotten straightened out and shorter/less heavy than before, I don't get as many zits....the list goes on.
Oh! I have my labs too from my PCOS tests - he said, i'm kinda in the middle..I'm not sure what to make of all the numbers, but was hoping someone could shed some light:
Testosterone, serum - 59 ng/dL
Testost., % Free&weakly Bound - 8.4%
Testost., F&W Bound - 5.0 ng/dL
Lutenizing Hormon, Serum LH 5.2 mIU/mL
FSH, Serum FSH 4.9 mIU/mL
DHEAS - 268 ug/dL
Last several days my breasts have been verrrry tender and I've still got a few weeks to go to my period...am I falling apart?
