Return to exhaustion

I'm not sure if I'm tired because of all the activities I've been doing lately, if it is my decreased Levoxyl dosage, or what. At the beginning of last week, I thought it was just PMS. I started my new, lower Levoxyl dosage on Friday, so it really shouldn't kick into my system until Thursday or Friday this week since the T4 stays in our bodies for about 6-7 days. I went climbing twice this past weekend. I was still a little sore from Friday night on Sunday (or was that from having my NEX-5 in my purse most of the day as I walked around the photo expo and the outlet mall?!?) after pilates.

I definitely got more climbs in on Sunday since I was switching off with one of the guys instead of with Serena and someone else. I even conquered a route with an overhang! It took a bit longer than most people, I'm sure, but I didn't give up, and I eventually made it up to the top, not on the route I selected (relax, I'm only doing white, not even close to doing anything in the more advanced ones 5.8 - 5.11). To keep my head at a reasonable size for my beginner level, there was a kid party at the gym too, so a few times I had this little girl climbing up behind or next to me. I got really sick of that girl always being on my tail - really, find some other wall to climb, little girl. Or try climbing at my age after the year I've had. Ugh!

So at work today, I was having a hard time concentrating and getting anything done. Most of the time I really just wanted to go to sleep. I was reading up on some SharePoint stuff, which I mostly find interesting (and it better be because it's mainly what I'm working on now!), but I think it was putting me to sleep. I'm going up to Brea Thursday to meet with a co-worker to go over our two projects, well, I guess to go over all of the SharePoint projects for our dept. It'll be nice to not have to navigate everything on my own. I think our individual experiences with SharePoint complements that of the other, so we should be able to get a lot done, if we get along. I don't mean that in a negative way, we just have very different work styles, so it will be interesting to see how well this goes.

This should at least keep me adequately distracted until my ENDO appt next month. Still kicking around the idea of going back to my 2nd opinion ENDO to see what she'd do about my TSH and FT4 levels not responding properly to the lower dosages of T4. I'm not too worried, Ok, I lie, I still am a little worried about my T4 dosage going down which is making my TSH, not my FT4, go down. My worry is that if my ENDO goes any lower, maybe my TSH won't be suppressed enough (despite the fact that it is still dropping, maybe the labs are wrong?!?), and the next thing I know, I've got recurrence or mets elsewhere in my body. Would that mean another surgery and/or another round of RAI? I think I just need someone (another ThyCan) to tell me the same thing happened to them and it was only temporary, and someone else (my ENDO) to tell me why this is happening and what I can expect. Maybe this is why I'm so tired again?
