I got a call from my endocrinologist today. I'd had some bloodwork done to see how my FSH levels are, and to run some more normal tests. Well, the FSH is back up to 40, which means there is pretty much no chance it'll ever get down to where it's supposed to be. This isn't surprising. What is surprising is that I'm not even worried about it. Maybe I've been doing a good job of preparing myself to deal with being infertile. Or maybe I'm just overwhelmed by everything else. Who knows.
What I am worried about is the rest of what she said, the part about my cholesterol being high and something being wrong with my thyroid to the point that she wants me on medication. She said that I need to have an appointment with my regular physician concerning my cholesterol as soon as possible. I'm...not actually sure what the deal is, but she's going to mail me my lab results, which I will promptly fax to my mother.
I've quit taking the hormones, because I ran out of them and we were going to have me quit them anyway. If I don't have a period in eight weeks, I'm supposed to call and tell the endocrinologist so. With my luck, I probably won't, right?
I have been really stupid about my health since the fire. I haven't exercised at all, and I've been eating like a pig. Plus, I've been drinking lots of sodas, including stuff with caffeine. It's like I flushed all the hard work (well, I guess it wasn't all that much, but it was still better than nothing) I've done over the past who knows how long completely down the toilet.
So, I need to rectify this situation. It is really hard to cook properly when I don't have access to a full refrigerator and freezer or my own cookware, but you know, I just need to deal with it. And I need to hurry up and get Yama so I can start biking again. Being this unhealthy is simply unacceptable.

If you ever want thyroid info, you can contact me.
Thanks.
And thanks for commenting back on the fire post. It really meant a lot to me.
As this reply of yours has meant a lot to me.... I am glad to see that at least you are saving money for your first house, as well as being terrifically smart about financing it. Not to mention that it seems you are doing contracting work, which I thought is something you actually wanted to do(?).
Yeah, I had thought about setting up my own business and doing contract web and data entry and design work for companies.
Right now I'm just doing those things for my former employer. Once he's out of projects (which will happen), I don't have any other clients lined up.
