Since I missed my appt. w/ the new pdoc I have to wait another month to get a slot. I called my old pdoc a couple of days ago, because I've been feeling more and more depressed. I asked if she would write me a prescription to increase my Marplan by 10 mg. I'm on 40 mg. now, I had been on 50 but we took it down a notch because I was getting dizzy spells. She refused because she can't see me in person. I wish she weren't so ultra-careful.
What I'm doing now is making sure I take my Cytomel on an empty stomach, and taking lots of vitamins every day. I don't know if it's going to help. So far I'm still depressed.
I'm losing my hair. I started using generic Rogaine. It takes a several weeks to see if it has any effect. At least the dermatologist said by the time women reach 50 they've usually lost all the hair they are going to lose, unless the loss is caused by something other than a genetic predisposition. It could be caused by one of my meds, such as Neurontin, but she thought it was more likely to be female pattern baldness.
