Slept through the mowers with no issues.

Today is the first day in a few days where I’ve had decent energy and little to no anxiety. Even half a tablet of hydroxyzine knocks me out and makes me sleep forever so my docs are calling in a prescription for 10 mg instead of 25 mg. I didn’t know they came that low.

I’ve noticed a definite pattern as far as what seems to trigger the anxiety, and the more time that passes, the more I’m convinced it is connected to the thyroid and or medication. I think hormones and what’s going on in my life have little to do with this particular feeling. Otherwise, I would have always experienced it whenever life got rough. It seems to be triggered by either being in the normal range, since for me that’s below normal, erratic dosing, rapid dosing, or being around 14 or higher. Tom thinks being on nights is a factor too.

They asked me how I felt about blood pressure medicine, and as I told them, I was hesitant because I still have times when my readings are good. So we agreed to have me try upping my cardio and see if that improves it. While I love working out in VR on the glider, it’s such a wimpy workout. They said you should be able to talk during a workout but not sing. I could definitely sing my heart out on that glider, LOL. It’s better than nothing but definitely not much of a workout since my HR rarely hits triple digits when I’m doing it. To get me into the Zone I need to hit at least 112. So if I’m not on the treadmill or jogging around the house, I need to do aerobics.
