I'm really pissed that the editing icon disappeared from below my posts. That's going to make editing older posts a real bitch. Why the hell would they take that away?! I researched how to restore it, but nothing I do works.

Also, I got a visitor who came in from YouTube. But I don't have this journal link on YouTube. Must have been someone who was on YouTube, aware of this account, and headed straight to it from there.

Just when I thought my lung tightness was tied to the sleep apnea before I got the CPAP, my lungs were tight again at the end of my day. I even had a coughing fit in my sleep. Why does the past always return to haunt me? Anyway, my asthma is clearly being aggravated by the airborne allergens. I really hope to hell this doesn't become a regular problem so I don’t have to make yet another appointment with this pulmonologist that I don’t really like very much.

Instead of talking to me directly, Rhonda replied to her nurse, who shared the reply in which Rhonda said, “Maca is a food supplement that is used for different types of symptoms, but I don’t know anything about the safety or efficacy of it. She’ll just have to read the bottle on it. It’s not something we can run an interaction on in the system, and it’s regulated differently from medications. However, the rule of thumb is that vitamins and supplements should be spaced 4 hours from levothyroxine.”

Well, what good is she if she can’t tell me anything either way? I decided to just use it on days I have fatigue. I had a little today and yesterday, which is disappointing after having a promising week with four days of good energy in it. Tom still thinks I’ll gradually get better and better, and I hope to hell he’s right.

My sleep is still a bit fragmented at times, too. So I don’t know if shutting down my computer and getting the phone away from the bed really helps after all or not. What really sucks is that it’s so hard to get everything balanced just perfectly and keep it that way. There are so many different foods and supplements that can interfere with thyroid one way or another and even give false lab readings. Hell, I just learned that even the estrogen cream can indirectly interfere with thyroid, but hopefully I don’t use enough of it for it to do that.

It’s a good thing I didn’t know what was going on for about two and a half hours behind Toni’s place while I slept. Otherwise, that would’ve put a lot of stress on me. I was already under a little stress thinking a storm might fuck with my sleep but it didn’t. The electric company came out to dig a four-foot deep hole, according to Tom, because I guess they were splicing a damaged cable. He was worried that they would cut the power, but they didn’t. It’s a good thing I didn’t hear any banging when they covered the box up, but I did have the sound machine turned up a little bit because I thought it was going to storm.
