Universal and eating

Wow...did we ever walk yesterday.   The best part is late in the afternoon, as we sat down to a real cheat supper I realized that I didn't get a nap nor did I ever feel tired that afternoon.   Honestly, that felt like a victory.   I've been taking Synthroid for about four days and perhaps it is already showing a benefit.  If this ends up making me feel better and more active, then I'll will be happy but also pissed that all these years have gone by and it's what I've needed.   It's not like I haven't discussed this with my docs in the past.  Why the hell don't they listen to us?  Do we not know how we feel better than they?   Yeah...test results are important, I'm not saying that and yes some people are hypochondriacs but I think tests are only as good as their interpretations in light of what the patient is saying.   Values for hormones and things like sodium or potassium levels are given with the 'normal' range.  Someone may need more or less of something.  
I also know doctors have to be careful with people who may be pill shopping.  That's a real problem these days.  My ex-MIL was like that.  She'd keep going to different doctors until she'd find one that'd give her what she wanted.   A truly dangerous situation and one here in Florida has cause issues with many pain killers.   But if you've been suffering from something that's long-standing and nothing's worked, then to use a cliche, it's time to to think outside the box.   That's what my doc has done.  We're going to monitor and I'll get more blood work in the near future to see how I'm doing.   Nothing's without risk so everything must be approached cautiously.   So my advice is to keep a log, stay on top of how you feel, what works, what doesn't work, and communicate with your doctor about these things. 
As for eating, yes, it was a cheat day.  We split a sandwich for lunch, had some gelato for a snack, a few candy sour gummies, and I had a grilled chicken burger at Bubba Gump for supper.   But we walked all.day.long.    Today, we'll eat decent.  We have a investing thing to go to at 1p which is to be a brunch (a brunch at 1p?) then we'll have roast chicken leftovers for supper.   Back in the saddle again!
