Do to hitting my head on the street when falling over on stationary motorcycle(91 DR 650S), over last weekend and wife and neighbor getting me to check with my Dr., no problem with head but due to constant cold feeling, Dr. requested blood test for thyroid. next day got call from Dr saying to start thyroid medicine due to low level, but on plus side my creatinine levels which have been 3.0 2 weeks before are down to 2.3, still to high, but getting better. Chemo Dr is sending me to a Kidney Dr to check it out. Most likely due to Chemo Treatment, which is why they hydrated me so much during treatment and after. When my blood pressure started going high(160-190 over 90-110), Chemo sent me to my Dr and he requested I back off Hydration every day. Blood pressure came down to as low as 108 over 60 and my Dr backed down on my blood pressure meds. NowI don't get Hydration and more, BP is ok< and still losing weight. Side effect of low thyroid levels is weight gain. Not likely with as little as I eat.
Treatment has been over for over a month, still losing weight cause can't eat much, but its ok, down 100 lbs. Find my attitude is at times poor cause I can't do much, feel tired all the time, feel like eating, but nothing tastes good(still no sense of taste) and mouth is always dry(salivary glands not working) that when I due eat, My mouth sucks all the moisture out of the food and by the time it reaches the back of my throat the food is so dry it hurts to swallow and often plugs up. The neuropathy in my hands and feet from Chemo causes loss of feeling to intense cold and pain at times. If I'm lucky, it will go away within 2 years, but means using my hands by sense of touch is gone. Ought to see me try to wash and fit my contacts in my eyes. Plus side with the weight loss, I'm down to a 44 waist from a 56 waist and had to toss all my pants. found in my closet some 46's I may be able to wear. My shoes are all too large now also, and most of my shirts are way to big. I'm going to try and back fit some of the time sensitive data I've not recorder, pay attention to the dates until I figure out how to get in crono order.
