Before we get too excited, I have to point out that W said she was considering blood tests. She didn’t say she had decided to get her TSH tested.
I’m hoping that this is what she meant since she already had this test when she was overly tired. I’m hoping that she’ll explore all of the possibilities with her doc (including TSH), and I’m hoping that her doc is aware of the latest standards for hormone levels.
The fact that she mentioned blood tests to me isn’t an opening for me to educate her or push her for more or better testing. This is something that she considers very personal, so I cannot probe. All I can do is listen to whatever she chooses to share with me.
But this is a major major thing! She has just shown that she trusts me enough to share “personal” issues with me.
I don’t know if she’s being affected by hypoT or any other hormone problem. I hope she’ll get to the bottom of this, and I hope she’ll share it with me.
