Got a letter from the endocrinologist telling me what I already knew about my lab results: they are good and my dose of PTU should remain the same.
I have had two decades' worth of trouble with sex hormones as well, and asked him to draw some labs on those, too. It amounts to very atypical PCOS that doesn't seem to come from insulin resistance, is not helped by metformin and never affected my fertility, anyhow. But it is annoying. I'm pleased to see that while testosterone and androstenedione are elevated, they look a lot better than 10 years ago.
The official boilerplate doctor's response to my shin and painful fingers: "So?"
Posting a new picture, with son, mugging at the camera. As you can see, the eyes are not greatly out of whack. They trouble me much less than last winter and spring, although the puffiness has not gone away and the lid lag varies.
