80th Effexor Update - Feeling Poor

For some reason I had severe tachycardia all night last night. I remember having it one other time. I think my heart is fine; I've had it checked before. It must be related to the withdrawal somehow. Hopefully tonight will be better! I got the results of my lab work back this morning. My thyroid is still out of whack, so I will need to discuss with my doctor what to do about it since the Levothyroxine seems to cause me issues and I don't want to increase the dose. There is another drug called Tyrosint that I might try. The key is finding something that treats my hypothyroidism without it increasing my anxiety. My Vitamin D level is 31.7 and should be higher, but I can't tolerate supplements. I'll have to increase my sun exposure. It's frustrating when you need a supplement but your nervous system is too sensitized to handle it! My fasting blood glucose is 100. I'm very nervous about heading towards diabetes. My body needs a certain amount of carbs each day in order to sleep and function. I cannot handle eating a super low-carb diet. SO, I have to take other measures to help this issue. Evidently if you walk for 10 minutes after each meal, it brings down your glucose level by about 30%. I'm going to start doing this three times a day. Overall, I have recovered from the severe stress that I experienced last week and am feeling better in that respect. My CNS needs to keep strengthening itself. Hopefully it will become more resilient as time goes on. I hope everyone has a nice weekend! 🥰
