Blood Test

Well, I went in to the clinic again. I saw a different Doctor this time, only because I felt like it was something that needed to be resolved. I didn't like her. She immediately gave a prescription for synthroid for Hypothyroidism. I asked her about natural ways, to avoid taking the prescription......she immediately had a response on the reason not to.....and seemed slightly annoyed that I asked. Then she told me my blood sugar was high. Or as she put it, "border line diabetic" if my blood sugar remains consistently high. Then also, that I have low vitamin D levels. I guess that's to be excepted from just coming out of an Alaskan winter. She then wrote me out the prescription and then sent me to get my blood drawn again. Everything I have read on hypothyroidism brings out that a low carb or "good" complex carb diet will make a big difference. Also, exercises will help. However, none of this was brought up.

She did though, suggest that we don't start having children until my thyroid levels are in a healthy range. Otherwise it can cause birth defects. It could also, in general hinder us from having children. Infertility is a symptom. Both Levi and I wanted to have children right away. I had read about this and was prepared to hear it.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure where my convictions lie as fare as seeing doctors. In this situation specifically I'm not sure what God wants me to do. I do know, that not being able to have children has been a long time fear. God is not the author of fear though, and this whole thing is just feeding that fear. I'm feeling more and more like this is the devils way of trying to get me back in bondage and oppression. I have come too fare to go back to that. God has proven Himself to me over and over. Regardless, I should know that He has everything already planned perfectly. To ultimately give Him the most glory and praise. I just need to trust HIS plan.

Well, I think I need a nap. I had to be at the Doctor at 8am and I worked until 3a last night. I'm tired!!

Please.....I don't know if emotionally I'm making a bigger deal out this then necessary..... but I, and I'm sure Levi also, would be very grateful for your prayers.
