First of all, I want to share some very exciting news. I went in for a TSH test on Tuesday because 2 years ago I stopped taking synthroid for my hypothyroidism and though I’ve been taking an all natural thyroid activator, a doctor friend of mine asked me to come in to have my levels checked to be sure it was indeed working. I received the great news on Friday: I no longer have hypothyroidism!

My visit to the dermatologist, Dr. Ring, went well on Monday. Because it had been over a month since my last XTRAC laser treatment, we decided to go down to 220 mJ (don’t quote me on the scientific term, but I know it was 220 something).  Tuesday and Wednesday I showed a bit of burning, so we decided to skip the Wed. treatment so as to avoid further burning. My next appointment is tomorrow.
