To answer one of the questions about why Sasha may be gaining weight- we just got his thyroid tests back and both his free T4 and total T3 came back low. His T4 tests were well below the normal range and his total T3 tests were in the lowest quartile. Historically, when his thyroid levels have been low, he has gained weight rapidly and has been extra tired.
It is looking like the oxytocin has affected some of his hormones including his thyroid hormones. I must admit, I am feeling a bit victorious in figuring this out and am now awaiting instructions from his endo as to how much to raise his T4 and T3 medicines. More later on what we learn about his growth hormone level- stay tuned!
