Do I look or not look? If they're fine, I don't need to worry for the next two days, but if they're off I'll be even more worried for the next two days. I did look at the thyroid results and my levels are higher than they should be, which could explain why I'm so anxious lately to begin with, at least partially.
Test results are in

Just go for it, If I were you I'd just end up agonizing over it until I did it.
I wouldn’t do it. Wait for your doctor to check everything out. More than once I’ve seen an “off” result and worried and my doc said nope, it’s fine. Even after she tells me it’s ok I won’t look at the numbers for a few weeks to a month so I can really convince myself it’s fine and not create any physical issues worrying about a result. Try to distract yourself today and call first thing tomorrow so they know you need your results asap.

What was your thyroid at? I’m a pro at reading my thyroid results by now! Have you looked/ talked to your doctor?Do I look or not look? If they're fine, I don't need to worry for the next two days, but if they're off I'll be even more worried for the next two days.

I did, unfortunately since there was a problem with my endocrinologist's office, my medication levels weren't accurate when tested so I gotta redo them. Everything else was more or less normal. Except my vitamin d which is in the toilet again, but I expected as much.

Sorry you have to go through the testing again, that sucks.I did, unfortunately since there was a problem with my endocrinologist's office, my medication levels weren't accurate when tested so I gotta redo them.

Whether you look or don't look, the results will be the same. Stewing won't chance a thing. However, keep in mind if you do look that those of us who are not trained in medicine (and especially those of us with HA as well) are incapable of recognizing the subtlety involved in those results. Trust your doc. He or she is the one with the training and expertise to correctly interpret the nuances of the numbers.
