Yeah I'm slack, and I decided you could have a taste of what would be my theatrics as an intro what with it being Awards season and all, as well as the fact that there are a lot of blogging awards flying round the interwebs these days!
So how are you? Me, why
No I'm not really. I had a meltdown at the Doctors last week and would you believe it, it wasn't over the Princess's
Its ok, let your breath out. I'm fine. Still a wee bit emotional but there is no cancer, hooray! (I typed that with a Capital C, and went back and changed it - take that cancer). So what is wrong with me? I'm still waiting to find out, my thyroid is going gangbusters though, apparently, well maybe the Dr and the Radiologist used other words that involved things like 'hyper' and 'toxicosis'. So I may have a auto-immune disease that will have me taking a pill everyday for the rest of the world and slowly morphing into one of those people who have to put away money each week to fill their prescriptions once every 3 months.
What they said....
Hyperthroidism or Thyrotosicosis (real words used by the way): (Nah don't panic, Dr Google isn't involved. Tests done by my GP & Radiologist with referral to Mr Endocrinologist happening), so...
Symptoms (Don't worry I'll just give you the fun ones,
- Tiredness (So I can't blame the Princess for all of it)
- Insomnia (Great, so when you want to sleep, are allowed to sleep, you cant)
- Irritability (See points one and two, you'd be pissed too)
- Inability to gain weight but increased appetite (Woohoo, the bonus feature! At least there is a plus with this)
Potential Causes:
Graves disease, bacterial infection (ruled out through blood test), cancer (ruled out through ultrasound), Hashimoto's disease.
Now out of the two possible real causes I'd rather have Hashimoto's, I don't know anything about either disease
