I do have a thyroid thingy!

Sorry, you know what I mean.
I just seem to recall you saying you have something wrong with your thyroid.
(Poppet some assembly required., Sun 31 Jul 2011, 12:10, Reply)

Yeah, I've got hyperthyroidism.

Err... Because I'm awesome.
I've had various drugs to control things, but they are reluctant go down the radioactive iodine route at this point because of the potential damage it could do to my eyes.

ah, they did the drugs on me
for a little while. When I stopped it went faster again and they were like "QUICK! To the radioactive room!"

I should be on these pills for the next 12 months and from there they'll reassess things.

Sounds like fun...

If I've learned one thing in the first two semesters of uni,
It's that the body is SHIT at looking after itself if one little enzyme goes wrong.

I wonder if I should get tested..
I've always had vitamin D deficiency. *hypochondriacs*
(Poppet some assembly required., Sun 31 Jul 2011, 12:23, Reply)

It affects a lot of stuff...
Since I've been taking the meds my digestive system has already improved. I'm still sleepy and grumpy but I'm only halfway through the course. Soon I hope to be Dopey or Doc.

What tablets are you on?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 12:28, Reply)

Colecalciferol.
D3 I think. If it doesn't work then they'll scan my parathyroids to see if they're overgrown or have lil tumours.

I know it does... I really do sympathise.
I think it's part of this course - every time I hear of a new disease I mentally think of the symptoms and which ones I have or have had. :P

I shouldn't be allowed near medical dictionaries for the same reason.

Haha, you should see the size of the one I have..
it's over 1500 A4 sized pages full of a hypochondriac's wet dream.

when mine was fast
I barely slept at all! I could only sit down for any length of time if I forced myself to do something that required concentration. I did cross stitch. It was that bad
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 12:11, Reply)

The pills I'm on now are doing a lot to help.
About 6 months ago I was hardly sleeping at all.
