I am back!

  • Hi guys I am back ... I think I am on the upward turn of the illness that has been plaguing me ... I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism which explains the hair loss, swelling feet, wonky periods and some of the mental stuff that's been going on. I started on the low dose thyroid treatment today, so we will see how that goes.

    I am still having hearing loss from what ever is going on in my head. However I have been seeing an ENT and he is slightly befuddled at the cause. Especially since my hearing was back when I had the hearing test back and now its not due to the violent thunder and windstorm that came through Friday 2 weeks ago, which caused sudden pain in my ear and my tonsils and what not to swell, and although that is getting better it is not there yet. I go for an MRI this week to get my adenoid checked.

    And worse yet I have gained back a lot of weight, back up to 393 * sighs *, but the tops of my feet are extremely swollen soooooo I am hoping a large percent is water weight. I have been eating cereal for breakfast the last week, so I am attempting to get back on track. I need to get back to making breakfasts sandwiches they stick with me longer. Anyway I am hoping that all the sickness is about at an end so I am going to get back on track and get my butt back to eating healthy.
