I got the bad news today that I'm not doing so well.. My Thyroid gland has once again gone way overactive to the point where i'm at a high risk of having a Stroke, or worse.. My T4 is double over what is considered maximum high normal.. For those that don't know, the Thyroid gland (in your neck) controls many parts of your body including the heart.
I was taking medication until last November when everything was tested and functioning normally but stopped taking the meds when I started getting ill once a week from them.. I had a really good stretch of feeling good for 6 months until June & July when I started trembling inside and feeling anxiety and vision problems.. I thought it may of been excitement about going to Anthrocon.. This week I went to have a blood test done to check my Thyroid levels and returned home yesterday to find several calls on my answering machine warning me that this is serious and much worse then years ago.
With Spark worried and hounding me today to get to a doctor I left work early to get some more pills and another referal to a specialist, they checked my blood pressure and for any skipping heart beats.. This is my fault when I should of kept closer tabs on my health even if it seemed fine.
