Welp
I title a lot of my posts like that LOL
Anyway have been thyroid free mostly for a month and I start testing this week to see if they got all everything. Blood Work Wednesday and then next week is the week of the scans I will most likely have radiation next Friday and then have to do a week of isolation. Things are moving and for that I am so thankful. This has been super hard on me. For the most part as my body has becomes more and more starved for the thyroid hormones I am no longer producing I have gotten colder and colder, more and more tired, and this is the scary one really fuzzy and forgetful. That scares me a lot. I will forget what I was doing in the middle of doing it. Like I made Orzo salad last weekend and I put the orzo in it takes 9 minutes to cook and in that span of time I forgot what I was doing and burned the orzo! But even worse I will not stop sometimes when talking in mid sentence because I don't remember that I was talking let alone what I was saying I just stop talking and go blank it is really upsetting. I have asked my mom to point it out when I do it and I apparently do it more then I thought. I have good days and bad days and am i am almost through it I will start getting meds a few days into radiation.
I am also currently on a special low iodine diet which is not too bad but which I could not do without my mom. She is cooking for me and meal planning and getting and keeping my shit together and without her I would literally be gnawing on random things and eating nothing but raw fruit and veg because i can not think enough to plan out anything.
I am also back to work until isolation which is really hard mostly because i don't think my work understands what I am going through at all
