Don't ask me what I mean.

So yeah, so awake right now. I do not have a brain tumor! So, in other words "it's not a tumah!" *Said of course in a total Anhuld voice. Instead, I have hypothyroidism and a vitamin D deficiency. So, yeah, simple blood test, pills and in a few days I should be feeling awesome again. Well, by awesome I mean my normal self. My vitamin D was so low that they couldn't even detect it. So, I'm on pills and was told to "go out into the sunshine for christ sake." My goal? To sit in the sun while I smoke my whole clove. Two birds, one stone. Anyway, yeah. Not dying, not killing. Drinking vodka energy drinks so I will likely be up for a while. Fail. Long day. School in T-10. Woohoo.

Congrats on not having a brain tumor.
So, you join my coworker Deb, three friends form high school, my mom, two aunts, my grandfather, and Hilary in having hypothyriodism... And possibly me, I get tested every two years.

Good news is, a reset metabolism means weight loss, energy, feeling warmer, even periods, and (oh god, I want to have this for it to be true) no constipation.

Hashimoto's?

Yep. Apparently it can also mess with my eyes or something too. Man, I'm kinda glad that it's this cause it explains so much that's been wrong with stuff, ya know.

Yep. After a long time, you basically lose motor function, eyes, hands, walking, everything, until you go into a coma and die. My mom was in the Raynaud's "oh god, oh god, so cold always shivering, can't walk, my eeeeeyeeeeessss.." stage.

So uh. YAY FOR FINDING OUT.

Seriously, though, life gets so much better when you're well diagnosed. Good luck.
