Hello. You've been doing pretty well lately so I won't complain too much. I don't mind that you make me lie awake until 1am each night. I won't complain about how you make my hair fall out and how you make me feel really jittery. I won't complain that my internal thermostat is constantly measuring about 25+ C. What I will complain about is how I CAN'T JUST GO FOR A RUN. Seriously. Enough. Nine months it's been. I take a beta blocker and 45 minutes later I go out for a little jog or football practice. What happens? Heart rate immediately goes up to 200+. On Tuesday, I ran for 15 minutes and just decided to ignore the chest pains. I'm hoping that they were just the regular coronary artery spasms that I get. On Monday, I had to stop doing the drills at football practice and just watch. Exercise is so healthy for me, mentally and physically, and I NEED it. Please, just don't stimulate those adrenaline receptors so much and just let me do my thing. Please. In conclusion, do you know what I'm asking for for Mother's Day? A heart rate monitor. Oh thyroid. Thank you for working so hard but you can slow down a little now...
Love, Louise
Hi. Today Haley C. told me about your blog and to check it out: the endo diagnosed me with Graves just yesterday and we were talking over coffee this morning. So, I looked it up and soon realized that I read your blog once before - about a year ago - lol, when I started this journey toward a diagnosis. I actually suspected I was hypo but the doctor didn't hesitate with his diagnosis. I would love to ask you some questions, if you're willing to receive them?
