Unexpected

On Monday morning I had an appointment to have a fasting blood test after visiting the Doctor last week. I asked to have my cholesterol checked and it was decided he would run a few tests at the same time. I had an appointment booked to see him again next Wednesday so I was surprised when I got a phone call yesterday to say he had my results back. It seems I have hypo thyroidism and he asked that I pick up a prescription later in the day. With hind sight I can now see that this makes sense as I tick a lot of the boxes - hopefully taking the tablets will make me feel "normal" again. I'll also be interested to talk to the Dr at next week's appointment to find out more.


And for a cuter photo, this one of Alice was taken when I popped round on Monday. I couldn't get over how long her hair has got or how cute it looks in a pony tail :)

  8. Tracy's been taking thyroid medication for several years. It makes a huge difference! I'm sure you'll see benefits very shortly.
