Just a little health update! 
so recently I got to take a trip that I was supposed to take in 2019.  It was perfect in every way! I feel like it started to heal my entire world not just myself but the healing was so deep and magical that things fell into place to cause healing in areas I didn’t even realize it needed it!!!  I basically got to celebrate getting back into life!!  I had felt the best I have felt in two years!! I did  however have a little fall , got a blackeye…. and thought OK here we go just a little humbling ,  I just  got a little too excited🤣🤣…. Then came back to work And then realized I’m not 100% but that’s OK that hundred percent probably needs to change anyway my old 100% is not something that is achievable for me anymore and that’s OK everything has to change sometimes…

Now, fast forward to about a week maybe two weeks ago I started feeling a little weird but couldn’t put my finger on it. As the days went on the fatigue was getting really bad. I chalked it up to , maybe I’m not eating as well as I should . I started putting on a little weight… but I looked it more than weighed it…  my dad came up and visited and if you look at the pictures my face looks puffy… hindsight is always 100%……

so just this last week I’ve been having weakness in my arms my legs a general dis ease and mild nausea… I was really thinking it was just well I wasn’t walking enough it was hot outside it was multiple things that I need to get back in tune….. then the other night I had what I thought was a gallbladder attack waking up at 2 o’clock in the morning and just trying to wait out the pain… I did and was able to go back to sleep.

The next morning I contacted my oncologist and they said to contact my GP so I did. They ended up after me insisting, letting me talk to a triage nurse who thought I was having a heart event. He got me into another GP very next day who ordered blood tests and based on one of the tests thought that I might have a blood clot so we get a CT scan the following morning and there’s nothing to be seen.  my heart is OK my lungs are OK but I do have a cyst and a nodule on my thyroid…. OK lots of people have thyroid nodules and cysts no big deal right….

before I could even get home from that appointment The doctor calls me and says please turn around and go straight to the emergency room my TSH level for my thyroid is 259 a normal scale for those levels is .4 to 4.0!!!

she believes I could be having some kind of thyroid storm…. in her career she’s never seen anyone with numbers that high and my T4 is nonexistent….

so basically my thyroid is not working at all! Thank you family genetics!! my mother had this my brothers both had this,  my brother James barely got treated Within the last two years because he wasn’t taking care of his health… 

so I spent the day in the emergency room with them  deciding what they were going to do with me… my vitals looked OK so they didn’t want to treat me but they did eventually contact an endocrinologist that ended up giving me a IV of levothyroxine …. so now I am diagnosed with hypothyroidism another pill I will have to take for the rest of my life ! yes it’s not cancer I am grateful at least so far as we know ! I have do have an ultrasound coming up for my thyroid to take a look at the cyst and the nodule…. Which now that they’ve done the CT scan I’m gonna have to find out if it’s even necessary or what our next steps are! they may want to do a biopsy but I’m not sure so I will keep it documented here… i’m glad they got it figured out because I got a taste of the good life and I want it back I never wanna feel so sick and tired ever again. And I think I’ve had enough feeling sick and tired🤣🤣🤣

A sweet friend of mine says that the universe is conspiring to drive me towards optimal health so that’s what I’m gonna hold onto!!

Thank you for letting me vent !

Attached are a photo of me in Ireland where I feel pretty amazing and then a photo of when my dad came to visit and I look like a different person!

1 foot in front of the other!
