Thyroids are so cool! This butterfly-shaped gland produces hormones that regulate your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and weight.
Unfortunately, 48,000 people are diagnosed with thyroid cancer every year in the U.S. alone. There is no known cause, and therefore no known prevention.
Please reblog in honor of Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month 💗
Nightly Thoughts...
In the next few days I will become very sick.
I had to stop taking the levathyroxne in order for my thyroid levels to climb to 30 so I can take the radiated iodine. They informed me by letting it climb so increasingly high that the iodine wont miss it's mark.
I have no clue how long it will take for my levels to get that high, but I heard people say they get pretty sick after 4-7 days of not taking their medication.
So yet again, I'm playing the waiting game while not being able to contribute to my household...
Anyway, to whom it may concern, I may stop blogging for a bit in the next few weeks. Just a heads up, I will return though.

It’s Thyroid’s special day!
Whether you’re a couch potato or a marathon runner, the thyroid tells the body how fast to go. This gland serves as the body’s thermostat, deciding how much energy to burn, and also how energetic you feel. It’s metabolism central, baby.
Thyroid surgery on Tuesday. I really hope I feel better afterwards. I just want to have the will to paint and work on my other projects again.
i've struggled with weight loss my entire life and got diagnosed with pcos last year. it was not until this year until i found out that my thyroid is not working properly and that i have hyperthyroidism. my thyroid is enlarged and i have tons of knots around it. the surgery is late september and i can't say and lie that i'm not TERRIFIED of the weight gain, i suppose they're going for a full removal (if possible). they're currently adjustig my dose every 10 days to normalize my hyperthyroidism and it's already working (not perfect yet though).
i have cried blood sweat and tears for the last 2 years trying to lose the weight that i have, even though my body was working against me the whole time. i know this is all goes away once we find the perfect dosage for me after the surgery but the internet says it can take up to several months to find it and i'm trying really hard not to lose my shit as i feel like i'm gonna gain all the weight back and take many steps back from the person i want to be. i'm scared of what life is gonna be like after.
I hate when people are like "you're not obese" like yes I fucking am??? My bmi is way too high and like I feel sick from it physically. Like just cos I have/had health issues that caused it doesn't mean I'm not still obese like, fuck off don't under mind my illness?? Maybe if you didn't associate fat with being bad you wouldn't feel the need to say that
