2016
2015, lots of ups and downs... My goal of being back to fully healthy 2years after diagnosis is almost here.... Physical I have 1 stone left to lose and a little more work on my fitness and I'm there. Mentally, lots of work to do. The mission to love myself is a go!
Reminder to myself...
Pain and disappointment is only temporary. You may feel devastated, worthless and hate yourself right now, but things will get better and you are not a complete fuck up. Keep on swimming, things will get brighter.
EndoĀ disappointment
My appointment with an endocrinologist didnāt exactly turn out as positively as i had hoped.
I had a few tests done and iām pretty muchĀ back to square one.Ā Meds have gone down....a month on from that..... iām feeling slow and tired, forgetful and my hair has started noticeably thinning out....gaining weight again.....back to fed up.Ā
ugh.
Procrastination
.... I am so productive at doing everything else.... But what is the most important task. Instead of working on my research project.... I have washed all my clothes, ironed, changed the sheets, meal prepped for the week, written my shopping list, edited my fitness timetable, bought new sports gear, cleaned the house, fixed my broken sunglasses.... I am the most ineffective superwoman ever.... Silver lining, I have an organised-ish clean house!
Brain fog
It creeps in and hits you without notice....... One day, completely fine and coherent.... the next.....blaaaaaahhhh and i canāt even communicate consistently on a basic level.Ā
Not helpful when iām trying to finish off my research paper.....Ā
Endocrinologist day!
Finally arrived... GP blood test in the morning and endocrinologist this afternoon. How many bloody tests can I clock up in one day I wonder....
Food
Cooking procrastination ...hummus, raw organic banana ice-cream and fresh fruit jelly :). This diet thing isnāt so bad... gluten is in more things than you think.... itās a sneaky little critter!Ā
#procrastination #hypodiet #learningĀ
Breakfast
Chai coconut milk pudding.... Topped with peach! A gluten/lactose free breakfast isn't so bad!
Dissertation
....i want my life back! Can you be finished soon please?!Ā
Thanks x
Diet
What diet should a super active but symptomatic hypo be on? It is proving impossible to find something that works for me.Ā
Lactose/semi gluten free/leaning towards paleo whenever i can (occasionally i give in or eat small amount), is as far as iāve gone and i find that difficult when iām busy or need a quick fuel before training.Ā
ummm, maybe i just need to commit more?? Which would be easier if i knew exactly what to eat/what not to eat and why (being a scientist i like solid well researched facts, not just slight links)ā¦.. research time!Ā
Autoimmune paleo maybe?Ā
Literally the only thing Iāve read that said it will make us feel better is 100% gluten free; absolutely strict, tons of educating and discipline, NO gluten at ALL. Iād say itās impossible but an old family friend is so deathly ALLERGIC to gluten that he has his own pots, pans, utensils and sections in the fridge and pantry. So if he can cut it out (he did it before GF was ācoolā and used by suburban housewives and personal trainers so there was like NOTHING available to him, product or education wise) and still maintain his awesome badass biker billiards genius lifestyle because his life depends on it, I think we can do it because our symptoms do
Thank you for taking the time to read and reply :). I think i might try and be completely gluten free for a month and see what happens! Fingers crossed! Iāll keep your badass friend in mind when iām craving all the yummy foods i shouldnāt have! :)
Progress
Endo has been booked! ...that is all...Ā
xXx
Worry
Ever been so worried that it keeps you awake at night? That's where I'm at. I worry so much that I can't sleep, then exhaustion hits, I feel awful and the next day is a struggle. The stupid thing is that a good nights sleep would probably help me feel better.... My body is an idiot.

Naps
Sometimes you just need to be kind to your body. Exhausted and lucky that I have time to have a quick rest! Masters year has been a great life change so far. Thyroid is kicking my butt today.
On the look out for an endocrinologist
The search to find a good one....which is proving harder than i thought it would.
MY GP isnāt willing to work with me and isnāt listening to how i feel at all. I am more than just a TSH number!!!! I think after years (started when i was 16, iām now 26)Ā of feeling rubbish and not being properly diagnosed (diagnosis happened last May (2014)) and now having medication levels being changed constantly itās time to find a specialist.Ā
What if they canāt help me either? Hello anxiety, nice to meet you....not... blegh.Ā
I feel like i am overreacting a little, but iām not sure if i am? (sounds stupid i know) I just want to feel good and healthy again.Ā
Man up and push on time! I just find it hard sometimes.Ā
Medication battles
A little over 1 years since diagnosis and Iāve finally started enjoying life and feeling like my fitness is bouncing back, when i received that gut turning phone call from my Dr..... āyour medication is too high, we need to reduce itā.... constant battle to keep fighting.Ā
If you don't have the side effects and are finally feeling well (for the first time in maybe 6 years?!?) itās not the conversation you want to have.Ā
...the journey continues.....
