Taking care of your health is not a job that you remember to go to only every once in a while

Hyperthyroidism update – I posted last month about continues battle against hyperthyroidism and up to now, my problem with my thyroid gland was not yet resolved. Although some improvements have been noticed. (LOL – Is it really an improvement?) From being a hyperthyroid for almost a year, I am now diagnosed as having a subclinical hypothyroidism. Last June 27 I was about to undergo a subtotal thyroidectomy. The endocrinologist just wanted to make sure that everything’s ok so she requested for another laboratory exam. From the result of my last laboratory exam (that was last week of May) she told me that my overactive thyroid gland was already controlled because of the medicines but still I need to undergo a surgery. To our surprise, the day before the scheduled operation, I gave her my laboratory exam result and it shows that I am now in a hypothyroid condition. Hmmm… I really don’t know if I can consider this a miracle or was there an anomaly? Or was it just that my thyroid gland was acting too weird that my TSH level was elevated in a span of less than a month while my Ft3 and Ft4 was in a normal state…???

As of now I am totally confused. The palpitation is still here… my hair still falls out just like before… it never improved… my sleeping pattern was still abnormal… and still I get tired easily…. the only thing that improves was the trembling of the hands.

Anyway, I was checking my friendster account a while ago and my horoscope for today caught my attention. It says:

Taking care of your health is not a job that you remember to go to only every once in a while. It is something you have to integrate into your life every single day. The good news is, once you learn how to eat better and exercise more, it becomes easy to stick with it. Your self-discipline is stronger than ever, so you are in the best frame of mind possible to start a new fitness routine, join a gym, or invest in some new exercise equipment. It won’t take much to get you hooked on feeling good.

Another horoscope for today… hmmm masyado ng chumatsamba tong horoscope na to ah….

About the horoscope: It’s been a long time that I’ve requested to my father if he can make a table for the table tennis… Hmmm… I can smell a father-and-daughter-bonding here….. Lolz. I missed the old times when my father and I used to play basketball when I was in grade school… Maybe tomorrow or the next day we can start playing table tennis…
