One Life to Live

I am still, still alive! This is surely a miracle from God. :)

Two days ago (um...Friday night?) it took me two hours to fall asleep because I was twitchy, I kept jerking awake because my heart was pounding, and my mind generally was just restless. No, this isn't normal. Now, it's not taking so much effort for me to fall asleep! Hopefully things just continue to get...less hyper.

I find it interesting that 'fatigue' is listed as a symptom for both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. It seems that if you're too far on either end of the scale it doesn't help your body out at all. I made the mistake of thinking that if I was tired then I wasn't hyperthyroid...oops. Up until a week ago I felt fine and dandy and then all of a sudden...chest pain.

Right now I'm just light-headed and tired, but I can deal with that!

I am also at probably the lowest weight I have ever been at, which is not as attractive as it once seemed. I remember being at my heaviest weight and wishing I were teeny tiny and now I'm teeny tiny and I just feel unhealthy! People either assume I am naturally skinny, have an eating disorder, or am a very disciplined gym-rat. Frankly, I'm not sure anymore if any of those things are true! It's like dyeing your hair so frequently for so long that you forget what your natural hair color is. I also have much more sympathy for people with hormone-imbalances (any health issue) that have trouble losing weight.

Thanks for the positive thoughts and the prayers to the Almighty God!
