How does the thyroid fit in to the puzzle?

Just over 2 weeks ago, I wrote, quite angrily, about my second visit to the new doctor. He'd messed up my appointment time and prescribed melatonin which made me feel worse... Ahead of returning to see him on Tuesday and having taken Tertroxin for 2 weeks, I am pleased, nervous and intrigued to report that …

Sugar!

Last night at 3:30am I came across this  site while researching sugar and it's affect on our bodies. There's a heap of information online that is repetitive and scientific about how the body processes sugar but that wasn't what I was looking for. Earlier in the day I'd enjoyed a large piece of chocolate cake at …

Dismissing

I dismissed a year of struggle today, chatting to another mum on the kindy pickup about jobs.  Mostly when I mention that I work from home people nod approvingly especially when they've got kids because they know it affords you flexibility. She asked how I managed it and I said 'last year I got a virus …

I have a lot to say

Congratulations!

Sometimes you've got to work really hard to find things to congratulate yourself on during the day. Today, I set up a travel blog, something I've been wanting to do for months now. But I feel dissatisfied at the end of the day. Why? Shouldn't I congratulate myself on achieving this? Maybe it's prickling skin …

Return of the symptoms

Does the return of symptoms mean you're getting worse? Or alternatively, not getting better? Or as I suspect, that I've been pushing the limits of what I can realistically do without falling over for probably a month now?  The last few days I've felt the return of the skin prickling all over my arms, scalp, face …

It’s funny…

Reading back over my post about insomnia and how I promised to take the Circadin for one more week to see how it went, well, that following night, I stopped taking it.  A week isn't really long enough for something to take affect, but I just didn't want to waste any more time with drowsiness and …
