Good Fantastic Morning!

23 days after my post-op of total Thyroidectomy. I'm glad that the operation is successful and the scar is healing nicely.

I'm grateful that I have another 21 days  medical leaves. I couldn't be happier.

I'm grateful that I'm healthy.

I'm grateful that I'm still alive despite having admitted to the causality unit for my DKA and it resolves after just a day.

I'm grateful that my family is still staying as 1 strong unit of team.

I'm grateful for my boyfriend who's been taking care of me while I'm admitted in the ward. For the financial and moral support.

I'm grateful that I still have my career.

I have a lot to be thankful for.

I Can Wait Forever-Air Supply (lyrics)

Been playing this song over and over again. Am I waiting for my boyfriend? No, I don't have one and I planned to not to pressure myself upon this marriage issues. I do want to love and be loved but I think it was too risky to hurt myself at the end of the day so I don't want to think about love at this moment. My focus now is more to myself, my diabetes and hyperthyroid, my parents, my siblings and also my pets which consist of lots of fishes and adopted kitty as well as the turtles.



Enjoy the songs and I hope it will haunt you as well.



Take care.

Admitted to the hospital for 2 months

 Who cares? If I'm admitted for how many months, no one cares but who cares? I still want to share my experience.

First I'm admitted because of dKa( Diabetesketoneacidosis), due to uncontrolled BG. Then, they( the doctors) plan to get me a total thyroidectormy but after been admitted for 2 months, my TSH is still high it was cancelled again. I wondered is it because of my medication dosage or what but it seems like it really hard to control.

Will get back to you.

What Should You Know About Hyperthyroid?

As a hyperthyroid patients, I will have or felt many kind of symptoms that will cause the body to work too fast that will result in:

*Hand tremors
*Palpitations
* Excessive sweating (dislike of the heat)
*High level of nervousness
*Increased appetite but at the same time losing weight too
* Problems in breathing

This is based on what I felt and it will vary from the other Hyperthyroid patients. From what I read, the excitability can eventually lead to death from the exhaustion of the body.


THE DIET

~ Do supporting the body by eating any multivitamins to replace the nutrients

~ Eat a lot of soya products, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, pears  or spinach as it will suppress the thyroid    function

~Control stress

~Regular exercise

~ Maintain regular sleep cycle

AND AVOID OR DO NOT DRINK: coffee, coke or black tea because the caffeine in them will increase the metabolic rate. 

When I First Found out about my Hyperthyroidism

A few years ago, when the doctor said that I was having a hyperthyroid, I was shocked and a bit confused. I still remember that I'll almost cried when the doctor said it to me. I know, I'm overreacting. I thought that I was going to die over this "HYPERTHYROID".But how would you feel, when you're only13/14 years old & you don't even know what is "HYPERTHYROID" is all about and someone told you that you're having it inside your body? isn't it frightening? I am.

Thanks to my mum for being the first one who noticed about it at first. My mum said she noticed that I'm having it when saw how drastically my mood, my appetite and my weight had changed.She know something is wrong and that's how my journey as a "HYPERTHYROID" patients started.
