Usually I would write about this kind of stuff in my livejournal, but now that they have that stupid ad before you can enjoy your experience, I have totally been taken away from writing there now. It's their way of getting you to purchase an ad-free account... it might be working, too.
Anyway...
Recently my doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism. Actually, my doctor never said I had this condition, she just mentioned that the reason for my coldness and tiredness, and a bit of a weight gain is because my thyroid isn't producing enough... and that if I don't take this medication called Synthroid (which is basically a mirrored version of the hormone needed but I've heard it doesn't help you PRODUCE after you're taken off it) then I will get fat. Well, I had to give this condition a name so everything she explained basically led to hypothyroidism... I basically found out about this after a blood test I had to take for some lumps that I received shortly after my arrival back to Canada from Japan. Turns out the lumps are benign and most likely because of parasites that I have from eating sushi in Japan. Then they discovered that my thryoid hormone levels were a bit off than the standard...
