Healthy Me

I am tentatively thinking the remnants of the pelvic inflammatory disease I was diagnosed with and hospitalized for in May is gone.  *Fingers crossed* that it is well and truly gone.  That is not an illness I'd wish on my enemy.  It was very painful. 

My hypothyroid symptoms seem to have worsened over the last couple weeks.  Hair loss, skin, and weight are problems right now.  What I wouldn't give for a good fat burner right now.  I think it is the reformulated armour that is the problem.  I am on three grains, which is the highest I've ever been on, and still having symptoms.

It could also be my low iron too though or my reverse T3 problem (though the doc thought the armour would take care of that).  Blood tests next week will tell me!

If you have thyroid disease and keep getting eczema, you might want to have a full thyroid panel done to see if any of your thyroid hormones are out of whack.  I've noticed that whenever my thyroid disease isn't managed well, I need treatment for eczema but when it is managed well, the eczema clears up quickly.

I never put it together before until this past year.  I've lived with eczema for years and years and now I know what to do when it rears its itchy head!

Well, five days later and no additional weight loss.  I've been doing push-ups, squats, and stretches just to work on flexibility, thighs, and upper arms.  I don't want any wiggle when I'm wearing tank tops and shorts.  I was told today that I looked "very pretty" while at my daughters' cheerleading practice.  It felt good.

I've not used diet pills to lose weight but if you are considering it, make sure you check reviews from companies and individuals themselves (http://www.dietpillcomparison.net/ has some information), side effects, etc.  I always check for interactions and side effects on any medication and diet pills are no different.  Definitely do your homework!

Well, I am still hoping to get my hypothyroid symptoms gone (soon, soon, soon I hope).  The doctor switched me from a compounded Armour to regular Armour a month ago and I'm having problems.  I'm not sure if it's related to the new Armour or if it is related to the C. Diff. I got after I was hospitalized in May.  I've not felt well since May 15th! 

The house painting is coming along.  It's time to move onto the downstairs bathroom to brighten it up with paint and new bathroom fixtures.  Right now, my youngest won't even use that bathroom because she doesn't like it.  When I got up at 2:00 a.m. to go to the bathroom last night and saw a HUGE spider sitting there staring at me from the floor with it's long legs all creepily situated, I wasn't liking it that much either.  I guess I'll never outgrow my fear of spiders and seeing it in a creepy bathroom while half asleep sure does wake you right up!

In case you weren't aware of it and you use tanning beds to fake bake your skin, did you know the federal government is going to tax you on your tanning bed use starting today as part of the health care bill?
