Mission!

I am on a mission!

Philip bought me a book last week called "The Hidden Epidemic - my journey to thyroid health". I have been reading this book and my eyes have been opened! So much so that I am making an appointment with an endocrinologist for both Stacey and I. I am amazed at how common an underactive Thyroid is and how often it is misdiagnosed or treated. Despite having been on Eltroxin for YEARS now, I still have a lot of the symptoms which tells me that I am not being treated properly and probably need Tertroxin (T3). I have to go and see my GP this week, as my prescription needs renewing so I will need another blood test and I am going to talk to him about it.

The really frightening thing is, how many children are BORN with an under-active thyroid. Having read this book I am convinced that Stacey has the same problem as I do, and no matter how strict an eating regime we follow, until one's thyroid is in balance one will not lose any weight.

Philip and I had a discussion too and as a family we are going to try and refocus - on our health, on our family and on our home. We have had too many distractions over the past year and its time to pull together and get back on track.
