Blank and Blur - below is a writing entry found on my laptop, dated October 2007 - a year before I was diagnosed; a year before I knew there was anything wrong with me. Thyroid Disease is real, and it's not one of those things caused by your thinking that you're ill.
'I’m lost for words: I’m completely and utterly lost for words. Nothing is swirling in my head; no complex mixture of thoughts – hell, not even something downright simple. What is this? A trap of writers block? Yet I’ve not even claimed myself enough to have that title standing over me. So what? Am I ready to begin? Yet again time is crawling behind me, lashing it’s claws at me and striking deep, sickening holes in me; holes which weep oceans of red-brown blood; blood which trickles down my skin and sinks into the next gash; the ocean flowing like lava from a volcano, burning, sizzling, steaming, melting my skin.

I was first diagnosed with underactive thyroid 3 months ago and had been on synthroid but it doesn't work. So I tried natural porcine thyroid . Now, I can sleep well and wake up ready to start my day.
Hi, only three months ago? You know it can take up to six months for all symptoms to go away?
