So the doctor did some blood work and I had an MRI done. Here's what been found outvso far. My blood work has shown that my thyroid levels are high. The doctor wants me tovget my thyroid tested again in a few months. Then we'll see where we need to go from there. My MRI showed that my brain is to big for my skull. There's not really anything that can be done about. I pretty much just have to be careful out in the heat and I'm more prone to headaches.
Ernies been amazing while I've been dealing with this. I know he's concerned about what's going on. My dad of all people hurt me by what ge had to say when I told him what we've found out so far. He told me with my thyroid it would explain why I'm so fat. My thyroid can be controlled by meds. Thanks dad for making me feel like shit about myself once again. I find it pretty amazing that I'm the size I am with my thyroid levels high a lot of people are a lot bigger. I go on thyroid meds I'm goingvto lose weight. Ill never be a twig I wouldn't look good that tiny. I have to say it reallt bothers me I know it shouldn't. It never fails tho what family says cuts the deepest.
Hey lady, I've been reading on your situation through fb. And I'm glad they're getting the results you need. I just wanted to say, through all the pain , you still have an awesome family, (the immediate one) and you still are able to move on once you get a handle on things. So far you sound pretty lucky, with the exception of the pain, sorry for that. I know what you mean by family, I think my family just tolerates me, because of the kids. My sister once called me an idiot and a loser. I will never forget those words from her. But i use it, to prove to her, may not be the richest, or the smartest, or the skinny one, i do know i have family who loves me, for who i am, and not what you wanted me to be. Stay strong, try not to dwell on anyone thing for to long, and your skinnier, and younger than me!! so there!!
