Doing the Happy Dance

After a three-year roller coaster that took me through all the different levels of hell, I am finally leaving the Thyroidzilla Amusement Park. I just received a call from my doctor's nurse, who told me that my THS levels came back PERFECT! I don't have to change my dosage or go back to the vampires for a whole year! I feel like I've just been told that I'm in remission, that feeling as good as I have the past two months isn't just a fluke, that I'm going to live.

The nightmare is over. For now.

Very cool! Isn't it nice when you get good news from a doctor for a change?!

Awesome News!!!

I seriously feel like I've been pulled back from the brink. I know Hashimoto's Disease--on its own--isn't life-threatening, but it surely is life-ending. It's a soul-sucking disease.

Have you ever played Zelda, The Ocarina of Time? Hashimoto's feels like when those naked zombies jump on and hump the life out of you.

I'm not exaggerating!

That video is hilarious, by the way, to anyone who's played this game.

Watch it all the way through.

Hallelujah and Amen!!!! There isn't a fun name for opposite disease it's just plin old hyperthyroidism and that's my current pain in the asker. Doc says it's time to cure me and ran all the tests. I hope I'm dancin' on the ceiling with joy like you when we're done with all the crapola!!!!! In the meantime, I'm just sick & tired of being sick and tired. But I'm very, very happy for you!!!!
