RR , thank you!
Harriet , Today, I noticed the Tinnitus and found long loose hairs about 4 times!
It's so discouraging. But I keep hoping for the best and try to put it out of my mind, how Dr. asked me if I've ever had Thyroid cancer or nodules removed from my Thyroid before.
I keep telling myself, to just "wait" until I get those results in mid-February. I don't want to dwell on what could be possible, if everything can be normal, when I'm checked again, because I would have used up so much wasted "worry-energy". Know what I mean?
I was 173.3 Lbs. this a.m., I felt like I was freezing to death, a few times, and right now, it's 10 p.m., and I'm having those terrible hunger pangs again.
I'm not supposed to eat this late, because of gastritis and GERD acting up, so I won't eat now. I just need to deal with it, the best as I can. Once, when I was obese, one Dr. who was a rheumatologist, who was very rude-like, about heavier women losing weight, once said: "When you go to bed hungry, you know that you're losing weight!" Now, I don't know, after all these years later, after no longer having him as a Dr., if I want to hug him, or love him! Because, on one hand, he's right!
But on the other hand, he had a very negative way of "motivating" weight loss in me. My primary care Dr. is so kind, his attitude is supportive, and very nice. He told me, when my Thyroid levels out, I'll gain a few pounds. But he didn't bat an eye, I said "OH NO!"
But as BFF said to me, she allows herself a 5 - 10 Lbs. leeway, when it comes to gaining weight and her same sizes of clothes. She and I, both agreed, how a little weight gain is nothing, to finally feeling better and all those bad symptom turn-around, which come with the weight gain. I'll hang in there, until mid-February, and hope I'll get a good report. I think I'll go drink some water, which might help the hunger pangs.
A girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do!
RR, I read your post in PWYC and your Dr. is super nice and motivating!
That's great.
Oops.
I forgot. My exercise for today, were 15 minutes of stretches, for the calves/ankles, twice, and the shoulder-back stretches in the doorway, from shoulder PT exercises. I did 10 minutes of race-walking and then 15-minutes of light to moderate walking, helped put away groceries from Costco, and did light housework for about 45 minutes. It was a "light" day, for activity for me, compared to yesterday. Oh, I just remembered, how last night, I posted I'd try to do yoga today, but I didn't. I DID do those stretches though. So that's good.
TTFN.
