14-01. Today was not the greatest of days. 2.5 years ago I was diagnosed with an overactive thyroid and after all that time of the doctor telling me that the medication he gave me should take it back to normal and "cure" me I found out today that it doesn't look likely. I was told that I now have to kill my thyroid off either by having it removed by surgery or by taking radioiodine. I will then be on thyroxine for the rest of my life. Joy. I wasn't very happy of being told this and then having to make a decision straight away so I have to go back in March (the day before my birthday, again - joy) and discuss it again then. I just can't wait to feel better again - not being constantly tired all the time will be the best thing.
