45

I went to Gribbles Lab today to do some blood test. The nurse said my veins are small. She also asked me if I lost weight because my veins are mobile! Sound so scary. She said don't blame her if she can't take out my blood during the first try. She thought I lost weight purposely. Everyone thought I'm not eating well. I told everyone that I eat a lot. And some people thought I went for a diet plan. Haih~ I weighed myself again before leaving the building. I'm now 45kg. I keep losing weight without realising it. My pants are getting looser and looser now. I can now fit in to clothes that was too fit for me when I was in Perth. This is not a good way to lose weight. =(

Rx

Currently on carbimazole 20mg bd and propranolol 20mg bd. Need to get some tests done before the next appointment.

46.8

Today, I weighed myself for the first time since I came back from Perth. I was about 50-52kg in Perth. Now, I'm 46.8kg. I never thought that I would be under 50kg due to hyperthyroidism. My blood test results have shown that I have hyperthyroidism. My T4 was double of the upper limit of normal range. My TSH was seriously low compared to the usual range. I was shocked to see the result. Fortunately, it's curable. I just need to take some medications and hopefully it'll be back in control.

I didn't realise that I actually have symptoms of hyperthyroidism. The doctor in polyclinic asked if I had palpitations and I said no. When I went home that day, I felt my heartbeat. It's definitely palpitation. My heart palpitates even when I'm not doing anything, just lying on my couch and watching tv. I know I suffered from some tremor since long time ago. I thought it was normal when you're a bit nervous in front of strangers. I didn't know it's something wrong with my T4 and TSH levels until last week. Another thing is I had been suffering from profused sweating since I came back to Malaysia. Heat intolerance is one of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. I guess I'll be on some medications form tomorrow onwards. I hope to get well soon although I know that it won't be that soon.

Will be flying to Kuching tomorrow. One day trip to Kuching. I guess this is the first time I board a plane without any luggage, just some important documents. I can just proceed to departure gate when I reach the airport tomorrow mane. Cool! Hopefully everything can be done before lunch time.

I've been back for quite some time and that's how long my blog was abandoned for. Where has the passion for blogging gone to? I have no idea. I rather spend time watching tv than blogging. Guess I'm just being lazy. Still waiting for my letter from KKM.
