❓ Bit personal might delete it later 💁🏼‍♀️BUT ➡️ So it’s 2 years in to my Graves’ disease journey (well since diagnosis at least) truth is it’s took me past a point I didn’t know if I could recover from mentally and physically , especially the past 12 months during 2019. I remember a couple of specific moments where I just could not see past what was going on. This smile means more than you can imagine! Two years on I’m finally closer to euthyroid than ever , (albeit I did have RAI ) I was not able to establish a positive response on antithyroid medication , so the next port of call was Radioactive iodine ☢️ . I had this 7 months ago (November 2019), I can honestly say I am absolutely happy with the decision and would have accepted the treatment sooner if I knew then, what I know now. So now I’m finding a Levothyroxin balance then I can resume and surpass my journey in life and work, before all of this started. If you’re reading this because it’s tags that you follow for your healing , just know that is can and will get better!! You HAVE to keep going , no matter how low you get , speak with a counsellor, find a good GP and Endo , learn about blood work like your life depends on it 🩸 (basically it does💁🏼‍♀️) and what your optimum numbers are for YOU ... and keep pushing this is your battle no one else’s don’t take it personally when people don’t understand why you can’t function right , it’s not their fault 💯 join support groups on Facebook , if you want to know which ones just ask me I will send them to you, they have been invaluable to keeping me going through every stage of this journey and I don’t exaggerate when I say it’s been soul destroying but I finally feel like I’m through the other side of the fog and continuing to build. The thought of losing everything I have ever worked for due to Graves took me to a very dark place but I’m so glad to say I came through it and I thank The higher powers for that 💖💜 I might even delete this because it’s a bit personal ha but yeah #KEEPGOING #hyperthyroidism #gravesdisease #hypothyroidism #thyroidhealing #positivemindset #gravesdisease #healing
