Of Me And Hyperthyroidism
February 21, 2008I was hospitalized for throat sores. I wasn’t able to eat for a week. As a result I lost 10 pounds. I was already 130 lbs at the time, weight I got because of me playing volleyball. So I went back to work with a dwindling 120 pounds. People were really concerned about the weight I lost. One of my friend even cried when she saw me. For a month I believed that my weight loss was due to my being sick and all. I resorted to binging in food and beer thinking that calories can do it. As I was trying to bulk up myself, I noticed that I was boweling alot. 3 times a day max. I also felt muscle weakness, palpitation and tremors. The in-house doctor of our company started prescribing me vitamin and appetite inducers. I tried my best to eat alot but there’s something wrong. Then my doctor, alarmed, told me that I could have severe hyperthyroidism.
I got my bloodworks and it’s result weakened me in the knees. My T3 and T4 levels in my blood is 800% greater than the normal range. They asked me to take Tapdin 20 mg, and antithyroid. Right now the tremors have decreased and my appetite for food came back, though the palpitation still kicks in every now and then.
The moral of the story is: If you’re feeling sick, you might be sick. People like me have the wrong iffy feeling that I’ll only know many of my underlying illnesses. I’d like to tell you guys that its not practical wisdom to believe that what you dont know won’t kill you. This hyperthyroidism shit could’ve killed me had I not checked with the MDs. So I’d like to lift this article from www.endocrineweb.com. This can help people who think that they’re just thin when for all we know they might be experiencing hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism is a condition caused by the effects of too much thyroid hormone on tissues of the body. Although there are several different causes of hyperthyroidism, most of the symptoms that patients experience are the same regardless of the cause (see the list of symptoms below). Because the body’s metabolism is increased, patients often feel hotter than those around them and can slowly lose weight even though they may be eating more. The weight issue is confusing sometimes since some patients actually gain weight because of an increase in their appetite. Patients with hyperthyroidism usually experience fatigue at the end of the day, but have trouble sleeping. Trembling of the hands and a hard or irregular heartbeat (called palpitations) may develop. These individuals may become irritable and easily upset. When hyperthyroidism is severe, patients can suffer shortness of breath, chest pain, and muscle weakness. Usually the symptoms of hyperthyroidism are so gradual in their onset that patients don’t realize the symptoms until they become more severe. This means the symptoms may continue for weeks or months before patients fully realize that they are sick. In older people, some or all of the typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism may be absent, and the patient may just lose weight or become depressed.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR HYPERTHYROIDISM
- Anti-Thyroid Drugs — For patients with sustained forms of hyperthyroidism, such as Graves’ disease or toxic nodular goiter, antithyroid medications are often used.

Michael Cera: Celeb Crush For February
February 20, 2008Make it a lifetime. I was all wet when I saw him in Superbad. He was just super adorable there. My heart runs so fast when I see him smile. Maybe that’s where I got my palpitation. Haha. He plays Evan in Superbad and plays Paulie Bleeker in Juno. I wish I was the one on top of him on that chair. OMG! To cut it short I really heart him. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!

In My Office Chair, I slept
I just woke up from a 3-hour back breaking sleep in my office chair. And I tell you it wasn’t grand. First of all I failed to reply our must-reply-emails. And secondly, somebody took a picture of me sleeping with my mouth open. So either of the two things puts me in deep shit. I hate it. Anyways, things aren’t looking up here in our office. I’ve stayed here and all I can squeeze from my memory is that things never looked up for me and that I stayed long enough to feel remorse. I know that If someone from the office, someone bigdicked, reads this, he’d be stupid enough to write me up for "wreckless devastation of anothers feelings." How ridiculous right, but no?! Try to read on and feel the power of unwarranted vexation towards me in our office.
Something similar in my first year here at work. Some stupid faggot wrote me up because I replied-to-all saying that he shouldn’t have sent an email containing the list of those who will join in the company vacation, instead I replied that he shouldve just said "ALL EXCEPT ME". I was the one hurt motherfucker! He’s the same faggot who told me that I can’t take the morning shift in spite of my Doctor’s request. Being the kiss ass that he is he told the most high of all dickheads and together they wrote me up and gave me my first lesson in offfice correspondence — IN ALL NON-BUSINESS RELATED REPLIES ALWAYS END YOUR STATEMENT WITH A SMILEY OR HAHAHA. Unbelievable!
I can say that I’ve made myself very useful here in the office. Ive made our office won countless times in the Christmas and Halloween decorations, made the account’s volleybal varsity win it’s first championship trophy, I headed and hosted the first Valentines dating game here in the office. I can say that in the nearly three years that I’ve stayed. All the accomplishments that mattered to me weren’t the same way for our bigdicks!
Right now 3 peeps got their heads in the chopping board. 5 will leave for various reasons. Things are certainly bleak for us. I’ve asked myself a gazillion times if its worth staying. Yes! I have my reasons. That’s all I can say for now. As long as there are still people who are counting on me, I’ll stay.
So to my goddamn job, lets see another year of office stress. And lastly, the same faggot is rumored to be drafting my latest write up. God knows I can kill.
