Hopefully this is the last health-type post I'll need to put in for awhile. Keeping it short and sweet as possibly possible, coz health is not what this blog is about
The doctors have found a whole raft of food intolerances, (well, one food intolerance which applies to a whole raft of foods - fructose intolerance) which is going to take careful dietary management under care of a dietician as I discover which foods I now can and can't eat without making myself ill, and....
- more importantly, have discovered that I have Hashimoto's disease.
This is to do with severe underfunctioning of the thyroid gland, needing medication. This is what has been making me so tired for all these months.
The food intolerances (which have simply decided to develop at this point in my life) explain why I have so much acid in my digestive system and have trouble sitting up at times when I'm feeling particularily acidic or crampy, and generally why I feel so sick.
It all makes sense now, doesn't it :-)
I'm rapt - answers to my problems, and paths ahead of me to fix them!
It'll take about a month for the Hashimoto's meds to kick in, but I hope to be much much better aften then :-) I feel a lot more confident about doing the Thistle Thread Masterclass at the end of April now :-)
Meanwhile, just one more month in bed! Yaaay! (after all this time, one month is nothing!)
