roundrachel · 3rd April, 2009

Well, been to the doctor today for the results of all the tests Ive been having around my glandular fever/ jaundice/ fatigue etc. Turns out I have an underactive thyroid, probably brought on by my very low immune system. The Dr seems to think it'll rectify itself and is a temporary thing. However I can 'expect to gain significant weight'. Until I'm better.

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!

It's the last thing I need. I've been poorly for 7 weeks now and have put on some weight but thought it was down to lack of activity as I've been sleeping about 18 hours a day. However, this time there actually IS a medical reason for my weight gain (a stone in 5 weeks). So annoyed. And so frustrated there's nothing I, or they can do to make it better.

Was so looking forward to the summer weather and wearing my new clothes. Now they're all getting too tight and I'm losing confidence by the day.

This is just what I dont need. I want to be well, and for all my hard work not to be thrown down the drain because my body doesn't work properly.

Sorry for wallowing :-( xxx
