mostly on the bottom part of the wheel lately

yeah? ok first, i have to move out again. this would be my 4th move in my 4-years of working life. why? coz someone else just bought the unit we're renting and they, the new owners, won't rent it out. i have to find a new place before April ends. and looking around with no car is definitely a pain in the A. anyway, thanks to Ryan for patiently playing my bodyguard, now we know what his 6-ft stature is for. secondly, i've been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. it's not that serious, but i have to avoid most of my favorite things in life, which really stinks. like coffee for instance; i just went from 2-3 cups of "12" to 1 cup of "6" per day; this is to lessen the palpitations. i have to minimize my sugar intake also, which translates to chocolates (waah!), so i don't get too hyperactive. and last but definitely not the least, i can NOT/must NOT eat crabs, shrimps and other shelled sea food since they are rich in iodine, which i assume i must lessen (no iodized salt then too!). my FT4 (i think that's the enzyme being secreted by the thyroid) are 4 times the normal level and i have to take medication for AT LEAST a month. after a month, they'll take my blood again to check my FT4 level and adjust the meds as necessary. until then, no crabs and no heavy exercise (but i insist on playing badminton and take my hiphop dance classes). on the bright side, i intend to take advantage of this anomaly, try to lose more weight, having summer time as my excuse to do so. but since i can't exercise as much, i picture i'd be thin yet still flabby. yuck! anyway, in case you were wondering, i apparently have most of the symptoms already, i just didn't think they were related...

• i am hyperactive (but you all know that's really natural for me)
• i can eat a lot (and i mean, a LOT) and not gain weight easily, i can lose weight easily also
• i always feel hot (even when everybody's shivering, at night i sleep with the aircon and fan on)
• my fingers and hands are slightly trembling (i just thought i was pasmado, without the sweating)
• i get tired easily, and always catching my breath (i wheeze, yuck!)
• i have trouble sleeping at night, but honestly Jonas' Sleepasil usually works

if you feel any of these symptoms, you might want to have you thyroid glands checked. also, if you feel the opposite of these symptoms (like gaining weight easily, feeling cold, etc..), you might want to have you thyroids checked also for hypothyroidism. anyway, hopefully in the next weeks or so, i'll get back to the top of the wheel again. and i'm hoping that would include a new apartment, and a more manageable thyroid problem, among other things. i'm almost there, i could feel it. but a push up from you is always welcome, so let me thank you in advance.
