I hate taking medicine. It is really sort of comical the aversion I have to pills. I think it really stems from denial that I have am dependent on them to maintain proper thyroid function in my body. A little backstory. When I was a junior in high school, I was diagnosed with Graves Disease. What followed was radioactive iodine and the obliteration of a functioning thyroid. With that came the need to take a pill for the rest of my life. Meet Synthroid my constant companion in the form of a pill. Y'all did I mention I have hated this edict from the doctors for the total of my adult life. Being the stinker that I am, I would say for more than half of that adult life I have refused to take this medication. Now I get it. Some of you are probably like, "What the heck! Just take the pill!" And I couldn't agree more. Especially when my hair starts to fall out, my skin is a mess, my mood dips into a depression, and I walk around with brain fog. So you would think I would just take the dang thing. Starting today, I will be taking this pill. I am also adding B12 to the mix as it appears to be a deficiency I am also struggling with. From my last visit to the doctor, I also know that cholesterol and pre-diabetes is an issue. So here we go. A journey to better health. Hop on and let's see where 2020 takes us.
