About me

Currently 41 but turning 42 soon. Recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis which is asymptomatic at the moment. It is my aim to keep it that way but where do you even begin when there is so much yet so little on autoimmune illnesses.

Always been fit/healthy and rarely 'ill' up until recently when I opened pandora's box. No doubt that I have always been a worrier and a stress monkey which doesn't help thing especially when you start to discover things wrong with you. In turn that creates a viscous circle where you worry so much that it causes symptoms which in turn makes you worry even more. Breaking this cycle is going to be a huge challenge.

Am still hopeful that through some form of treatment it will magically restore my fertility and we will be able to have children but I'm also aware of the ultimatum from my partner.

I'm writing this blog to try and keep track of my moods, emotions and general life. Hopefully others will at least relate to this blog and possibly it might help them.
