Hyperthyroidism

It all began with the sudden lost in weight.

Towards the end of May, after one infection on my skin for 2 months or so, I was rather shocked. I was hitting the gym one day to discover the 62kg of weight I maintained months dropped to 58kg without any particular reason. After another month, my weight dropped another 2kg. My shorts began to give way and became damn loose on me. 

I thought the main cause was stress. 

I also realised the limbs tremble ever since I recovered from the infection as well. I thought it might some little side effect from the medicine I took for the infection. 

I went for a 2.5 months continuous teaching in the same Secondary School. I was requested to replace a teacher who went for a course in NIE. As time passed, people started to notice I got thinner my cheek became much thinner as well.

After the term was over, I weighed myself and was distraught...

It was fifty freaking three kg. 

I decided to bring it up to the doctor when I was having pre-op consultation for the excision of the sebaceous cyst on my back. During the consultation, we suspected the probably case of thyroidism. A lifelong condition my mum had more than 10 years back... 

I may appear like we finally know the answer and feel like normal. But deep down I thought it was a freaking women disease. Freaking no guy around me got this kind of disease. I began to hate myself for having yet another woman-like thingy. When I was young, I looked totally like a girl on makeup. I was told my gestures are very girl like. There were many times I start questioning myself if I was born the wrong gender when I had depression. 

I finally got through the bad times, but how come these things just keep coming back to me... -_-

After a couple of blood tests and ultrasound test, it was confirmed to be hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism. Due to this condition, I had to once again, postponed my operation... 

Oh wells, I had to be observed... I was given medicine worth a few weeks to see how before I can continue my operation. 

Maybe this might be a good thing to slim down my little tummy to reveal my last 2 packs. But I will still rather regain my original weight! Time to bulk up!!! Protein powder? Hehe.
