Diet And Drugs
Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same. My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active.

You both certainly get a lot of exercise with all of that cleaning! I often wish I had a more physical job. It would be refreshing!

ReplyDeleteFunnily enough we found 2 massive kaftans the other day at the big house we were cleaning, we thought perhaps Demis Roussos had been visting...
DeleteSee you tomorrow!

What a busy time you’ve had! Hope you are having a lovely few days off and enjoying some wonderful weather.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the Minack Theatre brought back all kinds of memories for us. We love walking around Porthcurno and have passed the theatre many times but have never actually gone to a performance. Suzanne Vega is a blast from my past too. She’s great.
Sounds like you have a great community spirit. What a kind offer from the Vicar. Lovely to see you two enjoying yourself with the wine-French I noticed!
Congrats on those new jobs!

Thanks Sft - Porthcurno is a stunning beach, we always think it looks really exotic...
DeleteWe do have lots of lovely folks around us & the vicar is just a sweet woman who everyone loves!
