Cocktail?

of drugs. lol.

Mmmmm yummy pills.... ugh? Thyroids driving me nuts, have now taken drastic 'alt' therapeutic steps. In my previous whinge about my thyroid dysfunction, a random doctor person offered I should be taking selenium, not thyroxine and most certainly not iodine (that was a joke, that whole swallowing oceans of Iodine, I wasn't really going to).

The interesting thing about that is that selenium is not a naturally occurring mineral in New Zealand soils, so I would have to concur that indeed selenium could be an issue. So I went to the health food shop at St lukes last night and walked out with a bunch of advice, a business card and 2 bottles of pills. One was selenium, and the other was some funky ass "thyroid activator". 'Don't keep taking it once you're done' she told me as its only meant to kick start the stupid thyroid into action. It was hard not to take her seriously as she began discussing the finer points of T3 and T4 levels and ranges in blood tests. I was impressed.

So this morning I've had my marmite on toast and my bunch of pills. I feel like an old lady, someone needs to buy me one of those plastic pill boxes with the days of the weeks on the lid. Gay.

Also..... 3 sleeps till school, Im excited. I have at least 5 classmates in all my 3 papers, the networking has begun as we all prepare to return to University for the semester, Im glad to be having classes with the kids again, and Im releived I will have people I know who can help me take notes during my timetable clash when I am not there. I remember returning to Uni in 2005 and NOT being excited, so this is a defnite change. doing the readings ahead of time has also been good, Im only halfway, but some nerding out is better than none.
