Introduction

This is me, This is my story. My story of being diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

About a week ago, I went to my doctor appointment. It was just a normal yearly check-up type thing. After talking with a friend about all the weird symptoms I was having lately, she advised me to have my doctor check my thyroid. So, I did, and he felt my throat and talked like he didn't think I had a problem with my thyroid, but he couldn't by law, not order the blood work. 

So, 2, or 3, days ago, I got the call I had been waiting on. The results were in. I had a disease called Hypothyroidism. I did what I normally do when I need answers, I Googled it! This is what Google stated: Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone.

The more I researched and talked to people with thyroid conditions, the more I realized. I could have had this most of my life and never knew it! But why? How can a condition that is more common than breast cancer be so overlooked? I continue to look for answers, and meanwhile, I am going to do what ever I can do to help spread the knowledge myself. So, I decided to start this blog, hoping to inspire others or at least get the word out to CHECK YOUR THYROID to everyone, everywhere. So, come along with me on this journey to learn, inspire and educate others. Let us spread the truth about Thyroid Awareness all over the world!
