Netflix Day!!!!

Netflix Day- Day spent in bed watching Netflix due to high levels of yuck.

Today is Netflix Day.  Officially and unofficially.

Found out today that I have Hypothyroidism.  My mom has it and my brother has it.  I figured I'd get here soon, too.  It's not uncommon to get more than one autoimmune disease when you already have one.  If your body's already attacking one system, why not another?  I wasn't surprised I had Hypothyroidism.  I was pissed, but not surprised.  So, one more disease to add to my list of diseases and conditions.

I've always struggled with my weight.  I have to work my arse off not weigh five hundred pounds.  And I do work my arse off.  That's why I knew something was up when diet and exercise weren't doing it.

I hardly eat.  Ever.  I eat about one meal a day.  When I do eat, it's very healthy.  I don't eat one meal a day on purpose.  I get nauseated, and honestly, I don't get hungry that often.  I eat when I'm hungry, don't eat when I'm not.  Simple as that.  I work out hard.  I do intense work outs.  How can someone who works out hard and eats very healthy gain six pounds in a week and a half?  Hypothyroidism.  It wasn't a mystery at all. With it so rampant in my family, that was my first thought.  It had to be.  Turns out I was right.  Boo for being right.

They test my husband at every Type one Diabetes check up he has, because once you have one auto-immune disease, it's easy to get others.  Since I have M.S., I used to always joke that I would get Hypothyroidism next.  Not a funny joke.  Well it is, but not really.  From now I on, only jokes about being filthy rich.

I woke up a little off.  Thank you multiple diseases ravaging my body.  This is not unusual, but finding out I have one more disease to add to the, what is it now, six diseases and conditions I'm rocking list, it was a bit of a put out.  I am soooo fatigued today.  I can't explain it.  Just super fatigued, and off.  There's no other way of saying it.  Tired, tired, fatigued, always in pain, and off.  Yeah, off.  So today is a Netflix day.  Gonna just put diseases and their symptoms away here for a second, and seriously distract myself.

Walking Dead, anyone?

Me, having my Netflix Day.
