Ashimoto's desease

Hi !

I'm happy to speak about that desease with you today because I'm not able to speak about it with my friends or family, or on my french lifestyle blogs.

Hashimoto's desease is a trouble with the Thyroid gland, who is smaller than usually. And it creates a lot of desagrements day after day. Even if it's not a fatal illness, it's very unpleasant.

Every night, it's a real figth against myself to sleep and I often play on my phone while my boyfriend is in a deep sleep.
So, I'm tired everyday, even if sometimes I succeed in sleeping a whole night, I'm still tired.
All of my body works slowly and my muscles are weaks and stiffs.

I became fater, year after year .I tryed to change it with a real healthy food, and I always eat healthy, but nothing changes. My body is not my friend, it's really hard to live with it and to be what I want to be. When I have to go somewhere with my boyfriend, my body is a real ennemy. I d'ont like what I can see in the mirror and even if I find a fashion style who fit on me, it's still boring.

Another kind of symptom is a real pale and dry skin, puffy and sad face. Since more of one year ago, I stopped to bite my nails and it's hard to have pretty longs nails. It brokes really easily.

When I brush my hair, it falls by handfuls and it's not easy to take care of it and make it shiny and soft.

And the biggest symptom for me and the less bearable is heat. And it's hard to feel confortable with it. When the temperature is too high or when the sun hit my head too strong, I faint. It's the same when the water is too hot in my shower.
Fortunately, my boyfriend works at home like me and he's all the time ready to catch me when I feel bad.

Actually, I don't have any medical treatment because I don't have to have it, but if the symptoms become too disabling, I will have to take one.
Today, I don't really know what will happen for me with this desease and I'm a little bit scared.
To live better with it, I started to write every day my symptoms and their intensity in my bullet journal. It helps me to check the desease developement and try to understand what it changes in my body.

Regularly, I will write here to explain what happens and where is my illness. What the doctors explained to me about it, and try to live happy despite this...

Enjoy ;)
