The Marathon Weekend, Narcolepsy and Bears

in life •  6 years ago 

It’s just a short post tonight, because to be honest this new job has been wearing me out.

My daily walk to work has gone from a rural market town with sights such as (above) this.

To urban sights like this (below).

Still the work is OK, and I have learned not to judge things on week one.

I’m falling asleep at my desk every day somewhere between the hours of 11.45am – 2.30pm and then it goes away, like telling me, ‘OK, that’s it for today, well done for keeping awake’.

According to the doctor my thyroid is a little slow but not enough to put me on levothyroxine.

I may get second opinion as this is the same doctor who advised @bingbabe to take Tramadol and then run a Marathon while on it, subsequently messing one of her toes up.

If it’s not my thyroid that then I have the dreaded ME. Well bollocks to that as I’m not going to accept it. If I told him it might be Narcolepsy, he would likely nod his head and say.., 'Yes, that's it, I was thinking that all along'.

You American's might not have FREE NHS, but the quality is very wide. Dodgy medical advise its sometimes worse than none at all.

@bingbabe and me are in London tomorrow and Sunday for her Marathon and it’s taking all my willpower and effort to type right now.

I just want to go to bed.

STEEM is in the doldrums again, but I bought around 2000 a week ago. Talk about crappy timing. The rest of the alt coins are not doing much better, and we all thought it was the end of the bears.

Hopefully it’s just a dip and next week it will be on the up again.

That’s all for now, I told you it was short. Have a nice weekend all.

I wonder how much of the decline is because we are getting close to the June 1 announcement by Dan and EOS? In fact I did a video about it. Is there room for both?

Enjoy this big event @slobberchops and our American 'medical' is mainly pill pushing. I'd say stay off any thyroid medicine if at all possible. My niece when on it a few years back then discovered a natural way she'd like to address it and then found out that the 'medicine' permanently shrunk her thyroid and it will NOT function now unless she always uses this medication...she was not happy and feels trapped by it, just a heads up.

Enjoy the city, I love London.

I had a slightly underactive thyroid a few years ago, and I knew so many people who were on the conventional thyroid meds and who had found them helpful at first, but then many of their old symptoms came back. So I did a bit of research and started taking high doses of iodine instead. It worked for me, and I documented my progress in a YouTube video diary. It's interesting for me to look back and see how sluggish and puffy-faced I looked back then! My YT channel name is Freethinking Health. I'm not saying this treatment is for everyone, but it worked for me. There are some good books on the subject too.

That's a scary tale... maybe I'll just put up with falling asleep for the rest of my life. Some things are worse than others.

Have a great weekend! I am looking to buy some Steem this weekend as these prices are too good to miss I believe as I missed them this low last time!

It's starting to creep up again, so maybe now is the time.

I hope you both enjoy the weekend. It is a huge event. Sounds like you are a bit under the weather, so it's a good thing you are not running.

About to leave the house now, hope the weather is better than here. It hasn't stopped raining since that amazing weekend.

It's a bit wet and blustery here. I was contemplating parkrun, but it just doesn't look like fun. Hope it improves for tomorrow
