This is what is going on right now, for those who are curious. It is not fun, but it is treatable and reversible. Unfortunately, waiting for my reversal now as I am undergoing treatment is painful, tiring, and often frightening. Though full recovery can take up to a year depending on treatment, I keep being reassured that I will begin feeling better in the next couple weeks, and I happily anticipate that to be true. Until my condition is at a more manageable level (the hyperthyroid condition I was in was life-threatening by the time I sought treatment) we wont know what exactly is causing this. Still, it is constantly bewildering to me to discover all the things a malfunctioning thyroid can cause. It is responsible for all kinds of stupid things that have bothered me for years--like the fact that the outer third of my eyebrows are nearly non-existent and my fingernails are impossible to grow--to more significant things, like complications in my heart, the fact that I could fracture my arm by lifting a 20lb bag, dimming vision, seizures, and bouts of unexplained vomiting that last for weeks. I am really, really out of it right now, yall. Its hard to think, every move I make is excruciatingly painful, and blah blah whine moan whiney moan moan. But I am happy. Because soon Ill start feeling better. And itll take a while to iron out the details, but I will soon STAY better. And even more importantly, my eyebrows might finally grow back in. :)
