Hope I ain't gonna die
Dear Diary,


I'm worried. Ok, so I'm going through my files when I pull out one of my graphs. *what are the graphs you might be thinking* Well, they show the amount of hormones in my body. Anyway, So I start to look at em and start to realize something. I'm worse than I thought. To find out what how bad, I went to webmd.com to find out. THere, I found all that I needed. First I check what Free t4 is. Why, well, it said I had low levels. 0.80 is minimum level. mines is 0.74 What does that mean I have, well, after some looking, I found that I have hypothyroidism. *sympthoms, weakness
fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain (unintentional), depression, joint or muscle pain thin, pale color among others. ALl of wich I have. http://my.webmd.com/content/asset/adam_disease_myxedema for more info. THen, I look at my insulin level. VERY LOW! 51. Normal is between 182-780. Later, I would find out the hydrocortisone I'm taking is making that level low. Also, I have high levels of prolactin. Check this out, Abnormal Results Mean, A prolactin-secreting tumor (most often) and causes hypothyroidism. I should be a doc. *I wonder if ya'll are following this*

Let me try to translate. My weakness is caused By hypothyroidism. I have that because of low t4. I have low insulin because of the hydrocortisone I'm taking. I got all this because of my tumor. I'm really worried now. i've been trying to downplay this, but like Honey said, this is your life. *I hate excerpts, I never translate it right* Anyways, I'm really worried. I hope I don't die or something. *getting scared* I hope I make it through this. Even my mom has noticed me decreasing in overall health. And She's drunk all the time. I can't stop thinking, WHY ME. I know, Just chance. LIke it's looping through my head. Like a broken record. That is all.

Hey, just cause you're in God's hands doesn't mean you're not allowed to worry, or that you'll stop worrying. Worrying is an element of caring, and you care very deeply about many things.

And everyone here can see that you care. That's why so many are standing by you. :)

Keep praying. So will the rest of us. No matter what.
