Living with Congenital Hypothyroidism

Hi everyone This is me, no makeup, second day hair and top knot on top of my head. Sometimes we see all these photos of on social media where people look so perfect. It's always important to remember that that's not all of them. I too love to wear makeup, but when I'm just home, tired or just not feeling like making a fuss this is how I look. I mean look at those dark circles and all my freckles. The necklace I never take off and my favourite spot at home is right there on my bed with my pink walls. Today I thought it would be nice to share a bit more about me and my personality. According to the Myers Briggs personality test I am the personality type ESFJ. Find out your personality   According to this website I can be described as:  Strong practical skills, strong sense of duty, very loyal, sensitive and warm, and good at connecting with others. This is very accurate. I am well organised, I like to plan and manage my academics and life. There needs to be a plan.

Hi everyone I know it's been a while, but postgrad is keeping me busy and tired. As you know by now I'm answering some of your questions. These are questions from moms that have children with Congenital  Hypothyroidism as well as other people with thyroid conditions. I love hearing and talking to all of you, always feel free to get in contact with me. Easiest would be through Instagram, but you can contact me through Facebook and email as well. How did I know I was born without a thyroid? My parents found out a few days after I was born when the results from all the tests came back.  Have you been on medication since birth? From as soon as they found out, since the thyroid hormones is very important for growth and development. I have skipped a day here and there, only once 2 days and I felt sick. I haven't skipped a day in years. Did you have a normal life? Yes I did. I'm not sick, I just need to take care of myself. I just have less energy
