Living with Congenital Hypothyroidism

Hi everyone I hope you are having an amazing day so far. Today I want to share with you the medication I'm taking and how I'm making sure that I'm the best version of myself. I'm currently taking 100mg of Euthyrox every morning before breakfast. The pamphlet inside says you should take it 30 minutes before breakfast, but I honestly don't do that. I asked my doctor about it and she says it doesn't make a difference, just take it before eating. Please consult your own doctor about this.

Hi everyone I know I haven't blogged in a while, it's been a hectic time. Last week was one of those long and never ending weeks. I had 2 class tests and a semester test in 1 week.

Starting studying for Saturday on Monday and then also in between had to study for those class tests and try to finalise 4 projects of which 3 are group projects. Saturday straight after my test in the morning I went to the computer rooms on campus to work on the one project for which I needed special computer software. I was on campus till 17:30 and Sunday I had to finalise another group project so I had no rest before this week started. I'm somewhere in between zombie and autopilot at this moment. Yesterday I went to the doctor to get my test results of my blood draw. Turns out I'm "overactive" which is weird since I don't have a thyroid gland. Doctor said it's not too bad...
