Health Update

I've been diagnosed with subclinical hypethyroidism. As a result, I've been feeling very physically weak. My normal exercise routine has had to be momentarily set aside. I simply don't have the energy. Part of my happiness is tied closely to productivity and I haven't been as productive as I'd like. I'm amazed I've been able to accomplish all that I have on sheer force of will alone.

Subclinical hyperthyroidism occurs when there is too much thyroid hormone in the body. Beyond a low level of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) in my body, I'm not sure of the other parameters at play. An additional round of tests was conducted Wednesday. I expect the results sometime today.

Until then, I'm returning to bed to rest.
