I went in for a physical the last week and they did the all the normal labs that they do and stuff. Everything came back normal except for my thyroid gland. It wasn't producing enough of the hormones that its supposed to and as a result my metabolism has been way down among other things.This news has sorta been one of those things where once you know it, everything just fits into place. Like how I gained 30lbs over like a month and a half despite no changes in diet, etc from before. I had guessed that I got to the age where my metabolism just decided to crap out >.>. That happens right? To twenty-one year olds? I dunno. I suppose I didn't look too much into it.
I also assumed that what turned out to be facial swelling was just 'cause of the extra weight I had gained. Not to mention the pressure on my wind pipe. It was getting a little more difficult to breathe for awhile there. I thought it was just neck fat crushing my throat -_-. So I suppose now that all fat people dont feel that way at my weight.
All those symptoms come on so gradually they are easy to miss until a big change sorta happens. I think in about 3 days or so I'm supposed to be feeling more normal. I do admit though that after 7~8 months of this I dont remember what 'normal' is like. The pills they gave me sorta make me act a little drunk but I guess its worth it.

Epic drawing. I wish I had some lemonade right now....
Gotta ask: MS Paint? Or JASC? You could have borrowed my tablet if you wanted. I don't mind having you jump on my computer to doodle. As long as you leave me something amusing afterwards, that is...
Where is your pie?
And screaming pumpkin?
I'm rooting for you! I hope you can boost your metabolism and lose that weight! <3
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
