RA Interview and Thyroiditis

So, interesting mix of a day. I went to the doctor last week and had bloodwork done. They called back and said my TSH thyroid levels were unhealthily high, which means the opposite is happening with my thyroid: it's not working like it should. This has been an issue with the doctors for about ten years now. Some think I have it. Some think I don't. Some think it's barely high enough to be considered an issue. So, this time my TSH levels have risin to the occasion. When it should be a 5....it's now an 8. Not so great. But whatever. After stressing about it all morning, it turns out it is just like my mum says. One little pill a day makes no difference whatsoever. I mean, I've seen immediate family go through much worse problems, so really this shouldn't be an issue.

The funny thing is that my mum has a theory as to why I have thyroid problems. Are you ready? Wait for it....Chernobyl. No, seriously. She thinks Chernobyl. She might be right, but when you first hear it...it's kind of funny. Anyways, the radiation traveled all the way to the lovely Isles of Scotland, where my mum was when pregnant with me. Anyhow, there were radioactive sheep, and the water was contaminated. Long story short, I may have weirdly been affected by Chernobyl. Weird conversation.

Different topic. I had my interview for RA today. I think it went pretty well. They asked for loads of examples, some of which seemed to have the tiniest of differences. Well, I now have two weeks to wait until they make a decision. Fingers crossed.
