i'm gonna share sumthing i've been having for the last 1 n a half years now, a disease called thyroidism.i'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to medical stuffs but i think there r hypo-thyroidism and hyper-thyroidism.one i'm having is hyper-thyroidism.
DEFINITION: Overproduction of thyroid hormones by an overactive thyroid.
 Some of u might ask...wat is thyroid??well, it's located in front of the neck. The thyroid gland produces the hormones that regulate the body's metabolic rate. When production of the thyroid hormones increases more than it supposed to, hyperthyroidism occurs. The excessive amount of thyroid hormones in the blood increases the body's metabolism, creating both MENTAL and PHYSICAL symptoms.
SYMPTOMS: weight loss with increased appetite, shortness of breaths and fatigue, intolerance to heat, heart palpitations, increased frequency of bowel movements, weak muscles, tremors, anxiety, difficulty sleeping,irregular menstrual cycles. Some might have goiter or bulging eyes.

A serious form of hyperthyroidism (forgot the name), might have the addition of fever, substantial weakness, extreme restlessness, confusion, emotional swings or psychosis, and even coma.

Well i've experienced most of these symptoms...but i'm still struggling n recovering...Last year,before i discover dat i hv diz disease, i was having so much trouble focusing in class n even in doing the houseworks.i tend to do sumthing but not finishing it.for example, i was doing the dishes but somehow i feel bored doin' it n decided to do sumthing else.everything was haywire. not to forget i even lost 15kgs of my weight without putting any effort 2 exercise or dieting.haha.deep in my heart i noe there must be sumthin wrong wif my health.Alhamdulillah it's been over a year now n i'm recovering.for those who's having all these weird symptoms juz go n hv a check k?it might turn into sumthin serious if u keep taking all these small symptoms for granted.

p/s: xjd g IKEA coz my abah is sooooo bz.isk...isk... tomorrow perhaps?(shining eyes)
