Guess who's back?

Earlier this year, I went for health screening and all my test results were fine. But then a few weeks ago, I noticed that I was losing drastic weight and that my pulse was faster than usual so I went for further blood tests and the results showed that my thyroid levels were way off the charts! The T3 Total & T4 Free were doubled, whilst the Tg Ab was 4x higher than the normal range.

I asked my specialist why the sudden onset of my hyperthyroidism as I recovered from it in 2008 and he explained that it's usually triggered by stressful events.

And I thought I was fine. Never knew I could be so vulnerable until my health is affected.
