Clare Henney: Hormonal

6:55 PM | | Posted by Clare Henney

Like I mentioned in a previous entry, I’ve been having thyroid issues. While they are not life-threatening in any way, it does make my hormones go haywire. The best word for it is that I am hormonal these days. I’m moody, my skin is breaking out and my weight has been harder to control. The whole moody part I can deal with. I mean, I feel like I get pissed off easier now but being the type of person I am, I keep these things to myself and people around me hardly notice. It’s the weight and the skin thing that’s harder to control.

I thought that people with hyperthyroidism usually lose weight? I feel like I’m gaining — much like when I had hypo. That is irritating for me because I’ve been trying to lose weight for the longest time. Tough part right now is that it’s harder to deal with because with my thyroid condition I think this is really out of my control. I need to normalize my thyroid levels to make some sort of progress in the weight department.

As for the skin thing, I have been breaking out a lot and if you know me personally you’d know that I hardly do and people usually like my skin. Lately, I just feel like I’m desperate need of a facial — or a major diamond peel.

I feel like I’m having those bad hair days — only it’s for everything about me. So not good. Hopefully the medicine that my doctor prescribed can get me back to normal soon. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
