Past 12 hours of adventure...
 So after a week of taking cold meds for a chest cold...last night I finished decorating the x-mas tree with Tina when suddenly i had a flutter in my chest and a racing pulse accompanied by a numb/tingely feeling in my body. Great... Off to St. Peter's we go in the ice and crap. After my ekg/cardiogram, x-rays, pee pee test, and blood work...turns out my ticker is a-okay. However...my blood work showed I have a defecient thyroid. Shit So after 4 hours in the hospital last night, I had to goto a family care physicial this morning where they promptly stole a bunch more of my blood to re-run and confirm the results from St. Peters before perscribing anything. Ultimately, they think I have hypothyroidism which means my thryoid is a lazy fuck and doesn't do its job. So I'll have to take a T4 supplement for the rest of my life so I don't drop dead. Cool. No problem. The only annoyance is in the meantime I feel like a run down turd. Little enthusiasm and less energy. Feel weary and tingely and just not normal. They say I may notice a slight difference in the first 1-2 weeks after being on the medication but the average person isn't back to normal for 1-2 months. Yay for me. The best part? NO ALCOHOL. NO CAFFEINIE. NO "UNNECESSARY" SUGAR. FUCK Taking away beer is like saying I can no longer breath oxygen. Good news? Once my T4 levels are back to "normal" I can "casually" consume alcohol but can not get "drunk" because it can adversely effect my T4 levels and effectiveness of the medicationThat's my night. Thank you for reading. I hate thyroids.

My mother drinks like a fish on her thyroid meds(BV/rocks). The adverse effects aren't anywhere near as severe as they want you to believe, especially when you're young. Just don't mix caffiene and alcohol, that's just bad right from the start anyways.

That sucks man, I will find you tomorrow and we will hug it out. When your T4 levels are back up, I will personally get you casually drunk.

Justin, have you ever had your thyroid checked before this? I get ine checked once a year with the blood work they do for my blood pressure. You ever had this checked or was this all new news for you?
