This too sahll pass

I am not feeling confident at the moment

 why?

My thyroid going too fast. I had been taking iodine supplements from the naturapath & this has set my thyroid going too fast. Why? Good question. The answer is that I have a strong family disposition to Graves disease. Graves is an auto immune over active thyroid condition.
I have been on thyroid medication since October or Novemeber and its not yet back within normal parameters.

The thyroid going too fast leaves me with a delicate balance managing the SIBO, and I've had a few bouts of its awful symptoms.

With the SIBO raging I have tiniea too. The burning & itching has woken me a few times so I've been treating my toes twice daily with tea tree oil & salt baths, with lots of salt in them.

It also gives me anxiety, so I feel like crap, have to manage various itchy areas, can't eat aything sweet and my mind is racing & catastrophising about everything! Arghhh!

So what can I do?


I have been writing out affirmations twice daily

meditate daily

get good sleep

stay at home, which is made easier as it is holidays

eat what I can eat, salty or spicy is a good sweet craving filler

Realise I am not feeling, thinking, reacting or iteracting normally & tell people where appropriate

Read for pleasure, clean the house and play with the kids

I will get my thyroid levels back into normal range, and life shall go on

This too shall pass
