update 3

after my checkup earlier this month, my doc still doesn't want to proclaim me fully cured of hyperthyroidism so am still on the same medication and dosage. that and the reminder to exercise now that my ft3, ft4 and tsh have remained normal for five months now counting from august. have five months really passed that quick? wow. started medication only in may and it's now december, with my levels constantly within normal range. since august. double wow. i am not sure how long others with the condition took to respond to medication and be in remission from it but i'm guessing a bit longer. the usual treatment for this is 12-18 months. come my next checkup though, doc is  confident that he could lower the dosage once again before pronouncing me a graduate (his word) from hyperthyroidism. ohhh i hope so!

i've eaten my fair share of seafood and all the dairy i want but i guess eating and cooking healthy has somewhat become a lifestyle (especially when it comes to dairy, i hardly have seafood as it is). a good change, of course!
