I was 19, always cheerful and full of life, nobody could tell I had a rough childhood. I had completed one year of engineering with unexpected good grades. I had a sensitive skin and it was another allergy attack, I was suffering from. With so many other important things to worry about, it no longer bothered me to go to college with a swollen face or completely covered with pink itchy rashes.
The doctor had recommended a simple blood test and I was expecting him to say something like 'Your Haemoglobin is low or build your immune system, eat more green' etc. But Life is a mystery, what to do we know !
I was asked to undergo few more tests before fasting and after fasting.
The Ugly Duckling was now a Beautiful swan. I will honestly admit I was basking in the glory of attention. I chose to always think of what God had given me, and ignore the pain and unfortunate incidents. I was enjoying my college days, even though home was hell, remember I had written about my abusive alcohol addicted uncle, he was still living with us.
Results came, Doctor announced I was having a thyroid gland disfunction. I was suffering from hypo-thyroidism.
I had heard this word for the first time, T for THYROID.
Sad that you had to endure so much. Hope you are blessed with good health now. Take care :-)

Seriously Ananya...hats off! You stand here today strong and beautiful despite the many odds in life! Respect! Hope the thyroid is better now...tc
ReplyDeleteIt's usually helpful finding out the cause of problems and it's nice to know that there is a way to manage hypothyroidism. In the mean time, you continue to live your life in the most courageous of ways! Kudos!
ReplyDeleteOuch, that's not nice. But hope u r better now !
ReplyDeleteThyroid can be controlled. :) Don't worry Ananya! :)
ReplyDeleteI have hypothyroidism since chilhood, but it never bothered me though that much. You shouldn't worry about it, people live with it. Personally I never had any concerns about it, even so doctor was warning me.
ReplyDeleteBut I like your attitude and way you perceive yourself - the ugly duckling was no a beautiful swan. I know so many beautiful girls who still say they are ugly and don't appreciate their natural beauty. It is good you appreciate yourself.
Wishing you better.:)
