I got a letter in the mail today that I opened about 10 minutes ago. It's the test results from my last follow-up with my doctor. I told him I wasn't feeling right yet and asked if he could just test my blood again to make sure I'm still OK.

Unfortunately, turns out that I was right. I'm not exactly in the clear just yet. My most recent test results failed to be 'normal' and I'm going back to the specialist. I'm not sure if I'm 'Hypo' now instead of 'Hyper' but I can tell you that I'm gaining weight like crazy. I do have some unexplained muscle pain that I have never experienced before that started in the last week or so.

I want health back. I hate always feeling bad all the time. Enough is enough already, I mean, I know things can always be worse and I'm thankful they aren't but I'm tired of this.

Just tired.

I have been very pleased with desiccated bovine supplements . I'm taking it along with natural supplements. I have lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. This is a great addition to my diet and exercise program to keep everything functioning properly.
