By way of a 6 month up-date.

[Billyboy2u]

Well 6 months now since my total Stop on block and replace. On the whole feeling not to bad, although some days I’m very short of breath and suck in gallons of air and still feel it’s not enough.

Have an after thought too about 3 months ago I was taken into hospital as the paramedics that came out couldn’t get my oxygen levels up, and with a thickly cough I’m pretty sure I’ve had COVID-19 ? So I’m wondering if I’m having a relapse of my thyroid condition or my COVID-19 symptoms ? But feel poorly when I have those days. It doesn’t last more than 2 days but when it’s happening I feel like it could be my last.

I’m thinking I may have to go back on the levothyroxine. I’ve not had any follow up appointments or blood tests since my last “normal” readings. I’ve also not had my appointment at the hospital with the COVID going around so I’m thinking on ringing my GP for an appointment about my shortness of breath. Get that sorted.

Above all other than my breathing problem. I’ve been doing work around the house with fitting a kitchen, laying a wooden floor we it’s doors and skirting so not doing bad at all other than the days I’m poorly as I can’t move on those days.

Just thought I’d update everyone going down the path I went down.

Good luck everyone and hope your progressing well.
