My, I'm so cheery at the moment.

Those blood tests I had on 3 Janary? I got the results today (not them being late; me forgetting to call).

My cholesterol level is 5.2 (slightly high) and I've been advised to stay on my low-fat diet. Except I'm not on a low-fat diet. I suppose I'd better make an effort, though, having seen the trouble it's giving Dad.

The thyroid tests? My worst nightmare has come true; I'm not ill, just lazy and greedy :( My TSH level is 2.15 (normal range being 0.3 to 3, with higher numbers being closer to hypothyroidism) and my serum free T4 is 14.9. Which confuses me rather, since normal is 4.5-12.5, with higher being nearer to hyperthyroidism. Odd.

So anyway, I'm to cut back on things like chips and chocolate & cheese and fried rice & curries and all the nice stuff. Boo :(

Meanwhile, I'm wrestling with FRS17 disclosures, deferred tax treatment of such, and actuaries' reports. My life gets more exciting by the minute.

It's not to do with depression? Always makes me want to eat more.

Well, yes. I comfort eat like there's no tomorrow (mmm, simple carbs), and the depression & tablets have buggered my metabolism. I was hoping for a nice hypothyroid diagnosis so I could get some nice metabolism-boosting thyroxine, and be able to eat without getting lardier.

Ho hum.
