This small gland in our neck can wreak havoc on the human body. It can cause one to have less energy, fatigue, memory loss, deppression, dry skin, low heart rate, high blood pressure, weight gain, irritability, hair loss, constipation and more. The symptons vary depending on the person and the severity of the case. This one hormone being off balance can cause unbalance in other parts of a person's life. It affects both emotions and the physical body. Similar to the thyroid hormone when little things are off in our lives they can have repurcussions.

For my body to have the right about of thyroid hormone I now take a pill every morning. I will take this pill the rest of my life. I don't mind because it helps my body function the way it is suppose to. The doctor increased my dosage this week, but I can feel the difference already from the dosage I was taking for just a few weeks. Even though I was just diagnosed I have been tired for the last three to four years and there is a good chance that it was due to my thyroid slowly not working right. Unfortunately, we can not just take a pill to cure us of not wanting to forgive, from stress, bitterness, or to keep us from being workaholics (though they do have medication for deppression and anxiety). However, we can work on ourselves daily and continue to strive for balance in our lives. Just like my pill working on one's spiritual, emotional and physical health takes a lifetime habits. Prayer, a relationship with God, practing spiritual habits, excercise, eating right, and other habits can help us on the journey of life =).
