From a health issue. That was just before I nearly died from a thyroid storm. I was losing weight like crazy, yet it didn't feel like a Crohn's flare up.
The doctor took an EKG and said that I am lucky to be alive, then scheduled a cardiac ultrasound. It's never good when a doctor says things like that.
Thankfully, there is nothing wrong with my ticker other than a small murmur which I have had all my life.
The thyroid is coming under control now, thanks to a new doctor (a specialist) and different meds. That, and I'm getting looked at again for the first time in a year. I have gained back all the lost weight, plus some that I didn't lose. I wish this weight would steady out at 180 lbs and stay there!
Sigh
Oh well, I'm okay and that's the important thing.
