Part 5
Eight weeks went by and Janet walked into the doctor's office with pride and a sense of enthusiasm that did not exist the last time she entered the building. She sat down in one of Dr. Gabriel's chairs and let out a large satisfied sigh.
"Hello Janet, aren't you looking happy today! Definitely a change from the last time I saw you. How have you been?"
"Well, as you can see, I am feeling way better than I was feeling a couple months ago. You could see how rundown I looked and it really took a toll on my life for a bit there. My husband was quite worried for me...ha ha"
"As any good husband should be! Tell me about the progress you have felt after talking the medicine I prescribed for you."
"The day I walked out of your office, and for around a week after, the improvement was slow but noticeable. I was still feeling large and tired, but not to any extend I was feeling before. Around the second and third week, I was able to hit the gym and exercise to the ability I used to. That was an incredible feeling because it gave me hope that I could get my old weight back. The fifth week in, my skin was clearing up and my husband said I had my natural shine back. My children were annoying me with comments about why I was always so happy and eager to help them with work! I didn't know I was giving off this vibe but it definitely made me feel better. At this point, I have lost my goiter completely, I am at the weight I am comfortable with and my stamina and the amount I sleep is back to normal. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't come in that day to talk to you. I could have gone seriously down hill to the point of not recovering."
"Janet, that is what I'm here for! I am so glad the medication worked for you. You shouldn't be suffering from something you can't control. Let me take some blood tests to ensure your body is functioning as well as you say, and then you will be off!"
Janet went in for her blood tests and her result was in the normal range. She felt great hearing that. She finally had her life back. She thought to herself how blessed she was to be able to recover from her case of hypothyroidism.
