갑상선은 영어로 thyroid[thyroid]라고 읽는다.갑상선 항진은 hyperthyroidism[하이퍼thyroidism]갑상선 저하는 hypothyroidism[하이퍼thyroidism]
고혈압도 앞에 하이퍼가 붙고 저혈압은 하이포가 붙는다. hyper라는 접두사가 ‘과도 또는 지나침을 나타낸다’는 것을 의미하고, hypo라는 접두사는 ‘~보다 아래의, 정상 이하의’을 의미하기 때문이다.참고로 고혈압은 hypertension(혹은 high blood pressure), 저혈압은 hyportension(혹은 low blood pressure).
I’ve been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and now it has me study more what I gotta do for me and people around me, especially my one and only, honey. I’ve been whining these days towards my sweetie for nothing but my condition, he always endures everything though. Well, I had never expected that I WOULD become the one of the chronically ill. I was so confident, thought that I was secure, having no clues for that. Changes grew in fast.
My thyroid levels were pretty okay in 2018. Things have changed within 3 years so far, and I asked my doctor like “How can it become worse only within 3 years?” and he said “not only within… 3 years can make everything happen.” I felt null myself, and a big regret struck me claminng ‘why didn’t you care yourself’.
YEAH, I felt guilty. It seemed the ones around me were suffered from the anger and irritation radiated from this “chrinically ill”-newbie. My daily mood hopped up every hour(maybe has hopped…)but thanks God, I’ve not been depressed till now. It’s because my hubby always soothes me with God’s words, reminds me how I am precious in his eyes and Jehovah’s eyes. It’s such a amzaing thing that I’m able to thank God that I feel his love through my loved ones, and mostly through my sweetie. His snuggle. What can it be much more than that?
I’m not sure how long should I keep the track with the medicine. Whatever, it ends in the end.
