As a patient with hyperthyroidism who has been cured for many years, I hesitated and finally decided to write this article to share my hyperthyroidism experience. In the years of struggle with hyperthyroidism, I also summed up some of my own experiences and understandings, and I also have some views and understandings on the problems encountered by some hyperthyroidism patients. In fact, I wrote an article about me and hyperthyroidism a year ago, but there were many voices of doubt. Someone told me it was useless and it would recur soon. Is it too early to write such an article? Some people say that my writing is unscientific. I have never heard of it ... But what I want to say is that no one knows my body better than I do, and I can still feel whether it will recur, so I can firmly say that my hyperthyroidism is better after one year. As for some people who say that some of my daily methods are unscientific, I just want to say that not knowing doesn't mean not knowing. Where to start? Let's talk about the early stage of hyperthyroidism. Readers who don't want to see it can also skip the first part directly.

1 1 year I got hyperthyroidism, and it's been1year. It's a pity that doctors can't cure themselves. I studied nursing in college and didn't find my physical problems in time. I started my internship in the hospital in July 2005, probably because I went back to my hometown for internship alone (most students in my class were assigned internship units by the school). Every day, I have to learn how to do medical work well and how to get along with patients. My temper is getting impatient every day, and I am often depressed and irritable, and I can't find anyone to talk to. In front of most people, I look confident and optimistic. In fact, in the first three months of my internship, I returned to the rental office, almost exhausted. Go out to eat after waking up. Occasionally my parents come to see me. As soon as I came back, I closed the door and lay down for a while. I don't think I'm so tired, so I cheer up for dinner and chat with my parents. Father said I didn't smile when I came back. I said with a wry smile that my smiling face was for patients. I have used up my share today, so I can't laugh now.

10 At the end of March, I applied for a job as a nurse in a hospital after my internship. At the same time, I lost weight quietly. I thought it was because the internship was too hard that I gradually lost weight. Now I think it may be a sign that hyperthyroidism is coming, but my appetite is normal and my appearance has not changed much. From May of 10, I began to feel weak and it was difficult to stand up after squatting. By the time I was about to go to work in the hospital in June, I was already struggling to walk and climb stairs. My mother thinks I lack exercise and complains about me. I don't know why. In mid-June, my family and I went to the hospital to find a place to rent a house. I fell to the ground as soon as I got off the bus. After that, I fell unsteadily several times. My aunt insisted that I go to the hospital for examination, only to find out that it was hypokalemia. I waited in line for a long time. I sat in a wheelchair, feeling paralyzed from bottom to top, and my arms gradually lost control. It was not until one night that I lost more than four hours of fluids and ate potassium salt intermittently that I gradually got better. I thought to myself, I will never suffer this again. It feels good to walk away. As a result, this is only the beginning of my body's emergency signal.

1 1 started work in July. I rented a house with two girls. My mother didn't trust me during the summer vacation, so she came to live with me. In two weeks, I became thinner. From March to July, my weight dropped from 1 10 kilograms to more than 90 kilograms. I often feel hungry. However, by 12 1 month, my neck was swollen and my hands began to shake badly. I often feel uncomfortable, flustered and uncomfortable, and my eyes are dry and painful. At first, I thought it was hypokalemia. Later, I did B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, thyroid function and blood routine examination in our hospital, and I was diagnosed as hyperthyroidism. So I started taking medicine. After taking the medicine for a month, my face began to swell and I gained a little weight. Later, after taking a large dose, it changed from hyperthyroidism to hypothyroidism.

Later, because of my poor working conditions, the hospital leaders advised me to go home for treatment and come back to work after I recovered. After careful consideration, I decided to leave my job. Because I just got sick when I came to the hospital, unlike some old employees who have contributed to the hospital, I can be transferred to a lighter post after I get sick. The leader may also worry that my illness will affect my work. It won't do me any harm if I work at night again, so I returned my work clothes and left the hospital. I also thought about finding another job and saving some money for treatment. After all, the rent has not expired, but in April 2007, I found that my liver function was damaged. I was afraid of getting worse, so I gave up the idea and went home to cure the disease.

During the period, the state has been repeated, and the indicators have been fluctuating for a while. In particular, I accidentally ate glutinous rice in the middle, which led to aggravated exophthalmos and a lot of eye secretions. I had to wipe my eyes for a while, which was very uncomfortable. The condition has been unstable, and I am worried that I will continue to work as a nurse and stay up late for a long time. Even if I recover, it's easy to relapse. I decided to give up my job in the hospital and take the civil service exam, but I failed in the end.

I really can't stay at home for long. I am anxious to prove myself. I lost my head and promised to check out at the cashier's desk of my mom's colleague's coffee shop. After three days at work, someone took me to work. I accepted it quickly, but I didn't ask about the working hours. It's usually 18 from 6: 30 to 2: 30, but if the guests haven't enjoyed the cashier yet, they should leave a waiter to look after the store until all the guests have cleaned the boxes and locked the doors. This is troublesome and left me a lesson. Don't just say yes before you figure something out. It was said that you should take good care of me and let the foreman take my place. Later, the foreman told me that it was impossible for her to work overtime all the time if she wanted to work here for a long time. I think this is reasonable. I started to work overtime by myself, and barely lasted for two weeks. I stayed up late every day, even more tired than in the hospital. The hospital only arranges two night shifts a week, and there is a rest after the night shift.

I finally want to resign after a month. As a result, the shopkeeper said that there was no one to replace me and I couldn't leave. In this way, from mid-May to mid-July, I was so tired that I had a low fever twice. In May and June, my index was close to normal. On July 24th, my father had a sudden cerebral infarction, so I asked for leave to go to the hospital for care. Fortunately, my father recovered quickly after taking the medicine. Before I left the hospital, my condition actually deteriorated. The index rose to a value close to the hyperthyroidism I just found. I never dare to go back to work in a coffee shop. A waiter was promoted to take my place in the shop. After the handover, I went out to travel with my family, and it was inevitable to take pictures when I went out to play. After taking pictures, I found that my eyes and neck were swollen very obviously, so I could only take pictures of my side as much as possible. It was really hard for me at that time, because I didn't know when such days would end.

Later, I didn't continue to toss. I think having a good body may be more important than anything else. I began to devote myself to studying hyperthyroidism. Although I majored in nursing, at least I am also a doctor. How can I be defeated by a little hyperthyroidism? I once heard a doctor say that what he really wanted to do was the education of medical and health concepts. Indeed, I think too many people die not from disease, but from ignorance and ideas. Hyperthyroidism is like our enemy. The so-called know yourself and know yourself. The first thing I have to do is to understand hyperthyroidism, the essence of hyperthyroidism, and the weaknesses of hyperthyroidism, and then "break through one by one".

I consulted a lot of information about hyperthyroidism, and also watched many lectures about hyperthyroidism on the Internet, and systematically understood the causes and methods of hyperthyroidism. I remember one sentence clearly: "Disease is an annoying presentation of the overall quality of life. The biggest valve for treating physical diseases is in life. I think since I'm sick, I should know the cause of my illness first. Everything happens for a reason. Only by finding the reason can it be solved. I think the main reason should be that my personality is somewhat competitive, serious and pursuing perfection. I have been a good obedient student since I was a child, and I am also a good employee after work. I remember a big brother later said that people with hyperthyroidism are meticulous and responsible people. Now there is a saying called "Cancer Personality", which probably means this. Maybe this disease was born to enlighten me. When I first graduated, I was bent on proving myself. But why prove it? Prove to who? Who needs your proof? So I'm guilty. Why "prove" when you know it? Because of this knot, persistence is born. Because persistence disturbs the normal operation of the body, it is strange not to get sick.

Therefore, the first thing I have to do is to untie my heart, not pursue perfection, and learn to be a moderate person, so that the moderate person will not be persistent and can watch the flowers bloom and fall. After my illness, I began to scan my past life carefully in my mind, trying to recall the mood in every diary and trying to gain insight into the expression behind every photo. Of course, some people try to learn meditation, try to cross the time tunnel and find the truest self. Nevertheless, one morning, a little thing in the depths of time still came to my mind, and from the present point of view, it was almost decisive, at least it changed my character. It is said that four or five o'clock in the morning is the moment when people's subconscious emerges the most. So, I fell in love with this four or five o'clock in the morning, and finally these fragments were connected together. I was surprised to find that I actually knew myself a little.

Who am I? Where is the land I come from? where am I going? Do you like the present state of life? One day, will you be as surprised as I am: "I really don't like my life these years." The only difference between happiness and sadness in this matter is: how old are you when you express this feeling, and do you have the ability to change the status quo? How much you have to pay for this. Why is it difficult for people in this era to get real heartfelt happiness? Perhaps, it is forced by life and environment. Maybe you don't have the courage to choose the life you want. Maybe you have no idea what you want. Even you don't know why you came to this world. So many jumps, so many self-injuries, is it just pressure and frustration? I certainly don't think so. I have unconsciously followed the crowd and chose the life of most people. At the best time when I could have changed, I missed the opportunity to return to myself again and again on the grounds that I was addicted to marijuana. In the end, the disease changed me.

I have read such a sentence in an article before, "Modesty means that you are knocked down, your confidence is gone, your ego is gone, you are completely empty, and you can put in new things." This is what I learned. I refused to see Chinese medicine before because I was biased against Chinese medicine. When I was desperate, I finally let go of my differences and prejudices. I don't care what he is, as long as he can cure the disease and recover, that's good. Now I am trying to stretch my tentacles and get in touch with things beyond my original experience. I have become more and more clear. I heard a lecture before: sometimes we can't go out because our thinking is limited to this level. The best way to get out of this level is to read some different books, listen to some different lectures and meet some people you don't know. In short, go beyond your original knowledge and life experience.

Secondly, it is absolutely necessary to maintain good eating and living habits. How to say this thing? First of all, talk about diet. Some doctors won't tell you what you need to eat to avoid hyperthyroidism, but those who really know hyperthyroidism and have experienced it personally will understand the importance of taboos. In winter, it is a little difficult to rinse hot pot, stew soup, eat meat, take a lot of tonics and keep your mouth shut. So how can hyperthyroidism (sick and cured) not mistreat the mouth and stomach, eat healthy and be full of happiness? Share my five-year experience.

When I first suffered from hyperthyroidism, I was very weak and needed good care. I ban all spicy and cold food. In order not to increase the burden on the stomach, liquid foods such as porridge and noodles are mainly used every day. Later, as my body gradually improved, I began to eat some fruits slowly. Now my diet has returned to normal track. I eat and drink as I please, but I don't feel "abstinence". Instead, I feel very happy every time I eat. When I was overeating before, I was refreshed at that time, but I suffered a lot afterwards. Having said that, I actually want to tell you the importance of taboos, but the difficulty is that excessive taboos will inevitably affect your mood and happiness. I don't know if you will have any influence, but I am. Every time I eat delicious food, I feel that the whole person is in a much better mood. Excessive taboos always make me feel a little depressed. As we all know, the mood of hyperthyroidism patients is very important. My principle for hyperthyroidism diet is to firmly implement the big principle and satisfy small desires with wisdom. What does this sentence mean? First of all, let's talk about the general principles:

1. Don't eat hot pot and spicy food. Hyperthyroidism is generally full of liver fire. If you eat food that aggravates liver fire, it is undoubtedly worse;

2. Seafood contains a lot of iodine, and it is a hair. Don't eat seafood, eat a little to satisfy yourself and enjoy parasympathetic nerve. Let's call it a day;

3. Don't eat cold food. Hyperthyroidism patients have kidney yin and yang deficiency, eating cold food hurts the kidney and spleen and stomach;

4. Don't overeat and develop the habit of eating and drinking in moderation. The pleasure of overeating is actually just a habit, and it is a habit to restrain one's satiety appropriately.

And how to satisfy your little desires? 1. When you have a bad appetite, eating spicy food (not too much) can improve the pleasure of parasympathetic nerves. 2. If you can't eat seafood often, just eat a bowl of shrimp porridge (there are usually only two shrimps in a bowl of porridge). For example, I used to like seafood very much. Although my hyperthyroidism is gone now, I will still eat it once or twice for a long time. Usually, if I am greedy, I will make my own seafood sauce to stir-fry rice or mix noodles to relieve my greed. 3. Can't eat ice cream? Pain! Then eat some fruitcake as afternoon tea, so that it won't be unbalanced. 4. Can't eat cold fruit? Then cook fruit soup or steam it, which is more delicious. Give it a try. Think about it this way, don't you think it's so bad to be sick? We still have a lot of food and can enjoy life?

In fact, if any patient can maintain a refreshing, nourishing and unburdened diet during illness, it will be of great benefit to rehabilitation, because the human body itself has self-healing function. If we can give less burden to the internal organs, it will have more energy to repair the body. So you will see that one of the instructions of many drugs about dietary taboos will say: don't eat spicy and greasy food.

After talking about diet, let's talk about living habits and lifestyles. Patients with hyperthyroidism must develop good living habits and lifestyles. Why? Good living habits and lifestyles are the basic conditions for maintaining good health. Patients with hyperthyroidism are very weak and easily tired, so they must not increase their physical burden. Only by developing good living habits and lifestyles can our bodies repair themselves as soon as possible. I won't say much about good living habits and lifestyles, and everyone should know.

The next step is to strengthen your physique, just like catching a cold. Some people will find that even if they have a cold and don't take medicine, they will get better after a while. This is the self-repairing ability of the body. In fact, hyperthyroidism is the same, but it is relatively difficult, so in order not to increase the burden on the body, we must exercise to strengthen our physique. How can we strengthen our physique? The easiest way is running. In the early stage of hyperthyroidism, I suffered from severe insomnia. I often fall asleep at two or three in the morning. I am trapped in bed, and my eyes are dry and sore. I can obviously feel my fatigue, but I can't sleep, so I go running, not very fast, at the speed of walking. After running for two kilometers on the first day, my insomnia has improved and I can fall asleep at least before two o'clock. I ran three kilometers the next day, and on the fifth day of the fourth day ... I could have run six kilometers every day, but sometimes the weather unconsciously became an excuse for me to be lazy, so I studied some ways to strengthen my physique without going out.

The first is standing piles. Standing piles can not only dredge meridians, harmonize qi and blood, make yin and yang intersect, but also enhance physical fitness. At first, I practiced once every morning and evening for no more than 20 minutes, because 17 and 8 minutes are my limits, but I can persist in practicing for more than 30 minutes later. The process of standing piles is very hard and tiring. I always encourage myself to hold on for another minute and hold on for another minute. I often feel refreshed after standing on the pile. When standing the pile, the weight of the whole body is placed on two-thirds of the sole of the foot, so that the qi and blood of Yangming stomach meridian of the whole foot can be filled instantly. However, standing piles is very tiring, so it is very important to persist. Stick to it and you will certainly receive gratifying results.

I always hear such questions around me. Why is my hyperthyroidism cured but my eyes are still prominent? Why is my hyperthyroidism good, the index is normal but my body is still uncomfortable? Why does my hyperthyroidism always recur? What I want to say is, are you really sure you are ready? A professor once told me that as long as hyperthyroidism is really cured, exophthalmos can definitely be cured. Then why are the indicators normal and the body still uncomfortable? In fact, the reason is very simple, "because your previous treatment was only effective, not a cure." Physical examination indicators are normal, sometimes it doesn't mean that you are really cured, but the dose has adjusted the indicators to a normal level. Once you leave the drug, it will be repeated. So what should we do?

That is to push the liver meridian more. The liver meridian starts from the foot, reaches the costal region, and continues to ascend to the nipple. Both male and female nipples are the same, and they are all affected by the liver meridian. Then continue to go up, covering your throat, which will hurt your eyes and some will hurt your head. Therefore, people with hyperthyroidism have large necks and prominent eyes, which are different degrees of phlegm in the liver meridian, and there are several siltations up and down. Another aspect of female liver meridian is responsible for the turnover of monthly affairs. Once a woman has hyperthyroidism, it is easy to have irregular menstruation. Therefore, Chinese medicine from ancient times to the present has not only eliminated phlegm and regulated qi, but also treated liver meridian. Why must hyperthyroidism be cured so that the ocular process of hyperthyroidism will disappear? Because eye garbage must be removed from both sides of our neck down through the body along the meridians of the liver meridian, but if there is a lot of garbage piled up on our neck in this passage, we can't relieve the pressure on our eyes at all. At this time, if you want to be completely cured, there is only one way to go, and that is to take out the bulging garbage around your neck.

First of all, we must nourish the liver and calm the liver. Hyperthyroidism has brought enough pressure to the liver, so we must not bring any other pressure to it. So it is necessary to nourish the liver. The most important thing to nourish the liver is not to get angry and hurt the liver. Remember this! ! There is also staying up late and using the eyes more often, which is tantamount to increasing the burden on the liver. Secondly, you can push the liver meridian. The specific operation is to sit on the bed, straighten your right leg forward, bend your left leg flat, put your hands together, press it on the inner thigh, push it slightly to the knee joint along the position of the liver meridian on the inner thigh, push it repeatedly for 45 times, and then change the other leg. The method is the same. When pushing, you can put some lubricating oil on your skin to facilitate sliding and reduce friction. There are three meridians in the inner thigh, the liver meridian in the middle and the spleen meridian near the front. It is recommended to push every night to soothe the liver and regulate qi, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and also to beautify.

I have adhered to these principles for many years. In fact, if you do these things suddenly, you may feel very tired. But when these things gradually become a habit in your life, you will take them for granted. As your body gradually becomes comfortable, I believe you will not regard them as a burden, but as a pleasure and an encouragement. Before and after hyperthyroidism, my quality of life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and I always sigh that my life after rehabilitation is really beautiful. During the period of suffering from hyperthyroidism, it is always accompanied by heartbeat, asthma, weakness, palpitation, irritability and weakness, which makes me completely unable to understand the beauty of life. Life is living in feeling. There are many sick bodies that imprison our senses. The first thing we feel is pain and discomfort, so how many hearts feel good?

A hyperthyroidism has brought earth-shaking changes to my character and life. I didn't cure hyperthyroidism so much as it changed me. In short, in order to cure hyperthyroidism, 30% should first understand why they are sick, 30% should develop good living habits, go to bed early and get up early, live a healthy life, 30% should use traditional Chinese medicine to correct deviations, thus balancing the body, and 65,438+00% need western medicine to control hyperthyroidism crisis. Hyperthyroidism does make people fidgety, and I have a deep understanding of it, but we should learn to control and dominate our bodies. Everything God tells you to do is meaningful. Sometimes I get sick, maybe you want me to stop, do what others can't do, pay attention to what others ignore, and love those who love us.

I once heard a saying, "How do you spend your day, just as you spend your life". I still remember the second half of 16, and I felt that all my discomfort symptoms disappeared completely, and my eyes were no longer dry and painful. I think it's time for me to check it out. The results are the same as I expected, and all the indicators are maintained at a normal level. I am so happy that I wrote 30,000 words in Weibo (if you suffer from hyperthyroidism like me, please add jkf0 12, maybe you can give some advice according to your situation). Note: please do not disturb non-patients! ! ! I hope I can help my friends who are troubled by hyperthyroidism like me, but it is strange that many of my comments below 30 thousand words are. What do you think? In what way? How good is it? I thought it was very strange, so I asked: Are you writing too clearly to understand? Someone replied to me, it's too long, I don't want to see it. Please say it briefly, I feel speechless.

So now I want to change this sentence to "How do you treat diseases like life". You want to help, but you don't even have the patience to read an article that might help you, which shows that you don't pay enough attention to your illness. Maybe my article is bad and long, but you can ignore the details and find useful information directly. You are so lazy, how can you be responsible for your health? I find it difficult for me to help such people.

Someone once asked me a question gracefully. He said, "Am I fighting the disease? Or continue to live with illness? " At first, I thought this question was a bit ridiculous and naive, but later it caused me to think. Whether the treatment is "conquest" or "coexistence" is a question. Arrogance comes from the unknown When we realize that even if we do our best, we can't change the disease, we must learn to live in peace with the disease, strive to reconcile with the disease and turn our enemies into friends. This is a philosophy of survival wisdom and coping with diseases. We should get to know this "friend", find out his bad temper and find out the coping strategies. This is what we call "living with illness". It is not a passive compromise and concession to the disease, but an acceptance and forgiveness for people's pursuit of longer survival time and higher quality of life when the symptoms are alleviated or disappeared after active treatment and the condition is stable for a long time or even tends to improve. When we begin to accept the reality of coexistence with diseases, we will stop complaining, really start to think rationally and make positive changes, and life will become clearer little by little.

Our attitude towards diseases has a great influence on the quality of life. At this time, learn to put your heart down. It is a kind of life wisdom and a better choice to learn to live with diseases while actively treating them. Disease is a part of life, and it is sometimes an obsession to conquer it stubbornly. "Living with illness" is a state of seeking a balance between illness and the meaning of life. We should learn to shift the focus of life from the disease itself to how to "survive" better. We should understand that life is not only accompanied by illness, but also a wider and more wonderful world, where there are beautiful scenery, intoxicating flowers, graceful poems and paintings, melodious melodies, deep affection and happiness to enjoy. This empathy for the world outside the disease is actually a kind of treatment in itself. Regulating emotions, releasing stress, studying, exercising and keeping fit, and reasonable health care can all enhance immunity and make the body achieve a good balance of "healthy qi and internal evil". After all, living a better life and getting more happiness is what we want to pursue.
