- Extremely angry, get into physical fights with my fiance
- lazy
- just want to bury myself in something meaningless, like games
- stressed
- sick to my stomach

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism when I was 16, was put on a synthetic hormone, found I was allergic and then was put on Armour-thyroid. When I turned 18 I moved away from home and stopped taking my medication. My mother was 'unstable' so I think she might have had the same problem, she died when I was 8.



6. Which time of the day you are worst?

I'm on a night schedule for work so I'm up at 6pm and go to sleep at 10am. I'm usually the worst around 12am - 3am.


7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same? Example- time, temperature, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing etc.

I use to live in Arizona, and the heat makes me physically ill. The cold is soothing.



8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?

I don't believe so.


9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?

I do the best during the winter, when it's close or freezing. I don't mine humidity when it's cold. If it's hot I would rather it be humid then dry.

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.

- I'm bright and festive, quite silly
- Lazy, but take hold and do what I'm suppose to, to be responsible. (ire. clean, cook, do work, pay bills etc.)
- I finish what I started unless asked by someone to do something else.
- I take care of my love ones (my fiance has MS I cook, clean, give him his supplements, and remedies.) I will do anything, and everything if I have to because that's how I feel useful
- I can be mischievous, but in a cute way (stealing socks from my fiance because I lost all mine to the 'under bed'
- I can get irritable a lot specially if I don't remember I said something.
- I'm always cautious of others emotions, if someone is angry, I tend to be that way, if their sad the same, to much empathy
- more logical then following my emotions.


*How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm?


I love them, their cool sounding, and don't frighten me at all.


* Do you like being consoled during your tough times?

It depends if I'm blindly mad, (when I get to mad I tend to black out what I'm doing and just act) I don't want anything to do with any consoling, but if I'm grey and sad I want nothing but to be hugged, and told everything will be alright.

* Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?

Light hurts my eyes a lot. Most of my headaches are brought on by light. Certain pitch sounds hurts my left ear, loud noises are extremely unpleasant.

*Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
Weeping, talking to one self etc?

I pick at my feet if I don't wear socks, so I regularly do to avoid that. I run my teeth along my nails until they end up cracking when I'm doing nothing with my hands (i.e. watching TV.). Pick at the acne on my arms (I have no idea why)

*How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?

I love my fiance and my father. My fiance who I live with is a couple years younger then me so he's a constant annoyance, but I wouldn't trade him for the world. My dad's whole life is me right now and that bothers me but I can't do anything about it. I don't have many friends because I left them when I moved to Pittsburgh, they all since messed up their lives and I mostly don't talk to them anymore.


11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?

I hate the dark I just recently started to sleep in the dark (no night light) I rely on my computer mouse to put out a little bit of blue light to illuminate the room.
I tend not to remember my dreams but if I do it's usually about what I have been doing recently (i.e. I have read Alice's adventures in Wonderland, and Through the looking glass, I have dreams related to that)


12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions?

I crave salt a lot, more recently milk, and protein rich foods.

13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive?

Always excessive, but that's probably due to drinking and lack of salt

14. How is your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive?

Normal for me, I don't eat a lot so I can maintain my weight.
Usually 6 breakfast sausages, and two pieces of toast for breakfast
No lunch or dinner, I'll have a slice of cheese for a snack through the day, nothing else though.

15. Is there any kind of food which your body can’t stand?

My body tends to not process sunflower seeds or nuts.

16. Is your sweat normal or less or more? Where does it sweat more: Head, Trunk or Limbs?

I have always sweated a moderate amount. Under arms, and under my breasts.

17. How is your bowel movement and stool type?

It fluctuates A LOT! usually have 4-5 bowel movements a day, but the stool is loose to constipated, there is no telling what will happen, even with no change to the diet.

18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping?

Usually I sleep horribly, not enough space in the bed, my neck is always sore, and I wake not rested. I sleep on my side, usually arms under pillow, which is between my shoulder and my head. I try sleeping any other way my night sleep is horrible. I hate sleeping all the way through to the next day because I'll just feel like I haven't slept at all. I constantly have to get up to urinate.

19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general?


I feel that I can, but I have no drive to have sex anymore. My partner is more then willing, there is complete sexual attraction between us, I just never want to have sex, and when we do I usually get dry within 7-10 minutes.


20. Do you have any strange, peculiar or unusual symptom or feelings? How are you different from others?

Not that I can think of.

21. What medications have been taken earlier by you to treat the diseases and do you have any particular symptom surfacing after the medication?

I have only taken Armour-thyroid that I have been off of for 3 years.


22. What major diseases are running in your family?

The only main thing that is constant in both sides of my family is that almost all of my relatives die from a type of can-cerous ailment.


23. Describe, how do you look like? Describe your overall appearance.

Short girl, look my age, pale skin, died red hair (originally dirty blond), large breasted, heavy set, but still curvy, small build (5'), symmetrical face, heart-shaped/petite face, blue eyes.


(For Females)


24. If your menstrual cycles are not normal, please describe the irregularities, like pains, moods, flow type, clots etc.

My menstrual cycle will come and go so to speak, I use to take curcumin regularly which fixed it for a while and I was on a 32 day cycle but it stopped working and I stopped taking it. I have it once every few months, it's very heavy, bad craps, clots, and so sweet I'm like a different person.


25. What major diseases have you had in your life and when. Please write them in a chronological manner.


Only thing has been hypothyroidism
