Hypo or the Journal of a Hypothyroid Male - Part One A Pre-Diagnosis Journal

Introduction

Hypo or The Journal of a Hypothyroid Male was compiled in 2014 - and subsequently extensively edited - from various sources, mostly emails, on the internet and elsewhere, and could have been a lot longer, given the near-plethoric wealth of these same sources, and so may - or may not - merely be the first of a series of such journals.

I seem to have been given a bit of a bashing by the Enemy, and I can't shake off negative thoughts once they come into my head; they seem to lodge themselves in there. Which makes socialising difficult. I'd so appreciate your prayers. God willing I'll give you a call very soon. Thanks again. God Bless You.

Sorry to bother you, but I recently had some tests at my local clinic and was told that my prostate was mildly enlarged. I was also told I had slightly raised liver enzymes. Another medical specialist told me I should look further into this, which is why I'm contacting you, although you may not be able to help me; I thought of having some further tests privately: I feel my local NHS clinic have done all they can; they assured me I was pretty well and that nothing was even remotely serious. But for myself, I'd like to probe further. I was wondering how much it might be for a preliminary appointment, if that is on the cards. I look forward to hearing from you.

Extreme intelligence can make you introvert; because you see through things. This is not noticeable in youth; but in age, that intelligence becomes more sharp, brittle, penetrating: this can result in withdrawal from life and its thudding banalities.

I love your site; it's so powerful. I'm so glad David Wilkerson gave you his prophetic prayer/blessing; I'm such an admirer of his. Glad to see the Wesleyan Revival given its due in The Final Curse; also the early Church; God bless it! I'm still haunted by my pre-Christian past: I endlessly weep over my mistakes, not just those of my past, but of the past week...I'm so glad you say God can and does free people of their pasts: I'd love to be free. I'm going to keep reading at your site. Wow! Such exciting material. Thank you. God bless you. Edited 23/10/15
