I'm Sh sh Shaking....

So something really weird has started happening to me last week.
I was in bed just on the cusp of sleep, when all of a sudden my bed started shaking.
I got up and looked around and I realized that it wasn't just the bed that was shaking
It was the whole house...

Now If I could just take a moment and describe the shaking it was like I ate a cell phone and It was on vibrate mode.

At this point in time: 3 things Popped into my head...

1. This is a dream/night terror that has leaked into reality.
2. My room is haunted
and
3. The house is going to explode.


I got out of bed and the floor was shaking, I put my hand on the wall, it too was shaking.
I went to my mothers room and woke her up and asked "Do you feel the house shaking?"
She looked at me with sleep and confusion glazing her eyes.
"What?... No..."
"Do you?"

Ok, so now I'm thinking, Ive finally lost it, It was bound to happen at sometime or another.
Like a mad person tying to find proof of sanity by convincing another person that there is in fact a pink elephant in the room, I asked again "Are you sure you don't feel the house shaking?"

My mother got up from her bed and walked over to me
"You really don't feel the floor shaking?"I said
"No honey I don't feel anything"
"I guess it's me.. Feel me am I shaking?"
She put her hands on my arms and was quiet for a few seconds
"Nope, I don't feel anything"

I then explained to her what had happened while I was asleep, she dismissed it as a dream/night terror scenario, and that was that..
Until a day later when I was sitting in bed with my sister and I started vibrating again, this time I wasn't sleeping and very much awake.
For me that means its time to Google.

So I typed in Vibrating while asleep, Shaking Graves disease, thyroid vibrating and so on and so forth.
It turns out that other people are experiencing what I am experiencing ...

If your interested here is a link to one of the forums I was reading...
Sleep Disorders


Its a lot of mixed opinions some people say its because I have an autoimmune disease others say I am traveling outside of my body.
Whatever.
All I know is that it is incredibly unsettling.
more then likely it is a symptom of my graves disease...
Just something new I have to deal with, I still in the process of taking test to see how serious my graves is, I just have to wait and see....

Now my life is one big make it, or break it.

So far April has been a whirlwind for me...

I got my Song shop song from a mister Max Bemis.

It is Amazing. It's almost like he knows me


Then I tried my hand at making Macrons (a french pastry) and they came out sooo yummy

After that I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease.

It sounds scarier then it actually is.

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.

With Graves’ disease, the immune system makes antibodies that act like TSH, causing the thyroid to make more thyroid hormone than your body needs.

This is called an overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism.

An overactive thyroid causes every function of the body to speed up, such as heart rate and the rate your body turns food into energy.

Graves’ disease is one cause of overactive thyroid.

It is closely related to Hashimoto’s disease, another autoimmune disease affecting the thyroid.


Basically my body is attacking my thyroid and my thyroid is freaking out.


I think my case is extreme because I don't exhibit all of the symptoms.

So i'm not really worried about it and it's not like there is a whole lot I can do about it right now

So yeah....

April...

yeah...

So um....

Lol ok I think that's all for right now.

I wanted to post some pics of my Macrons but.. I don't feel like getting up to get my camera...

So it will have to wait for another post.

^_^


*Side note* The blanket octopus is beautiful....
