    Well at least your resting heart rate should have been well down.  That is how I tell if my dose needs changing.

    Morning, Cheery 🌞. Just caught up with your diary, and as always your To Do lists have inspired me!
    Well done on the result with the LPG company, and I'm glad you had such a wonderful birthday. Hopefully by the time you read this you'll have caught up with your thyroid meds and be feeling much better 😁
    Live the good life where you have been planted.

    Ah ok - I was just reading an article on MSN that said the May 2025 draw had been done and there were 2 x £1m winners.   But MSN isn't exactly the most reliable news feed.  My bad.
