Hang in there, Kim. We are all sending positive energy and prayers your way. You are a strong person. Always have been. Just take a little breather and regroup. There is NOTHING you and God can't do together. Give yourself a talk .. Your words have sure done a lot for me in the past, for which I greatly appreciate!!! Pattie
Hi Kim,
I'm sorry you feel so weary, you have so much on your plate right now that I can't imagine how anyone could feel upbeat and positive in the same situation. This isn't a permanent state for you though, you do know that, don't you? Something is going to give.. It could be as simple as looking at your daughter's wedding photos and remembering how much you enjoyed living her special day with her? Maybe it will be meeting a great new Dr. who inspires you and gives you hope.. Whatever the break is, and whatever form it takes, one thing I know for certain is that it will happen. When it does things will change for you and you will be singing again. Until then, do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself. Your posts have brought smiles and laughter to many of us, so don't ever give up... tomorrow is another day.
Hang in there Kim - the very best and strongest, positive thoughts are aimed right at you:).
I don't know a doc in that area but I just wanted to say Hi and wish you better times. I will always remember you and your songs. It was a big help for many of us. Thank you. LL
So sorry to hear your story. With everything do did for all of us post TX'ers I wish we could return the pleasures you put up for all of us. I don't have the talent you have. I can say that your Dr. sounds OK to me. I agree with Chevy that you have the right to talk to other Dr. and or using the Pegassyst line to talk to them. The ride is very hard. I'd say on Friday's, if that is when you take your shot, sing some of your songs you wrote for us and know how much they helped us. Many times I would sit there singing and almost forget to take the meds. Laughter and positive attitudes go along way while on this ride. My prayers are with you. And the SVR bus has that seat waiting on you as many of the post TX'ers have stated.
Love Peace and Happiness
I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. Your songs have bben missed and you too. I sure hope you start feeling better soon. Good luck. Mike
welcome old man...did you bring the rest of the gang back with you?
Hey
Bummer that you are not doing so well. I think we all can look back at the suffering we went through on tx and some of us still go through post tx and it will make us stronger, better people and for you it will give you a lot of "eyedeas" for the songs.
I'm 7 months post tx. I'm dealing with hypothyroid, aches and pains. I also have some issues with my heart. New doc started me on 0.025MCG of Levothyroxine 7 weeks ago. At 4 weeks it brought me just under the the 4.67 max from 5.26 but doc was on vaction that week and fill in doc would not up the dose.
My point here is doc said hypothyroid had nothing to do with aches and pains but I am feeling much better now with these meds.I have been researching this and have found that aches and pains ARE a symptom of hypothyroidism. I don't have the links I have been reading but one was on a Mayo clinic site that listed aches and pains as a #1 symptom. You probably know all this already as you have been at this for a long while but wanted to try and help in return for all the inspiration you have given to us. Hang in there!
