For all who are wondering.......

I have had to take time out as of yesterday from Bev as I have a severe sore throat which usually means my thyroid levels arent right but to be on the safe side...am having bloods done today and will be back with her on Monday.
Going up to the Country tomorrow for the weekend for a breather.
I cannt be near Bev until I know what the sore throat is from.
Dealing with all this ok now whereas before...didnt think I could.
Bev is on morphine and has been for 2 weeks now (through the stomach) and isnt eating or drinking so its a waiting game. She isnt in pain though and is comfortable.
Thankyou to everyone who answered my journal posting.
I am taking each day as it comes.......

Well FT3 level has gone too high so stopping meds for 2 days then resuming at the normal dose.
Seems the stress of everything has my levels up a bit and it sure dont feel good lol.
For those of you who dont convert T4 to T3 very well.....it might interest you to know that I am converting TOO well lol.
So taking a few days out from the stress....no choice in the matter.

I've not been able to get online for a while. Not good about your friend. I think it is difficult for you to be away, but you know you are doing the right thing. I am sure you can still manage a call to her to let her know you are still caring about her.
Hope you get better soon.

My thoughts and prayers are with you!  It is a difficult journey, but you are not alone. You are probably dealing with a virus, because stress with us thyroidians drops our immune system down pretty quickly. I hope you get to feeling better soon!
Take large amounts of easily absorbed Vit C......and any immune boosters that you have. Some people have great success with a good form of colloidal silver.
My best wishes to you!
